Top NewsXi Meet Foreign Leaders ahead of V DayAnchorChinese President Xi Jinping has sat down for talks with a number of foreign leaders who have been arriving for China's V-day parade.
CRI's Qi Zhi reports.
ReporterOne of the first leaders to arrive ahead of Thursday's events is Kazakh President Nursultan Nazarbayev.
Xi Jinping has taken time to express appreciation4 for the role the former Soviet5 Union played in helping6 China through the war.
"70 years ago, the Chinese people won the victory in the tough war against Japanese aggression7, making great contributions to the world's anti-Fascism campaign. We will never forget the selfless support and assistance given by Kazakhstan and other former Soviet states. The war-tested friendship between us will be carried forward."It's Nazarbayev's first official state visit to China after being reelected as Kazakhstan's president.
The two leaders have also discussed regional issues, including climate change, food security and information security.
Both have also agreed to expedite the construction of a major crude oil and natural gas pipeline9 project between the two countries.
Meanwhile, Xi Jinping has also sat down for talks with Laotian President Choummaly Sayasone.
"China and Laos were both victims in World War Two. Both peoples joined hands to fight aggression and work for national independence. China hopes to contribute even more to world peace and development together with Laos and other countries."President Xi Jinping has also met with Cambodian King Norodom Sihamoni.
"China and Cambodia are friendly neighbors and brothers. We cherish our traditional friendship that has withstood the test of time and changes in the international situation. We are ready to maintain high-level contacts with the country in various forms, and boost cooperation in key areas."Xi Jinping has also met with Serbian President Tomislav Nikolic, with the two vowing13 to work more closely through the Silk Road initiative.
Around 30 heads of state, including Russian President Vladimir Putin and South Korean President Park Park Geun-hye, will attend the military parade that is set to take place this Thursday morning in Beijing.
For CRI, I'm Qi Zhi.
Top Political Advisor14 Hails CPC-KMT Bond in Counter-Japan WarThe mainland's top political advisor, Yu Zhengsheng, has taken time to hail the cooperation between the Communist Party of China and the Kuomintang during the war, suggesting it was a key factor in the victory over Japanese forces.
Yu Zhengsheng has made the suggestion while meeting with former Kuomintang chair Lien15 Chan on Monday.
Lien Chan is in Beijing to attend China's V-Day parade on this coming Thursday.
Around 200 people from Taiwan are expected to attend the event.
Though both sides had been involved in a civil war, both the CPC and Kuomintang put their fight on hold to work together to battle the invading Japanese forces.
Part IV – International AssistanceAnchorWe now continue our series on the War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression ahead of the 70th anniversary this week.
In this, part four of our series, we look back at the mutual16 help the allies gave one-another as they battled Axis17 forces.
Here's CRI's Xiao Yi.
ReporterFor much of the time, China was fighting alone in the early stage of the war, similar to what Britain did at first. Appeasement18 lingered. And there had been a lack of genuine understanding of the true brutal20 nature of fascism as a global menace.
The world stood by when a number of countries fell to enemy hands one after another, including China, and when the joint21 global ambition of the trilateral Axis to carve up the world was first known.
Stood by ……until things changed when German, Italian and Japanese troops advanced to more warfronts – the Soviet Union and North Africa on the western theatre and Pearl Harbor and Southeast on the orient. The world now saw a real common threat and a shared responsibility to fight back, jointly22.
The American Volunteer Group, popularly known as Flying Tigers, was the only defensive23 force in the sky of China between 1941 and 1942, to ensure material supplies of desperate needs in defiance24 of Japan's superior air power.
The Flying Tigers destroyed nearly 300 Japanese aircrafts, with the loss of 26 crew members and 73 aircrafts. As Daune Schultz, author of "the Maverick25 War", wrote, "For a time, the Flying Tigers provided the only victories against the Japanese anywhere in the Far East. The handful of men had shown that the Japanese were not invincible26."91-year-old J. V. Vinyard is proud that he took part in the operation.
"(And) my assistance to the Chinese was one of my greatest moments of my life that I will never forget it."The US also provided massive aid in form of aircrafts, guns, medicines, and military instructors27. After 1941, assistance from the US and its engagement in the Pacific War dramatically improved the situation in China.
