US Lists "National Association for China's Peaceful Unification" as a Foreign Mission
The US State Department announced that they had listed National Association for China's Peaceful Unification (#NACPU) as a Foreign Mission, and had also withdrawn an agreement which promotes the local corporation between China and the US.
Mike Pompeo, the Secretary of States, said in a statement that the United Front Work Department under CCP has control on NACPU in Washington. The mission of this CCP department is to eliminate the threat to CCP governing, and to promote and expand its influence overseas. As a result, the US State Department has to label NACPU, to let outsiders recognise that the information is from Beijing.
After being a foreign mission, NACPU is required to submit a list of information to the US, including employee lists and their assets owned or leased.
According to the introduction in the Chinese United Front Work website, a group of Diaoyu activists founded NACPU in the Washington area in February 1973. They aim at insisting on the One-China principle, opposing all words and practices that split China's land and sovereignty, promoting the exchange and communication in various areas across the Straits, uniting Chinese abroad, and safeguarding the rights and interest of the Chinese. They also play a role in anti-independence and unification activities overseas.

US Criticises China’s Violation of North Korea Sanctions, Offers USD 5M for Information Providers
The US State Department criticised China on Tuesday (Nov 24) for publicly violating the international community’s sanction regime on North Korea and announced that Washington will offer a reward of USD 5 million (HKD 39 million) to any persons who provide information on individuals in violation of the sanctions on North Korea.
The US Deputy Assistant Secretary for North Korea Alex Wong accused China during a video speech at an event hosted by the Center for Strategic and International Studies. He said that China was “seeking to undo” the UN’s sanctions on North Korea, in attempting to persuade North Korea to give up its nuclear weapons. He criticised that a premature withdrawing of the sanction may weaken the bargaining power in the negotiations for denuclearisation.
Wong also said that there were at least 20 thousand North Korean labourers within the Chinese borders, and that some Chinese corporations were engaged with more than 20 North Koreans connected to weapons of mass destructions or banks in North Korea.
He added that in the past year, the US discovered that North Korean ships violated the bans for at least 555 times in the transportation of sanctioned products, including coal, to China, “On none of these occasions... did the Chinese authorities act to stop these illicit imports.” The US will offer USD 5 million rewards to individuals who could provide information on North Korea’s sanction evasions.

Failure to improve US-China relations ‘risks cold war’, warns Kissinger
Former US national security adviser Henry Kissinger has warned that strains between Washington and Beijing pose “the biggest problem” for the world, and a failure to improve them risks a “cold war” between the world’s two largest economies.
“It’s the biggest problem for America; it’s the biggest problem for the world. Because if we can’t solve that, then the risk is that all over the world a kind of cold war will develop between China and the United States,” Kissinger told the McCain Institute’s Sedona Forum on global issues.

China wants to control Indo-Pacific, Defense Secretary Austin says
China is set on controlling the Indo-Pacific, and without a direct line of communication between leaders in Washington and Beijing, a small incident can spark a crisis, U.S. Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin told lawmakers Thursday.
Austin described the lack of a hotline -- popularly called a red phone -- as a "critical" issue.
He was answering a question from Maine Sen. Angus King, who likened the situation to that portrayed in "The Guns of August," the late historian Barbara Tuchman's Pulitzer Prize-winning book on the lead-up to World War I. The June 1914 assassination of the heir to the Austro-Hungarian throne quickly exploded into armed conflict, owing partly to the lack of a mechanism to de-escalate tensions.

Washington is getting China wrong
Evergrande group, one of China’s largest property developers, is tottering on the brink of bankruptcy. Its founder, Hui Ka Yan, is scrounging to find the cash to meet payments on the $300 billion his company owes. Beijing has warned local officials to prepare for possible fallout if the gargantuan firm collapses. Around the world, financial analysts are wondering if Evergrande is China’s “Lehman moment,” the starting gun for a destructive wave of defaults that could take down the nation’s banks and set back the country’s—and the world’s—already shaky recovery from the pandemic-induced economic downturn.
