** Thou Doth Protest
------------------------------------------------------------
A day after an international tribunal rejected China’s claims in the South China Sea, Beijing excoriated the panel and sent two civilian planes to artificial islands it occupies in the waterway to demonstrate control as the
New York Times’ Jane Perlez reports (http://www.nytimes.com/2016/07/14/world/asia/beijing-south-china-sea-ruling-hague.html ) .

The Times editorial board weighed in with “Testing the Rule of Law in the South China Sea (http://www.nytimes.com/2016/07/13/opinion/testing-the-rule-of-law-in-the-south-china-sea.html?ref=opinion) .”

Reuters’ Ben Blanchard and Martin Petty report that “China vows to protect South China Sea sovereignty, Manila upbeat (http://www.reuters.com/article/us-southchinasea-ruling-stakes-idUSKCN0ZS02U ) .”

And as the Wall Street Journal’s Trefor Moss reports (http://www.wsj.com/articles/south-china-sea-ruling-leaves-smaller-claimants-in-uncharted-waters-1468406365 ) , the court’s ruling against Beijing’s claims over the South China Sea fueled optimism across Southeast Asia, where many viewed the verdict as giving smaller states legal leverage to assert their own claims over the disputed waters.

Dive Deeper: CSIS’s Asia Maritime Transparency Initiative (AMTI) has launched an interactive map of the China-Philippines Arbitration (https://amti.csis.org/) as well as an analysis of the case (https://amti.csis.org/arbitration-ruling-analysis/) by CSIS’s Mike Green, Amy Searight, Bonnie Glaser, Greg Polling and Murray Hiebert.

Brooking’s Jeff Bader today published “What the United States and China should do in the wake of the South China Sea ruling (http://www.brookings.edu/blogs/order-from-chaos/posts/2016/07/13-us-policy-south-china-sea-ruling-bader) .”

** May Day
------------------------------------------------------------
Britain’s carefully choreographed political change of command culminated today with Theresa May inheriting the reins of a country caught in an unaccustomed vortex of uncertainty as it hurtles toward an exit from the European Union, as the
Washington Post’s Griff Witte reports (https://www.washingtonpost.com/world/theresa-may-prepares-for-queens-summons-as-britain-gets-a-new-prime-minister/2016/07/13/95792540-4851-11e6-8dac-0c6e4accc5b1_story.html) .

Dive Deeper: Wilson Center Fellow and American University professor Michelle Egan weighed in on the Brexit in today’s edition of “Wilson Center Now (https://www.wilsoncenter.org/article/brexit-fallout) .”

** CSIS on Capitol Hill
------------------------------------------------------------
CSIS’s Heather Conley testified on Capitol Hill on “Coast Guard Arctic Implementation Capabilities (https://www.csis.org/analysis/coast-guard-arctic-implementation-capabilities) ,” CSIS’s Daniel Runde testified on “Public-Private Partnerships in Foreign Aid (https://www.csis.org/analysis/public-private-partnerships-foreign-aid-leveraging-us-assistance-greater-impact-and) ,” and CSIS president and CEO John Hamre today testified on “Budget Requirements and Justification for the Nuclear Cruise Missile (https://www.csis.org/analysis/budget-requirements-justification-nuclear-cruise-missile) .”

** Critical Quote
------------------------------------------------------------

** “I strongly believe that we should have additional rounds of arms reductions with Russia and China. Cancelling LRSO now would hugely damage any chance we have for additional rounds of reductions in nuclear weapons.”

** Smiles
------------------------------------------------------------
Thanks to everyone for all of your notes about Smiles this week, Ireland and Glen Hansard.

I think Hansard is one of the most important artists working today. In Ireland, his band The Frames is second only to U2 in popularity.

And, U2 doesn’t play in small clubs very often these days. In June 2014, The Frames performed in Dublin’s legendary Whelans to celebrate the venue’s 25th anniversary. This is what is looked and sounded like (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S3f3XhwBh3Y ) .
