Japan’s new arms export rules trigger Chinese warning against ‘moves towards militarism’
Japan has scrapped long-standing restrictions on arms exports in a major break with its post-war pacifist policy that is likely to derail any potential thaw in relations with China.

Canucks offseason depth chart: Trade chips, roster holes, free agents and more

Economist Justin Lin urges West to adopt ‘Eastern wisdom’ as China moves up value chain
The West’s narrative of Chinese “overcapacity” is a double standard, said a former chief economist of the World Bank as he urged advanced economies to draw on “Eastern wisdom” rather than protectionism to navigate the rise of hi-tech competition.

What’s the key to better vegan cheese? Microbreweries, one startup says
Last week, I overheard someone in a pizza shop ask if a particular slice was vegetarian or vegan.

The key missing ingredient is casein, a protein from mammalian milk that gives cheese its structure and helps it melt.
