China increases military budget/Warnings and threats continue
China will increase military spending by more than 7% ...

Christian politicians in Iraq are trying to overturn legislation that bans the import and sale of alcohol.
Officials issued orders on Saturday to enforce the ban. It became law last month despite opposition.
Christian politicians sued saying this was an undemocratic decision.
Public consumption of alcohol is frowned upon in Iraq, a predominantly Muslim country, but it can be purchased in liquor stores or licensed bars.
The law, first passed by parliament in 2016, imposes a fine of up to 25 million Iraqi dinars (£14,256).
Ai ndalon shitjen, importin ose prodhimin e alkoolit dhe u zyrtarizua vetëm muajin e kaluar, shtatë vjet që kur u miratua, pasi u shfaq në gazetën zyrtare.
Mbetet e paqartë se sa rreptësisht mund të zbatohet ligji dhe nëse Gjykata e Lartë Federale e vendit do ta rrëzojë atë.
Në apelin e tyre në gjykatë, anëtarët e Lëvizjes “Babilon” këmbëngulin se legjislacioni ishte jokushtetues sepse ai injoron të drejtat e pakicave dhe kufizon lirinë.
Ai bie gjithashtu në kundërshtim me një dekret të qeverisë, të miratuar më pak se një javë përpara se gazeta të botohej më 20 shkurt, duke vendosur tarifën në 200% për të gjitha pijet alkoolike të importuara për katër vitet e ardhshme.
Sarmad Abbas, një agjent pronash me bazë në kryeqytetin e Irakut, Bagdad, i tha agjencisë së lajmeve AFP se ndalimi thjesht do të shtynte shitjet e alkoolit në tregun e zi.
He acknowledged that Muslim teachings forbid the consumption of alcohol. "But these are personal freedoms that you cannot stop citizens from exercising," he said.
According to reports at the time, the bill was originally proposed by Mahmoud al-Hassan, then a judge and lawmaker for the Iraqi State of Law Coalition.
He said it was in line with Article 2 of Iraq's 2005 constitution, which prohibits any legislation that goes against Islam, the AP news agency wrote./ CNA.al
