An expert from the Office of the Chinese Ministry of Foreign Affairs for Chemical Weapons Abandoned by Japan in China, and soldiers, pack bombs dug out at an excavation site of World War Two chemical weapons abandoned by Japan, in Ning'an, China's Heilongjiang province, July 5, 2006. The two countries disagree on the scale of corroding weapons left behind by Japan's army after the World War, with China saying there are 2 million shells to be dealt with, while Japan puts the figure in the hundreds of thousands.
