'Taiwan is Taiwan': China name dispute moves from birds to climate change

The dispute over international organisations referring to Taiwan as Chinese has moved from wild bird conservation to climate change, after a global alliance of mayors began listing Taiwanese cities as belonging to China on its website. China has ramped up pressure on international groups and companies to refer to democratic, self-ruled Taiwan as being part of China, to the anger of Taiwan's government and many of its people. This month a Taiwan bird conservation body said it had been expelled from a partnership with a British-based wildlife charity after it demanded the Taiwan group change its name and sign documents stating it did not support Taiwan's independence.

Fighting erupts between Azerbaijan and Armenia over disputed Nagorny Karabakh region

Armenia’s Prime Minister yesterday/SUN called on citizens to ‘defend our sacred homeland’ after heavy fighting with Azerbaijan brought the arch enemies to the brink of all-out war. The clashes erupted on Sunday morning in the separatist region of Nagorno-Karabkh, an ethnically Armenian zone within the official borders of Azerbaijan but outside of its control. Tensions have been rising for months over the disputed territory, which was seized by Armenian separatists in 1991 in one of the bloodiest wars that followed the collapse of the Soviet Union. Both sides, former members of the Soviet bloc, yesterday denied being the aggressor, while reporting military and civilian casualties that included at least one child. Russia has a military base in Armenia and a fully-fledged war could draw it into conflict with Turkey, the other key power in the region, which backs Azerbaijan. In an attempt to prevent a major conflagration, Moscow called for a ceasefire and negotiations, along with France, Germany and the EU. Ankara blamed Armenia for "hostility that will send the region into fire" and offered Baku its full support.

S. Korea calls for N. Korea to further investigate shooting

South Korea said Saturday it will request North Korea to further investigate the killing of a South Korean government official who was shot by North Korean troops after being found adrift near the rivals’ disputed sea boundary while apparently trying to defect. Seoul could also possibly call for a joint investigation into Tuesday’s shooting, which sparked outrage in the South and drew a rare apology from North Korean leader Kim Jong Un. Kim was quoted as saying he was “very sorry” over what he described as an “unexpected, unfortunate incident" in a message sent by Pyongyang's United Front Department, a North Korean government agency in charge of inter-Korean relations.
