Top NewsPresident Xi to deliver speech at V-Day paradeChinese President Xi Jinping is set to deliver a speech on Thursday before ahead of this Thursday's commemorations marking the 70th anniversary of the end of the War.
Xi Jinping will be joined by several world leaders on the rostrum overseeing the display.
China Radio International will be providing live coverage3 of the military parade in-front of Tian'anmen, starting at 10am.
Soldiers Ready for ParadeAnchorTomorrow's parade along Chang'an Avenue in-front of Tian'anmen will be the culmination4 of months of work by soldiers from China and various other countries taking part.
CRI's Liu Yuanhui reports.
ReporterAsk virutally any soldier taking part in Thursday's formations, and they'll tell you they're ready.
"After all of our training, our formations are clean, crisp and steady. All we've been doing at this point is just fine-tuning our steps to every second and every meter. We're going to keep this level going through the parade."Among the highlights of this Thursday's parade is a fly-by of China's naval6 patrol aircraft.
Zhang Zhicheng is the Commander of the naval patrol craft.
He says they've been practicing so that even the slightest error will be prevented.
"It is the first time we've put large aircraft in a parade. Admittedly, it was difficult at first to train our pilots to fly less than 7-meters apart at the beginning. But thanks to new software, which has been developed in China, we've been able to make things almost perfect."More than 500 pieces of China's newest military hardware will be on-display.
All have been domestically-produced.
At least 4 out of 5 have never been seen before by the public.
The display, much larger than any of the previous parades put on in China, will also be first to involve foreign troops.
Around a thousand troops from 17 other countries will be among the some 12-thousand soldiers striding in-front of Tian'anmen.
"It's a rare opportunity for us as Cubans to take part in a parade here in China. People from all over the world will witness this historical moment. We have been well prepared and we appreciate the help given by our Chinese counterparts."Of the foreign troops involved, Mexico has included some of its female soldiers.
Dianna Espinosa, one of the Mexican soldiers taking part in Thursday's parade, says the only difference between them and their male counterparts will be the clothes.
"Our formation is made up of military school students from the three services of our army. We have women in our troop. And we have to live up to the same standards as our male counterparts. The only difference between male and female soldiers is our uniforms."The foreign contingents8 themselves will be rolled-out in alphabetical9 order - with one exception.
Russian troops will appear at the end of the foreign processions.
This is a reciprocal gesture for Russia allowing the Chinese honor guard to take the end of the foreign procession in Red Square to mark their 70th Anniversary celebrations in May.
For CRI, I'm Liu Yuanhui.
V-Day Parade Casts Influence WorldwideAnchorWith the V-Day parade just around the corner, China's role in World War II has become a topic of discussion around the world.
CRI's Qi Zhi reports.
ReporterRolando Lopez Almo worked as Cuba's ambassador to China some 30-years ago.
He says the Cuban people are well-aware of the contributions made by the Chinese people during the war.
"The Chinese people did quite good according to their possibilities. And it should be remembered that the main suffering in Asia was done to the Chinese people, and the resistance of the Chinese people, they are resilient, their will to defeat foreign aggression11, must always be remembered."Mikhail Delyagin, a Russian scholar who has been studying China since the 1990s, says the role of Chinese troops was invaluable12.
"At that time, the Chinese army held back most of the Japanese forces. China was a main battlefield, and Chinese forces fought the war aggressively. The Chinese soldiers fought persistently13 not only on domestic territory, but also in certain territories in Southeast Asia. Without China, the War against Axis14 forces would never have succeeded."The parade this Thursday to mark the 70th anniversary of the Chinese People's War Against Japanese Aggression is a first-of-its-kind in China.
An estimated 35-million Chinese soldiers and civilians15 were killed in Japan's occupation of China.
Svetlana Zhurova, deputy chief of the Russian Parliament's Foreign Affairs Committee, says the parade is a reminder16 of history.
