There is “a growing rift between Trump’s White House and the news organizations that cover it, less than two days into his administration.” On his first full day in office, both Trump and his press secretary “made easily disproved claims, adding fuel to his opponents’ charges that the president is a habitual liar.”

“China is increasingly asserting itself as a great power, and nowhere is its rise more likely to lead to war than in the South China Sea” where tensions have been rising with nations who dispute China’s claims. “These tensions are likely only to increase in the wake of the Permanent Court of Arbitration’s ruling Tuesday undermining China’s claims and bolstering those of the Philippines, one of the closest U.S. allies in the region.” We have not escaped from “perilous waters.” In fact, “China is more prepared for a confrontation than Western experts may expect.”
