It might feel like a raw deal for some who are already suffocating under the escalating costs of health insurance.   Continue reading “Tax refunds will be cut for ACA recipients”

WASHINGTON — China’s navy commander has vowed to continue intercepting United States military surveillance planes that come close to its coast, while saying he wants to avoid a repeat of a collision that downed two jets 13 years ago, killing a Chinese pilot.

“It’s become routine for the US to conduct close-in surveillance of China and I don’t see the end of these activities. The US won’t be the US if it stops doing it,” People’s Liberation Army navy chief Admiral Wu Shengli told top US navy officials at an global forum in Newport, Rhode Island, on Wednesday, said a report in the state-owned Global Times newspaper yesterday. “But China’s countermeasures won’t end either.”   Continue reading “China to continue intercepting US jets that come too close”