"We have the responsibility to remember history, so that the wrong side of history will not be repeated, especially when there are some people trying to do that. The complicated international situation leads to misunderstanding and conflicts. Both Russia and China are among the most influential18 powers in the world. It is imperative19 that by the military parade, we remind people of history and past sacrifice, which are undeniable facts."Some 30 heads of state will attend the commemorations, including the parade in Tian'anmen Square.
Russian President Vladimir Putin and South Korean President Park Geun-Hye will be among those on the rostrum at Tian'anmen.
Srikanth Kondapalli, an Indian professor of Chinese Studies, says the parade holds a dual-purpose.
"This parade is going to be keenly watched in the international community, partly because there are these revivals20 of these memories, Number One. Number two, this also indicates the influence of China in the international system"At the same time, Sino-Indian researcher Jagannath Panda says the rest of the world shouldn't view the parade as a threat.
"Behind this big event, China wants to pass a message that China is a big power today, that the military has already been a powerful military today, the army has become a strong army today. But it's not for all those negative reasons. The PLA wants to participate in the peace-loving, peacemaking efforts. And that is the positive signal it wants to give the world using the 70th commemoration parade."Commemoration activities are scheduled to start at 10am tomorrow.
Chinese President Xi Jinping is due to deliver a speech before the military parade begins.
For CRI, I'm Qi Zhi.
Xi meets more foreign leaders ahead of V-Day celebrationsChinese President Xi Jinping has met with more foreign leaders in Beijing set to attend the V-Day celebrations tomorrow.
Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro is one of the latest world leaders to arrive.
Xi Jinping has told Maduro China hopes to help Venezuela improve its industrial capacity.
The Chinese President has also welcomed Sudanese counterpart Omar al-Bashir.
Xi Jinping has revealed China and Sudan are moving to establish a formal strategic partnership21.
He says this will include increased cooperation in areas such as petroleum22, infrastructure23, agriculture and renewable energy.
The Chinese president has also held talks with leaders from Vanuatu and Papua New Guinea.
Xi meets with former KMT chairmanXi Jinping, in his capacity as general secretary of the Communist Party of China, is calling for people from both the mainland and Taiwan to remember history and safeguard peace.
His comments have been made while meeting with Lien10 Chan, former chair of Taiwan's ruling Kuomintang Party.
A delegation24 from Taiwan is in Beijing to attend this week's commemoration marking the 70th anniversary of the end of the War.
Xi Jinping has taken time laud25 both the contributions of the CPC and the KMT during the war, saying the victory over Japanese forces was a struggle among everyone in the nation, regardless of their political affiliations26.
VJ Day Series: Part V – To Record and Reflect on HistoryAnchorToday we conclude our series connected to the War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression.
In our final report, CRI's Xiao Yi takes us through the nuances involved in determining what exactly happened during the turbulent times before, during and after the war.
Reporter:
Did Japan "invade" China in the 1930's and 40's or their troops merely "entered" China? Did the Nanjing Massacre27 really happen, followed by rampant28 rapes29? Did Japan colonize30 some countries they occupied or just liberate31 them from colonial rule? Did they force women to be "sex slaves" for their troops? Did the Japanese army conduct germ warfare32 in World War Two?
There's a long list of questions like these, and almost each of them has a so-called "neutralized33 term", such as "enter" instead of "invade" and "comfort women" versus34 "military sex slaves", all with hidden intent.
Hence the counter measures to collect ironclad evidence; a tough job.
Shanghai Jiaotong University has just published evidence from the Tokyo Trial held by the International Military Tribunal for the Far East nearly 70 years ago. This collection, including 50 volumes in Japanese and 3 volumes of indexes in Chinese, serves as proof of Japan's WWII atrocities35. The book is the second published by the University after its previous work on the proceedings36 of the Tokyo Trial published two years ago. Both of them are regarded as precious basic files detailing Japan's war crimes.The Tokyo Trial from 1946 to 1948 charged 28 Japanese military and political leaders with Class A war crimes.
