...mate - a signal that China is open to further rapprochement across the tense Taiwan Strait. "I think Hu Jintao will put cross-Strait interests first because that serves Beijing's long-term strategic benefit," says Yang. "On the diplomatic front, I think Beijing will try their best not to upset the Taiwanese and send the wrong message." Indeed, unlike Chen's U.S. visit, which drew strident condemnations from China, Ma's overseas trip has thus far generated only muted reaction...
...when Ma embarks on his first overseas trip as president on August 12, he will be doing his best not to upset that fragile détente. Trips abroad by Taiwanese leaders are always diplomatically touchy since China does not recognize the island as an independent nation. But Ma is determined to keep his campaign promise of charting a smoother course with the mainland. Unlike his predecessor, Chen Shui-bian, who regularly traveled in a chartered 747, Ma will fly on a commercial airline to the U.S. on his way to attend presidential inaugurations in Paraguay and the Dominican Republic...
...outspoken teen's team was blown out. And even if China had pulled off an upset, Team USA could have made it to the medal round.

Bashar al-Assad, who is said to be deeply upset by Suleiman's murder, stuck to his schedule and flew to Tehran on Saturday for talks with top Iranian officials, followed by a trip to Turkey. And the government initially remained silent on the assassination, while the Syrian media ducked the issue. But on Wednesday for the first time, Buthaina Shaaban, an advisor to President Assad, confirmed Suleiman's death...
...that no one will mind a bit. As ordinary folks spill their guts on Maury and the reality shows, as young stars go picturesquely bonkers for the paparazzi, people may no longer feel embarrassed about anything. It's not indiscretion, it's publicity. The Warsaw kids aren't upset at how they look in the movie; they're out promoting it (and themselves) this summer, which beats working at Arby's. The film also has a page on Facebook. No topless photos, please...
