Satellite images reveal mock-up of a U.S. destroyer at Chinese missile test site. Here's more on what the replica could be used for.

A pushback against Beijing's reach on U.S. soil: Two senators are voicing concerns over Chinese nationals having access to American national labs.

We take a look at the rare earth race with China—and how an African country could be the game changer.