Professor Liu Tong, from the Center for the Tokyo Trial Studies of Jiaotong University, says it's a meticulous37 work that requires a high degree of specificity.
"In order to fight against Japanese right-wing groups, you have to present something more convincing to refute them. Those academic results must derive38 from original historical data."In July, over 1000 privately-owned historical documents recording39 Japanese war crimes went on display in Beijing. These include books, newspapers, military currencies, wartime savings40 bonds, photos and archives, mostly in Japanese language. They are part of personal collections from Hsu Po Yih, a Taiwan artist and philanthropist.
The donation is also a response to All-China Federation41 of Returned Overseas Chinese, which started soliciting42 evidence from around the world since last year.
"Through these documents, we could see that Chinese mainland and Taiwan are working together fighting against Japanese aggression. This means that we could overcome any problems as long as we unite together."Down south in Fujian Province, a recent exhibition features coastal43 defence in Fujian and Taiwan. One item is a pictorial44 made by Japanese Intelligence Department during the war, recording Japanese troops' killing45, looting and raping46 in detail.
Fujian has also released an original video footage about the invasion of the province. The footage, shot by Japanese war correspondents back in 1941, encloses details of the attacks on Zhejiang and Fujian provinces and the Japanese troops' atrocities, such as raping and looting after they took the city of Fuzhou. It also reveals how Japanese troops looted fortunes in the two provinces to cut off the channel of assistance given by overseas Chinese.
The exhibition's co-organizer Jiang Binjian says the collections present irrefutable facts of history.
"Since Japanese right wing forces have been denying their history of invasion, I try to gather evidence of Japanese troops' atrocities especially coming from Japanese side, so as to truly unveil the historical facts, by using their own historical records."Japanese fighter jets bombed Fujian in more than 3100 sorties. 2.5 million people were displaced, that's nearly 20 percent of the then provincial47 population.
But Japanese right-ring politicians continue their denial of their history of war and atrocities, such as sex slaves of the army, the Nanjing Massacre and germ warfare.
In October last year, Chief Cabinet Secretary Yoshihide Suga rejected his predecessor48, Yohei Kono's admission of coercion49 of "comfort women" during the war.
Lyu Yaodong, an expert with the Japanese Studies Institute of the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences, explains Japan's motivations.
"He's making attempt to set up a so-called 'correct view of history' via his own explanations on the international community. Such a 'view of history' is actually full of historical revisionism, meaning the denial of their history of aggression."Back in 1993, Kono made a statement acknowledging Japan's forceful recruitment of over 200 thousand young women from China, the Korean Peninsula and Southeast Asia and forced them to serve in military brothels during the War.
As counter measures against denial, China's State Archives Administration has publicized a series of 31 hand-written confessions50 from Japanese war criminals, about what they did in China. Up north, the City of Harbin has opened a new museum, exhibiting more than 5,000 pieces of evidence of Japan's secret chemical and biological warfare research conducted by its Army Unit 731. Between 1939 and 1943, the unit produced about 640 kilograms of bacteria, enough to destroy the entire human race if used.
New findings and new research results are on display in many other cities, including Nanjing. The message –China's willing to look forward and foster partnership with old adversaries51, as in the case of Germany and its former enemies, but only when history is truly reflected upon as a mirror.
Back Anchor:
CRI's Xiao Yi with our final report in our series on the Chinese People's War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression.
China Hopes Japanese Gov't Listen to Citizens' Righteous Calls on Security BillsThe Chinese government is weighing-in on the latest demonstrations52 outside the Japanese parliament this past weekend.
Chinese Foreign Ministry53 spokesperson Hua Chunying says its time for Abe administration to hear what people are saying.
"We hope the Japanese government can listen to the righteous calls from their residents seriously, draw lessons from the history earnestly, adhere to peaceful development path, act prudently54 in military security sector55, and do more things that are beneficial to regional peace and stability."Some 120-thousand people rallied outside the parliament building in Tokyo on Sunday, demanding Prime Minister Shinzo Abe rescind56 the controversial security bills.