Earlier between 1937 and 1941, when Japanese troops rampaged across half of the Chinese territory, the Soviet Union offered help and even fought shoulder to shoulder with China, to resist the invaders28' blitzkrieg and shatter their dream of annihilating29 China within three months.
In May this year, President Xi Jinping awarded 18 representatives of Russian veterans with commemorative medals.
"I would like to extend my sincere regards and high respects to the Russian veterans who made great contribution to the victory of Chinese People's War of Resistance and the world's anti-Fascist war."Between 1937 and 1941, about 5,000 military experts were sent to China. Moscow also offered loans, as well as industrial and military assistance to rebuild the battered31 Chinese army. The Soviet Volunteer Air Force joined the war from the very beginning. They carried out air operations over Nanking and the central city of Wuhan. They even flew across Japanese-occupied areas and launched bomb attacks on the Japanese airbase in Taiwan. The Squadron destroyed and damaged almost 1,200 Japanese jets with the loss of 236 crewmembers.
It was a hard time for Shudlo Taras Georgievich and fellow pilots. The 88-year-old veteran also recalls the help provided by Chinese people at that time.
"Local Chinese helped us a lot. It's fair to say that they were supporting us with marvelous devotion, although they were actually very poor at the time."Some international organizations and individuals also came in support of China's tough struggle.
One of them is Canadian Physician Dr. Norman Bethune, who came in 1938 and joined the Eighth Route Army. He went to frontlines for emergency operations and assisted in training Chinese doctors and nurses.
Dr. Bethune died of infection after an operation in late 1939. For decades, he has been a role model in China, for his value, dedication33 and integrity. His stories are included in school textbooks and there are hospitals named after him. The Bethune Museum in Canada is a must-go item for Chinese tourists.
Norman Bethune is one of the many foreign nationals who offered a helping hand for war-ravaged China. There were also doctors, educators, industrialists34 and journalists from around the world, including overseas Chinese, such as Singaporean businessman Tan KahKee. He organized campaigns to raise awareness35 of Japanese atrocities36 and donations to extend financial and material support. Many died when carrying out their missions in occupied areas or on transport routes, or at project sites, such as the China-Burma Highway – the only international supply line at the time.
3200 overseas Chinese from Southeast Asia came as drivers and mechanics. These people, referred as Nanyang Volunteers, worked in harsh conditions. More than 1000 of them died in Japanese air raids, or of diseases, or later executed by the Japanese after the fall of Burma, or Myanmar as the country is called today.
A monument has been set up along the road to commemorate37 the Nanyang transport volunteers who died along the road. Lin Xiaochang organized its construction.
"I said to myself I must set up a monument beside the Burma Road. It's a monument for more than 1,000 people who sacrificed themselves."Precious support indeed, for people knew they were helping the Chinese who were helping THEM, by pinning down over two-thirds of Japanese troops on Chinese soil.

Tomorrow, in our final report, we'll tell you what's being done to try to ensure the War is never forgotten.
Chinese top legislator calls for upholding equality, promotion38 of rule of law at world parliamentarian conferenceAnchorChina's top legislator is calling for the international community to uphold equality and promote the rule of law.
The comments have been made at a World Conference of Speakers of Parliament currently being held at the UN Headquarters in New York.
CRI's UN correspondent Su Yi has more.
ReporterZhang Dejiang, chair of the Standing19 Committee of China's National People's Congress, has put an emphasis on international equality and justice while addressing the three-day conference being held in the UN General Assembly hall.
"Countries, irrespective of their size, strength and wealth, are all equal members of the international community. They should abide39 by the international law and universally recognized basic norms governing international relations, respect each other's sovereignty and territorial40 integrity, refrain from interfering41 in each other's internal affairs, and seek peaceful settlement of differences and disputes through dialogue and consultation10."Zhand Dejiang is also calling for countries around the world to respect diversity when it comes to the social systems and development paths of individual countries.
"After a long period of exploration, Chinese people have found a development path that is suitable to their country's conditions and a set of institutional system with unique features has been set up. The development path and institutional system are fully42 capable of ensuring people to enjoy broader and more solid rights and freedom. They can effectively fine tune43 the political structure and rally resources on the most important issues. They can also effectively uphold national sovereignty as well as protect the security and development interests."At the same time, Zhang Dejiang has also announced a Chinese donation of 1.5 million U.S. dollars in cash to the conference's organizer, the Inter-Parliamentary Union, to further support its work.
