Lawyer and blogger raymiyatake expresses his doubts [ja] over the election of Japanese diplomat Yukiya Amano as director-general of the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA). First, he says, Amano was supported by only 23 nations out of 35. Second, he points out the difficult situation that the Agency is dealing with, at present, and the “unfairness” of the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty (NPT), which should be applied also to the five members already recognized as possessing nuclear power. Lastly, he suggests that instead of promoting a “pacific use” of nuclear energy, this should be replaced with clean energy sources (such as the geothermal or the aeolian ones).
This year is Mobile Suit Gundam's 30th birthday.

Actually, there’s one solution the article didn’t really go into.
The CCP can just outright buy a stake in a major news media outlet. Afterwards, they can either make it spin a story its direction or perhaps use it to vet journalists before bringing them into the Chinese media system.
That’s not quite so shocking, especially since Rupert Murdoch has started to inject his own views into the WSJ.
Jack:
Will any body, other than Chinese, read/view any of the news media after Chinese government bought them. Actually, don’t they have major news media outlets already ? The whole world is reading them already, would adding new ones help ?
Oh, will you stop reading WSJ because Murdoch owns it ? You should, really.