The bills, if passed, will enable Japan's military to become an offensive force, allowing it to engage in armed conflicts overseas in defense57 of its allies.
At the same time, the Chinese side is rejecting Japanese objections to UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon's attendance at tomorrow's V-Day celebrations in Beijing.
The foreign ministry notes 30 different heads-of-state and government leaders are attending the military parade on Thursday.
China's Manufacturing Contracts, Inspiring Pro-growth PoliciesAnchorDespite the latest stats showing contraction58 in China's manufacturing sector, Chinese authorities say they are still seeing positive signs out of the current economy.
CRI's Luo Wen has more.
ReporterManufacturing PMI, the official gauge59 of factory activity in China, slipped into contraction territory for the third time this year in August.
The official reading has come in at 49.7, down from an even-50 for July.
50 is the line between contraction and expansion.
Ning Jizhe, vice-Chair of the National Development and Reform Commission, says despite the shift into contraction, the PMI is still showing signs it will improve in the future.
"Yes, I have seen the data on the manufacturing PMI, and it has gone from 50 to 49 and something. But this is a small margin60 of fluctuation61. The PMI index is composed of many categories. But we think there are many signs that it will improve in the future. It will improve in the future."Observers are attributing the declining PMI mostly to the phasing-out of traditional manufacturing, as well as bad weather, the air pollution controls put in around Beijing ahead of the parade, as well as low commodity prices.
Meanwhile, the service sector is also showing signs of cooling.
However, the PMI for the non-manufacturing sector still remains62 well above the 50-level, even though it dipped half-a-percent to 53.4 in August from 53.9 in July.
He Weiwen with the Chongyang Institute for Financial Studies at Renmin University says part of the slight decline can be put on the volatility63 of the Chinese stock markets.
"I think the important factor is the performance of the financial sector. The stock market performance in the first half of this year was exceptionally well so this upgraded the growth rate of GDP by half a percentage point for the first half of this year. But since the stock market bust64 in the previous two months, the non-manufacturing sector thus performed badly."The Chinese stock market began their decline in mid-June after a bullish first-half.
To shore up the market, China's central bank last week cut its benchmark interest rates for the fifth time since November.
In the latest move, the government is encouraging listed companies to merge66 and restructure, pay cash dividends67, and buy back their own shares in an effort to encourage investors68 to hold stocks for the long term.
He Weiwen says more stimulus69 measures may still be needed to promote structural70 reforms, rather than simply bailing71 out the markets in the short-term.
"All the measures regarding the fiscal72 and monetary73 are not enough, as has been proved in the past few months. So the government will continue to push up the real economy the development, to encourage the mass innovation and to encourage the development of the hi-tech industry and so on."China's GDP expanded 7-percent year on year in the first half of this year.
This is still in-line with the Chinese government's full-year target of 'around' 7-percent.
Both the IMF and Goldman Sachs are predicting full-year growth in China to come in at around 6.8-percent.

A main suspect of deadly Thai bombing nabbedAnchorThai police have announced the arrest of a 2nd foreign suspect in connection last month's deadly bombing in Bangkok which left 20 dead, including 7 Chinese nationals.
CRI's Poornima Weerasekara has more.
ReporterThe male suspect was arrested at a border-crossing with Cambodia while trying to cross the border.
Thai Police spokesperson Prawuth Thavornsiri is describing the man as "a main suspect.""At this early stage all evidence confirms that he is a main suspect in the same gang as the suspect we arrested earlier. And he is also one of the people who brought the bomb to the target sites; both sites."Another foreign national is currently being held after being arrested in Bangkok on Saturday.
Both are considered suspects in the blast at the popular Erawan Hindu shrine74 in Bangkok just over 2-weeks ago that left 20 people dead, including 7 Chinese nationals.
Thai authorities have been interrogating75 the suspect arrested this past weekend, describing him only as a 28-year-old man.