The Geneva-based organization says it going to use the money to help lawmakers from developing countries better cope with the challenges they are facing.
UN Secretary General Ban Ki-moon has also addressed the conference, rallying support from parliamentarians around the world to push forward the UN's sustainable development goals.
"People will look to you to hold your government accountable for achieving the goals and to write the laws and invest in the programs that will make them a reality."The international community is set to officially adopt the 17-point agenda at a key UN development summit to be held in New York later this September.
It's viewed as an upgrade and expansion of the Millennium44 Development Goals that will expire by the end of this year.
The World Conference of Speakers of Parliament is organized by the IPU every five years and supported by the UN.

China's northeast may see better economic performance in H2: NDRCAnchorChina's top economic regulator is moving to try to quell45 concerns the plan to revitalize the stuttering economy of the country's northeast has failed.
CRI's Luo Wen has more.
ReporterOnce China's industrial base, the northeast has been hit hard by a continued economic slowdown.
Many cities in the region are facing challenges as the commodities there disappear and heavy industries, once the life-blood of China's northeast, are forced to undergo restructuring to modernize46.
Li Pumin, secretary-general of the National Development and Reform Commission, says of all 31 provinces, municipalities and autonomous47 regions, the three northeast provinces are among the four with the weakest economic expansion through the first half of the year.
"The three provinces in northeast China, namely Liaoning, Jilin, and Heilongjiang, have suffered a significant downturn in the first half of this year. Liaoning has only grown by 2.6-perent, while Jilin is up 6.1-percent and Heilongjiang's growth has come in at 5.1 percent. The growth rates are below the national average of 7 percent."The weak numbers have raise concerns the government's strategy adopted in 2003 to prop48 up the region's economy, dubbed49 the Northeast China Revitalization Plan, hasn't been effective.
However, NDRC Chief Li Pumin says that concern is unfounded"I don't agree with the contention50 the Northeast China Revitalization Plan has failed. Since the plan was adopted in 2003, a series of policies have been put in place to boost economic growth in the region. And we do see progress being made in the area's manufacturing, small businesses, agriculture, social security and the renovation52 of shanty53 towns."As part of the longer-term plan, the State Council announced 139 major projects for the northeast region a year ago.
As of July, 80 have been completed or are under construction.
All told, the government has spent close to 90-billion U.S. dollars on the projects.
Li Pumin says as the rest of the projects get completed, the region's economy will continue to pick-up through the 2nd half of this year.
"Output of large industrial sectors55, fixed-asset investment and growth in fiscal56 revenues in this region during the first half of this year saw recovery or narrowing declines. With the steady growth of agriculture, secondary industries, employment and the incomes of both urban and rural residents, and the improving ideological57 and working conditions of the local officials, it is fair to say that the three provinces will possibly see better economic growth, in the second half of this year."The NDRC is working on policies designed to "comprehensively revive" the countries old industrial bases, including the northeast, which has been dubbed China's 'rust58 belt' because of the aging heavy industry infrastructure59 in the region.
The new policies are going to have an emphasis on environmental protection, while at the same time, revitalizing some of the existing infrastructure to make it viable60 in modern society.

China Adopts New Rules to Target Rampant61 Telecom FraudAnchorAs of today, new rules kick in here in China, making it mandatory62 to register any new mobile phone number you purchase.
Authorities say the main goal of the new plan is to clamp down on telecom scams in China.
CRI's Xiao Yi has more.
ReporterThis is the second time in five years the central government has vowed63 to tighten64 control on mobile phone registrations65.
Telecom fraud, one of the most resented public security hazards in China, has experienced an annual increase of around 70% over the past years.
A young office worker named Wei Hua says she's heard of or even experienced many fraud attempts.
"Scammers usually claim to be from phone or cable TV companies, saying that you have unpaid66 dues. Some of them even claimed to be the police and demand that you provide your bank password."Scams have been coupled with widespread trading of personal information.
Figures from China's Ministry67 of Public Security show that over 10 billion yuan, or some 1.6 billion US dollars, was siphoned into the pockets of scammers -- operating both in China and overseas last year.
