Chinese Premier proposes ways to resolve south china sea disputes
Chinese Premier Li Keqiang has raised a five-point proposal in an attempt to stabilize the situation in the South China Seas during the annual East Asian summit in Kuala Lumpur.
It comes as leaders from the 10 ASEAN states, three East Asian nations, India, Australia, New Zealand, the US and Russia joined the summit on Sunday.
Li Keqiang said countries should stick to the UN charter as well as the principles of international law to settle sovereign and jurisdictional disputes through consultation
Li Keqiang said he hoped countries could soon carry out the Declaration on the Conduct of Parties in the South China Sea.
Meanwhile, the Chinese Premier called on countries outside the region to refrain from taking action that might cause tension.
Chinese vice FM criticizes US Warship's South China Sea intrusion
On the sideline of ongoing regional meetings in Kuala lumpur, China's Vice Foreign Minister Liu Zhenmin said US's intrusion into the South China Sea was a "political provocation" in the name of "freedom of navigation."
During a news conference on Sunday, Liu Zhenmin stressed that China always repected the freedom of navigation by other nations.
In late October, the naval destroyer USS Lassen sailed within 12 nautical miles of the Zhubi Reef in the South China Sea without notifying the Chinese government.
This raised strong opposition from the Chinese side, as sailing within 12 nautical miles of a territory held by a different country is viewed internationally as a violation of territorial sovereignty.
The Chinese vice foreign minister expressed China's concerns about some countries' behavior in the South China Sea.
Earlier, US president Barack Obama said his country would continue to assert its freedom of navigation rights in the Sea, while calling on nations to stop militarising their claims.
However, Liu Zhenmin has defended China's rights to build military facilities as a protocol of national defence and as a way to protect the islands.
Egyptians vote in second round of parliamentary polls
Voting is underway in Egypt in the second phase of the country's parliamentary elections.
The 2nd part of the staggered vote has more than 28-million people eligible to vote in 13 different provinces.
Only around one-quarter of eligible voters turned out during the first phase of the vote, with Islamists and young people staying away from the polls.
This is Egypt's first parliamentary election since former Islamist President Mohammed Morsi was ousted in 2013.
Most observers expect this vote will see mostly supporters of President Abel Fatah al-Sisi elected to office.
Egypt has been without a working parliament since the summer of 2012.
Bangladesh hangs two opposition leaders for 1971 war crimes
Security forces in Bangladesh are on high alert following the execution of two opposition leaders.
Both were convicted of war crimes during the country's war of independence in 1971.
Ali Ahsan Mohammad Mujahid, secretary general of Bangladesh Jamaat-e-Islami party, and Salauddin Quader Chowdhury, a leader of Bangladesh Nationalist Party, were hanged in a jail in the capital Dhaka.
The hangings took place just hours after the country's President rejected their mercy pleas, removing the last legal option against their executions.
Mujahid once served as a cabinet member in the government of former Bangladeshi Prime Minister Khaleda Zia from 2001 to 2006.
The opposition in Bangladesh is accusing Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina of attempting to stifle opposition through the courts.
Bangladesh has been on edge for the past 3-years after the government launched a probe into alleged war crimes committed by forces loyal to Pakistan, which controlled Bangladesh until 1971.
Snow blankets north China, closes highways
Six highways passing through Beijing have been temporarily shut down due to the heavy snow which has been engulfing the capital region for the past 24-hours.
All highways running through Tianjin have been shut down.
At least 20 flights out of the airport in Tianjin have also been delayed.
Forecasters say the current weather system lingering over the capital region, as well as Shanxi and parts of Inner Mongolia is going to dump around 12-millimeters of snow in the area over at least the next 24-hours.
A blue-alert, the lowest on the 4-tiered color-coded system, has been issued for snow across north China.
