在美国发表的一份研究报告指控北京对新疆穆斯林少数民族的政策可能导致20年内出生人口短缺400多万。几十年来，新疆是中国出生率最高的地区之一，维吾尔族人口迅速增长。 但从2017年开始，控制措施有所收紧。计划生育措施在某些情况下会导致监禁，并可能导致强制绝育。多年来，北京一直试图加强对这一广阔的西北部地区的控制。

China’s PR problem |
President Xi Jinping last week instructed Communist Party officials to improve their communications with the rest of the world. Analysts said he was acknowledging that increasingly aggressive diplomacy had not worked. |
“We must focus on setting the tone right, be open and confident but also modest and humble, and strive to create a credible, lovable and respectable image of China,” Xi said. |
But it’s not as amicable as it sounds: Xi did not signal any change in the policies that have sparked the tension. |
“There’s a long tradition of Chinese leaders dispensing guidance for the cadre and the people. Think of Mao Zedong’s sayings collected in the ‘Little Red Book,’” our Beijing bureau chief, Steven Lee Myers, told me. |
“Xi Jinping is the first leader since then whose words have been elevated to such an exalted level in the Communist Party pantheon,” Steven said. |
Xi’s speeches have been collected in several volumes already and there’s even an app for party officials to study his views. This meeting of the Politburo, the Communist Party’s top governing body, was a “study session,” meant to go over communication of the country’s policies after increasingly negative views of China. |
Xi’s plan? A push “to convince the world of the wisdom of the country’s policies that have contributed to those negative perceptions,” Steven told me — “not a sign that he intends to moderate them.” China’s growing power has coincided with a drastic deterioration in public perceptions abroad. |

How rising prices in China are being felt around the world |
As inflation worries circle the globe, Beijing is moving swiftly to protect its factories and workplaces from rising costs. Some of its anti-inflation tools include subsidies for small businesses to pay for commodities and limits on commodities trading to rein in speculation. |
The government is discouraging steel makers and coal producers from raising prices and allowing its currency to rise to a value unseen in years. For now, wholesale prices are increasing, and the measures may just slow the rise instead of stopping it. Those rising prices can already be felt throughout the world. |
Prices are up in the U.S. and elsewhere for soybeans, napkins and other products, prompting warnings that a wave of inflation could threaten the global economy. For now, Chinese manufacturers, rather than consumers, are feeling the price increases. |
What’s ahead: Many economists believe price increases will moderate once companies clear supply bottlenecks caused by the coronavirus pandemic. |
Related: New trade data suggests the outlook for the U.S. economy will depend in part on the rate of recovery of other nations. |

【六四 32 周年】布林肯：天安門形同暴政同義詞 當年示威呼應港人今日的掙扎/ 白宮表示將有1900萬劑，透過COVAX分享
六四屠城三十二周年，美國國務卿布林肯發表聲明，指天安門已成為中共政權在 1989 年暴行的同義詞。他更形容，當年天安門示威呼應了香港人為爭取民主自由所面對的掙扎。
聲明指，當年天安門廣場上的人只有簡單訴求，「認同及尊重人權」，布林肯批評，中國政權不但未有尊嚴人民訴求，更以暴力回應。他指 6 月 4 日當日，抗爭者並肩的勇氣，提醒我們永遠不可放棄尋求當日的真相，包括要統計當時被殺害、拘捕，以及失蹤的民眾人數。又指天安門的示威，呼應了今日香港人為爭取民主自由的種種掙扎，即使是悼念活動亦被當權者禁止。他強調，美國將繼續與中國人站在同一陣線，要求中國政府尊重普世人權價值 ...
