China’s participation in the Global Market Forum during the upcoming Bookexpo America will provide the American public with more access to understand it nike air max 90 white online , Chinese Consul General to New York Zhang Qiyue said on May 26.


Zhang said at the Welcome Ceremony held at the Asia Society Garden Court that she noticed "a very strong interest from the US to learn more about China".


Wu Shangzhi, Vice-minister of the State Administration of Press, Publication, Radio, Film and Television, agreed and said the series of events is an important cultural exchange between the two countries, which celebrate 36 years of diplomatic ties this year.


Bookexpo America is one of the major events of the global publishing industry. The 2015 BEA features China as the guest of honor for the first time.


"United States and China are close trading partners and China imports the most titles from the US," Wu said.


He added that about 500 publishing professionals, joined by 25 celebrated Chinese writers, will bring 10,000 English titles to the book gathering. More than 130 cultural events will be held, together with 6 exhibitions on film and ancient culture.


"I believe the writers and publishers here will have better stories about China to tell," Zhang said.


Steve Rosato, BEA’s event manager has been working with the Chinese side for the GMF since 2011.


"We’ve been climbing the mountain this far, now it’s time to enjoy the view," Rosato said.


He told China Daily in a previous interview that "selecting China was an easy decision as there is a great dynamic between China and the United States as well as China’s continued growth as an economic power".


"There is great opportunity for both the US and the Chinese publishing industries that will allow for both sides to reap great benefits, resulting in a win-win situation for the publishing industries in both countries", he added.


Days before the BEA officially kicked off, US bookstores and online sellers like Amazon offered a taste of China in various ways.


The Barnes & Noble, UMS on the Broadway arranged a special zone for the English versions of Chinese titles, both fiction and non-fiction, on its first floor. And new books, including that of President Xi Jinping’s The Governance of China, are displayed in the window along the street.


"We set up the special area to honor China’s BEA involvement," said Paul Trinidad, a manager with Barnes & Noble.


More Chinese titles, ranging from the latest translation of Mai Jia’s novel Decoded to Chinese tea are displayed there from May 10 to June 10.


Amazon is also doing a two-month special sale for China-themed books from May 1 to June 30.


"Barnes & Noble’s selection of Chinese titles for the special area shows that Chinese books have an increasing appeal for its English readers," Vice-minister Wu said.

TOKYO, June 10 (Xinhua) -- Much has been written and said of late about Prime Minister Shinzo Abe's bellicose moves to recast and normalize the nation's military and allow forces here a borderless rein to engage in global conflicts, be it preemptively or defensively, deemed to compromise Japan's security, national interests or those of its allies.


The Japanese leader has come under fire for almost whimsically making unilateral decisions on the future of Japan's security policy, particularly pertaining to what he describes as an " increasingly severe situation in the East Asian region" -- a turn of phrase Abe believes gives him carte blanche to act autonomously whenever he utters it -- and for bypassing legislative charters as fundamental and basic as the nation's own Constitution and parliamentary edicts that exist to protect the public from such over zealous monocrats.


Indeed, the list of Abe's political shortcuts taken to effectively reverse seven decades of adherence to a chartered pacifist ideology and fire up Japan's old militaristic war machine, is as lengthy as it is injudicious, at least in the eyes of the Japanese people he purports to and has sworn to serve yet merely spurns on his way to writing the future annals of his own history, as one of Japan's most influential, albeit jingoistic leaders.


But for Abe and his clique of likeminded ultra-nationalists, personal egos and legacies aside, there is an old driving force, once thought stamped out at the end of World War II, that is once again heavily influencing today's neo-nationalistic politics and trying to broaden its reach into mainstream society in a bid to create a "new dawn" for Japan; a utopia in which losing WWII is a fallacy and hence apologies to those brutalized needless; one which sees Japanese people elevated to being a superior race in the world with such an ideology being strongly perpetuated though educational and media indoctrination, among others.


"Prime Minister Shinzo Abe... has always wanted to revise three of the country's basic modern charters: the 1946 Constitution, the education law, which undervalues patriotism, and the nation's security treaty with the United States. The Emperor would be returned to a more prominent place in Japanese society. The special status of Yasukuni Shrine, which enshrines most of Japan's war dead, including the men who led the nation to disaster between 1933 and 1945, would be restored," said David McNeill, an internationally-renown political pundit and lecturer at Sophia University in Tokyo, in a recent editorial on the matter.


The controversial Yasukuni Shrine, while honoring hundreds of thousands of war dead also enshrines the souls of 14 Class-A war criminals including Iwane Ma
