CHINA-US: PACOM CHIEF ADMIRAL HARRIS TO RETIRE NEXT YEAR 

US PACOM Chief Admiral Harry Harris is to retire next year. Last year China's Ambassador to the US, Cui Tiankai had requested the removal of Harris for describing China's island building in the South China Sea as building a "great wall of sand". Wu Xinbo, Director of the Centre for American Studies at Fudan University in Shanghai said "since Trump took office, northeast Asia is where he has paid more attention in the Asia-Pacific Region instead of the South China Sea", adding that "even a hawkish new military chief could not muddy the waters or stir hings up again".