They have yet to release his name or nationality.
Thai authorities say bomb-making materials and over 200 forged passports were found at the apartment where he was detained in the outskirts76 of Bangkok.
But, at this point, it is unclear whether either of the two arrested men is the suspect seen on a close circuit security camera leaving a backpack at the shrine just minutes before the blast on August 17th.
Police also raided another apartment in the outskirts of Bangkok on Sunday where they found more bomb-making materials.
Thai Military spokesperson Pareya Netrawichien says Thai authorities have now issued a total of seven arrest warrants.
"The court has issued arrest warrants for the four suspects namely, one, a man in yellow shirt who may have been involved in the Ratchaprasong incident; two, a man in blue shirt who may be related to the incident at Sathorn pier77; three, a man as seen in the sketch78 who has been seen to have stayed in a rental79 room in Minburi area. The officials have found explosive components81 and equipment in his room. Four, Miss Wanna Suansan, who signed rental contracts for several rooms in Minburi area, the man in the sketch has stayed in one of those rooms."But a female suspect who identified herself as a 26-year-old Thai Muslim woman Wanna Suansan had since contacted Thai authorities to give a statement.
Also on Tuesday, Thai police transferred 16 men - including senior officers - from their posts in Bangkok districts amid accusations82 of negligence83.
The immigration chief and five others have also been transferred from their posts in Sa Kaeo, near the Cambodian border, where Tuesday's arrest took place.
The motive84 behind the August 17th bombing - unprecedented85 in its scale in Thai history - is still unknown.
For CRI I'm Poornima WeerasekaraRussian FM: talks planned on UkraineRussian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov has revealed tentative plans for a meeting with his European and Ukrainian counterparts in the coming days to discuss the situation in eastern Ukraine.
Lavrov's comments follow on the heels of clashes among nationalist protesters and police outside the Ukrainian parliament in Kiev on Monday.
"During a phone conversation between our president and Ukraine's president Petro Poroshenko, and later with the president of France, Francois Hollande, and Chancellor86 of Germany, Angela Merkel, we suggested holding a meeting of the foreign ministers of Russia, Ukraine, France and Germany in the Normandy format5 in the next 10-12 days in order to bring attention to the problem of negotiability among all the participants of the Minsk agreements and find ways to overcome the obstacles that have risen on their way."Monday's violence saw 3 national guards killed and more than 140 others injured.
The protesters were demanding lawmakers reject amendments88 to the country's constitution, which is giving more autonomy the eastern regions of Ukraine, where rebels have been waging an insurgency89 over the past year.
The decentralization of power is a condition demanded by Russia for the Minsk Accords signed in February.
Ukrainian nationalists say they believe the move to give more autonomy to eastern Ukraine will threaten the country's sovereignty and independence.
S. Africa: Zuma impeachment90 bid fails in parliamentAn opposition91 bid to have South African President Jacob Zuma impeached92 has failed.
Opposition parties in the country's parliament had attempted to set up a committee to investigate Zuma's involvement in allowing Sudanese President Omar al-Bashir to leave the country after the courts in South Africa order he be held on War Crimes.
Democratic Alliance Party leader Mmusi Maimane led the charge against Zuma in parliament.
"This government has officially abandoned Nelson Mandela's commitment to a human rights-based foreign policy on the 15th of June. That was the day Omar Al Bashir was smuggled93 away from South African soil in defiance94 of an order of the North Gauteng High Court. It was an escape aided and abetted95 by President Jacob Zuma himself."The parliament, controlled by members of Zuma's African National Congress, easily shot down the call for impeachment.

IMF warns emerging economies must be vigilant106 on China's slowdownIMF managing director Christine Lagarde has issued a new warning to the world's emerging economies, suggesting they need to pay close attention to the economic situation taking place in China.
The International Monetary Fund is suggesting a number of emerging markets, including Indonesia and Brazil, have begun to feel the effects of China's economic restructuring.
