Philip Dorling, China, US swap N Korea secrets. The Age, Apr 11, 2011 (available now).

("According to US diplomatic cables obtained by WikiLeaks and provided exclusively to The Age, US-Chinese defence consultative talks held in Beijing in July 2009 included lengthy exchanges about North Korea between US Defence Under Secretary for Policy Michele Flournoy and top-ranking Chinese generals including People's Liberation Army Intelligence Department director Major-General Yang Hui")

Note:
(a) YANG Hui 总参情报部部长 杨晖 少将
(b) The report states PLA intelligence chief General Yang "reminded the US delegation that China had 'paid a heavy price' for the three wars it had fought on the Korean Peninsula - a war in 1592, the 1894-95 Sino-Japanese War and the 1950-53 Korean War.

The first refers to
Japanese invasions of Korea (1592–1598)

--------------------------------Separately
(1) The New Chinese Missile Looks Very Familiar. Strategy Page, Apr 10, 2011.
http://www.strategypage.com/htmw/htart/articles/20110410.aspx
("What is worrisome to Russia is that the M20 looks very similar to the Russian Iskander (9K720) system")

Note:
(a) I fail to find the Chinese name for M20.
(b) Iskander
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Iskander
(is the Persian version of the name Alexander, after Alexander the Great. It is used as male first name in Middle East, Central Asia and South Asia. It can refer to: 9K720 Iskander, ballistic missile)

(2) F-35 Tech Rescues The F-22. Strategy Page, Apr 10, 2011.
http://www.strategypage.com/htmw/htcbtsp/articles/20110410.aspx
("The main problem is the radar absorbent material used on the aircraft. The B-2 had a similar problem, which was eventually brought under control. But even then, the B-2 cost more than twice as much to operate than the half century old B-52. The B-2 and F-22 use different types of radar absorbent materials, so many of the B-2 solutions will not work for the F-22. But some of the F-35 materials did.")

(3) Two reports by the same reporter.

Anshel Pfeffer, VIDEO / Defense Ministry Releases Footage of Iron Dome in Action. Haaretz, Apr 10, 2011.
http://www.haaretz.com/news/diplomacy-defense/video-defense-ministry-releases-footage-of-iron-dome-in-action-1.355190
("The Iron Dome system has successfully intercepted eight rockets since it was first deployed")

My comment: This report appeared about half an hour ago (time in the upper left corner of the web page: "19:51").

But that (addition of a video clip) is not the only change with this report. An earlier report (time: "03:12") of the same day was entitled
Iron Dome Makes World History Intercepting Nine Gaza Rockets. Haaretz, Apr 10, 2011.
http://www.haaretz.com/print-edition/news/iron-dome-makes-world-history-intercepting-nine-gaza-rockets-1.355033

It  was "nine" interception then but now "eight."
