NEW YORK www.airmaxshoessaleonline.com , May 29 (Xinhua) -- A 500-member Chinese delegation of publishing professionals wrapped up here Friday what organizers called the most impressive guest of honor event in the history of America's biggest international book fair.


Some 150 Chinese publishers displayed nearly 10,000 book titles at the China Pavilion of the venue of the BookExpo America (BEA), where some 130 professional and cultural programs and displays were held in the past three days, said organizers.


"This maybe coming to an end for China, (but) I do think this is very much the beginning for American and Chinese publishers to do business air max deluxe for sale ," said BEA event director Steven Rosato Friday.


This year's BEA book event also came at a time when the Chinese publishing industry scored an impressive performance last year. According to official data, some 198,000 new books were published in China and a record high of 1.3 million titles were sold in bookstores in the year.

TOKYO, June 16 (Xinhua) -- A former British ambassador to Japan expressed his concerns in an article that leaders of the Japanese ruling Liberal Democratic Party (LDP) could threaten Japan's long- term national interests through policies that could lead to a more autocratic and nationalist regime, according to a local newspaper Tuesday.


Hugh Cortazzi, who served as the British ambassador in Tokyo from 1980 to 1984 air max 2019 for sale , said in the essay carried on the Japan Times, an independent English-language newspaper, that the Abe administration is asserting more pressure on media to support his policy.


"NHK, which should be independent, has become a government mouthpiece. The kisha club (press club) system air max plus for sale , which is used to feed government information to the media, has been used to promote self-censorship by the implied threat of being excluded from access. A vendetta against the Asahi Shimbun seems to have been at least partly successful," Cartazzi said.


He criticized that the notorious Special Secrecy Law which took effect in 2013 was passed "without adequate parliamentary scrutiny and contains provisions that could be misused to limit freedom of speech."


"Anyone familiar with the spy mania of prewar Japan must be concerned about the dangers from this piece of legislation," he added.


The former ambassador slammed the prime minister's historical revisionism as "a major cause for concern," saying the facts of the Nanjing Massacre and "comfort women" issue air max tn for sale , as well as slave labors who died building the Burma-Siam railway have not been forgotten by victim countries, "even if Japanese school textbooks do not mention these facts."


"As the 70th anniversary of the end of the war approaches, any attempt by Abe to dilute the Murayama and Kono statements or to deny historical facts will be damaging to Japan's reputation in the world and to Japan's national interests," Cartazzi commented.


He concluded in the article titled "Will Japan repeat past errors" that "a repetition of events in the 1930s is inconceivable but there is much about politics in Tokyo to cause alarm among those of us who admire Japanese culture and have many Japanese friends."


The article came at a time when the prime minister is seeking the passage of a series of security bills allowing the Self- Defense Forces (SDF) to exercise the right to collective defense, but about 98 percent of the country's constitutional scholars said the bills are "unconstitutional" since Japan's war-renouncing Constitution bans the SDF from using of collective defense.


"If Abe administration would force this policy without amending the constitution air max 95 for sale , that would be the beginning of tyranny, that is a destruction of the rule of law," Setsu Kobayashi, professor emeritus at Keio University and a prominent scholar on Japan's constitution, said Monday in a press conference.


Kobayashi testified in a recent Diet session that the bills are "unconstitutional" and another constitutional scholar Yasuo Hasebe air max shoes for sale , professor of constitutional law at Waseda Law School, also made the same testimony in the parliament session and was accused by LDP lawmakers as an inexpert of national security.


Hasebe slammed the criticism and defended himself that "If I say what is congruent with the interest of the government, they say I am an expert. And if I say something which is against the interest of the government, they allege that I am an inexpert. This is quite astounded."


Hasebe testified for the enactment of the Special Secrecy Law in 2013 and was seen as a national security expert by the ruling party. "If you said I'm not an expert on the national security, you should immediately abolish the notorious secrecy law air max for sale online ," the professor satirized the LDP on Monday.