Worse still, some victims have died of shock after failing to cope with the impact of fraud.
While many factors may have contributed to the prevalence of scams, one stands out – mobile phone SIM cards have been marketed without real-name registrations.
Zhao Zhiguo, Director of Bureau of Telecommunication68 Enablement at China's Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, says improvements must be made.
"One key measure is to perfect the technology to verify mobile phone customers' identities. We will also need to better regulate retail69 outlets70. Third, we will need to shut down accounts without proper registrations."Feeling the pressure, mobile network operators say they will comply with the new regulations to ensure their proper implementation72.
Yi Huatong, a marketing73 manager with China Mobile, one of the three major national networks criticized for poor management of SIM card marketing, says his company will also implement71 a new measure.
"Beginning September 1st, we will require all retail outlets to be equipped with proper chip readers to verify customers' identities. Otherwise we will terminate their SIM card sales."More than one billion active mobile numbers are used in China. Among them, an untold74 number has not been registered with the users' real names.
Meanwhile, scammers are not restricting themselves to phone calls. Other platforms like the Internet have also provided them with opportunities, and a national law on fighting this crime is still not forthcoming.
Zhao Zhiguo, the official with the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, admitted that protecting citizens' interests and security in our time remains75 a daunting76 challenge for China.
For CRI, I'm XYee.
Thai police seek two new suspects in Bangkok bombingPolice in Thailand have issued arrest warrants for two new suspects in the widening investigation77 into a deadly bombing in Bangkok 2-weeks ago.
They have released a photograph of the woman's Thai identification card - showing a young woman in a black headscarf - and a sketch78 of the man whose nationality is unknown.
This follows a weekend raid on a suburban79 apartment block in Bangkok which is said to have uncovered possible bomb-making materials as well as dozens of fake passports from Turkey.
This follows the arrest of a foreign national by Thai police over the weekend.
Meanwhile, National police Chief Somyot Poompanmoung says he was taking the unusual step of giving police officers involved in the case some 3-million Thai Baht as a reward for their work.
"It's clear that this arrest is due to the ability of the police alone. No matter what investigative measures or technologies they use, it is the ability of the Thai authorities that has led to the arrest. This one million baht is my money and another two million comes from my business friends who did not want to be named."Thai police have been criticized for an erratic80 investigation that had, until this weekend, uncovered few clues about who was behind a blast which rocked a Hindu shrine81 on August 17th, killing82 20 and injuring more than 130 others.
Seven Chinese nationals are among the dead and over 20 others are still being treated in hospitals.
So far no group has claimed responsibility.
Impact of Migration83 Crisis on Free-movement in EUAnchorGerman Chancellor84 Angela Merkel is warning of the possible return of border checks across Europe unless EU countries share the burden of refugees making their way into Europe.
Our correspondent Sandra Gathmann has more from Brussels.
ReporterOnce inside the European Union, travel is easy…passport checks are airports are rare, and the roads are open….thanks to the so-called Schengen Treaty signed back in 1985 which only requires identity controls on Europe's external borders.
But the perks85 of free-movement may be under threat. There's been increase in the number of terror attacks by suspects who've dipped in and out of intelligence service radars87 as they move across, in, and out of the EU. A recent foiled attack on a train from Paris to Amsterdam was carried out by Ayoube El Khazzani - a 25 year old Moroccan national with a Spanish passport who boarded a train in Brussels carrying several weapons. He'd also been to Turkey and Syria but flew there from Germany.
The EU is fighting calls to put up border controls and passport checks on train services. Natascha Bertraud is a spokeswoman for the European Commission.
"It's very clear that the Schengen area is not and has never been the problem., Security checks on trains is perfectly88 allowed just as they are on airplanes but of course the EU not being a police force or intelligence service, security primarily remains a national prerogative89 and responsibility.
And that - is part of the problem. Without a centralized EU intelligence unit, people like Ayoub El Khazzani, or the Koachi brothers who carried out the attacks on the Paris-based Charlie Hebdo magazine last January, slip through the cracks.
