2014年CRI 习近平主席出席七七事变纪念活动 中德签署多项协议扩大务实合作

 

Chinese President Xi Jinping has taken the opportunity to criticize those in Japan who would white-wash the history of Japanese aggression¹ during its invasion of China.

The President's comments have been made at a ceremony commemorating² the start of the full-scale Japanese invasion of China.

As part of his speech yesterday, Xi Jinping says that despite what happened in the past, there are still people out there who want to defy or beautify what happened following the invasion.

Xi Jinping led a ceremony at the Marco Polo bridge in southwest Beijing to commorate the 77th anniversary of the start of the War Against Japanese Aggression.

Japan's full-scale assault into China began on July 7th, 1937 following a shooting incident at the Marco Polo Bridge.

Chinese Premier³ Li Keqiang and visiting German Chancellor⁴ Angela Merkel have overseen⁵ the signing of a number of business deals as part of her time here in Beijing.

Following their talks, the two have announced that China will allow Germans to invest up to 80 billion yuan, or around 13 billion US dollars, in China's stock exchanges through the Renminbi Qualified⁶ Foreign Institutional Investor⁷ scheme.

The move is meant to help bolster⁸ the struggling stock markets and further internationalize the renminbi.

Other deals include three Chinese aviation firms to purchase 123 Airbus helicopters.

German auto⁹ giant Volkswagen has also announced it is going to build two new plants in China in a deal worth some 2-billion euros.