Lagarde says these countries need to adjust their economic modeling accordingly.
"As the Chinese economy is adjusting to a new growth model, growth is slowing down. We don't believe that growth is slowing sharply, as is often indicated in various journals or by various commentators107, but it will slow down. We don't believe that it is unexpected."At the same time, the IMF is warning global growth this year will be "likely weaker" than previously108 anticipated.

Global tech battle comes to Berlin's IFA tech fairAnchorChinese firm Huawei, as well as Sony, are due to unveil new smartphone models this week at a trade show in Berlin.
At the same time, Samsung is unveiling a new smartwatch at this year's IFA event, which observers suggest is the company's latest shot at Apple's dominance.
CRI's Guo Yan has more.
ReporterIFA - Berlin's annual consumer electronics trade fair, opens to the public on the 4th September, but on the 2nd of September, companies like Sony and Huawei will hold major events to debut112 their latest flagship smartphones.
Amir Tamannai is the lead editor of tech news website GIGA.
He previews some interesting highlights of the upcoming event.
"Well, first of all Huawei will go and throw some interesting new devices and competitively priced devices again to European and International markets. That will be, maybe, the most interesting thing to see at IFA. Sony will present their line-up of new smartphones consisting of the Xperia Z5 and the Xperia Z5 compact, also two very interesting smartphones."In total, almost 1,500 companies from around 50 countries will fill this exhibition space over the course of a week.
In previous years, Samsung has used the event to unveil the latest edition of its smartphone-tablet, or phablet, range.
But this year, the South Korean electronics giant opted113 for a separate event a month earlier in New York this August.
"Samsung decided this year to come out early with their phablets and by this to gain market advantage because this way their device is not only presented, but also on sale even before Apple has launched their own phablet."According to the International Data Corporation (IDC) which tracks worldwide smartphone sales, Samsung recently saw its share of the worldwide smartphone market shrink from 30 percent in the first quarter of 2014 to 24 percent in the first quarter of 2015 while Apple increased its share from 15 percent to 18percent.
Volker Briegleb, news editor of technology news website Heise Online says it's not just Apple the South Korean tech maker87 should be wary114 of.
"Apple is not so much the real threat to Samsung, they have always had their own niche115. Samsung clearly has to watch the young Chinese android manufacturers like Oppo or One Plus or Xiaomi."While Samsung isn't expected to unveil a new smartphone at this year's IFA event, the company will officially launch its latest Smartwatch at a major event on September 3.
Some features of the device have already been leaked.
Shu On Kwok, senior editor of technology news website AndroidPit says it appears Samsung is aiming to rival Apple's wearable smartwatch.
"The Gear S2 will deliver the design of a normal watch, Samsung will not use Google's Android wear platform - their software - they are using their own Tizen OS."He notes that some features of the product look like Apple watch, adding that they are not giving up in competing with Apple.
The IFA consumer electronics trade show runs from September 4th to 9th.

Obama to tape episode of 'Running Wild With Bear Grylls' during Alaska visitJust when you think American politics cannot get any weirder137, the White House announced that Barack Obama will trek138 through the Alaskan wilderness139 with Bear Grylls for an upcoming episode of Running Wild with Bear Grylls.
It sounds like an Onion spoof140, or perhaps Sarah Palin's worst nightmare, but on Tuesday the US president is due to receive wilderness survival training from the British television adventurer to raise awareness141 about climate change.
Obama is currently on a three-day visit to Alaska and will team up with Grylls on Exit glacier142 in the Kenai mountains.
The episode will air on NBC later this year.
Grylls, who originally rose to international fame through his first television series "Man vs. Wild," has used his latest program to teach various celebrities143 survival skills to get by in the wild.
With Donald Trump144 dominating headlines, and a Republican-controlled Congress determined to make Obama a lame-duck president, teaming up with Grylls is expected to help the president grab headlines. And maybe teach him how to skin something for dinner.