A lack of frontiers have come under scrutiny90 thanks to the EU's migration crisis too. Asylum91 rules state that refugees must apply in the first European country they arrive in. But thousands of migrants landing in countries like Greece and Italy are moving upward, to countries like Germany where they get better benefits. German Chancellor Angela Merkel says that if European countries don't sign up to share the burden of refugees - Schengen could be called into question. Pietro De Matteis is President of European Federalists Party. He says tighter border controls are not the answer.
"German interior minister mentioned we may need to suspend Schengen because of the current asylum seekers crisis. Clearly this is not a solution. Because asylum seekers, first of all have the right to come to Europe. And secondly92 by putting frontiers and controls across Europe its not going to stop them to come and seek a better future. "Along with the euro the achievement of a borderless EU has been one of Europe's proud achievements… both the migration crisis and threats of home grown terrorism are reviving calls for more integrated asylum policies, and more intelligence sharing…. If Schengen were to fail, it would undermine efforts to deepen the European Union on every level.

Short sleepers106 more like to catch coldNew research appears to prove a commonly-held suggestion that a lack of sleep is going to make you more vulnerable to catching107 a cold.
US-based research appearing in the medical journal "Sleep" shows that people who sleep for less than 6-hours at a time are as much as 4-times as likely to come down with a cold.
The same analysis suggests the fewer hours of continual sleep one gets, the more vulnerable they are to the cold virus.
The study looked at people across various demographics, including age, race and stress levels.
Biz ReportsAnchorTurning onto business news. First, a quick look at the closing numbers across North America and Europe as well as a recap on the Chinese market.

China encourages mergers114, cash bonuses, share repurchases by listed companiesA new notice has gone out to listed companies in China, with authorities calling on them to take steps to make their shares more appealing for investors.
Among the demands are more dividends115, as well as share buy-backs and moves toward more mergers and acquisitions.
The memo30 to the listed companies in China has been jointly put out by the CSRC, the Ministry of Finance, the State-owned Assets Supervision116 and Administration Commission and the China Banking117 Regulatory Commission.
The memo says the move is part of the broader plans to push forward reforms of state-owned enterprises and promote the "healthy development" of the capital market.
Here in China, most listed companies, particularly state-run firms, are reluctant to share profits with their investors, choosing instead to roll-over the profits for their own corporate118 interests.
Goldman Sachs cuts China's 2016 forecastGoldman Sachs has cut growth forecast for China next down to 6.4 percent from 6.7 percent.
Goldman is still maintaining its 6.8 growth percent prediction for this year.
China's GDP expanded 7 percent from a year earlier in the first half, which is in-line with the official full-year target of around 7 percent.
However, data in June and July is suggesting any recovery in China this year has been very short-lived.
There are also fears that China's manufacturing sector may deliver its worst performance in more than six years later on today when the official Manufacturing PMI is released.
The Caixin Flash Manufacturing PMI fell to a 77-month low of 47.1 in August from the final reading of 47.8 in July.

In addition, authorities in Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou and Shenzhen are now allowed to make their own decisions about the minimum down payment ratio on 2nd homes.
Five Chinese State-owned Commercial Banks See Slower Growth in H1AnchorThe first-half results of all 5 of China's main state-run banking giants have now all been calculated.
Among them, only Bank of Communications and the Bank of China have profit increases toward two-percent.
Communications' first-half profits are up 1.5-percent.
Bank of China's profits gained 1.7-percent.
However, the other three main players didn't fare nearly as well.
ICBC and China Construction Bank's profits failed to crack 1-percent growth, while Agricultural Bank had the worst first-half, with profits only growing 0.5-percent.
Mounting bad loans are being pointed119 to as one of the major concerns, with the non-performing loan ratio for all of China's commercial banking sector hitting 1.5 percent.
For more on what's happening with China's state-run banking giants, we're joined on the line by Gao Shang, analyst120 with Guantong Futures121.
Questions:
1) What is going on with these state-owned commercial banks in the first half of the year? What is behind their smaller profit gains?
2) Among all these factors, is the mounting bad loans the major reason for the commercial banks' profit slowdown?
3) As the Internet banking service is gaining more popularities in China and traditional commercial banks are experiencing transformation122, what kind of actions could these state-owned commercial banks take to better survive amid fierce competition with online banking platforms?
4) It is being said that Chinese economy is likely to pick up in the second half of this year. So, are we expecting better profit gains for these commercial banks in China?
