China is commemorating the 70th anniversary of the victory in the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression (1937-45) and World War II.

Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe did mention "colonial rule", "aggression", "profound self-reflection" and "apology" in his speech on Aug 14 to mark the 70th anniversary of Japan's surrender in World War II, but he avoided endorsing the words that former Japanese prime minister Tomiichi Murayama used in 1995 to own up to his country's war past that helped Japan win the trust of some of its Asian neighbors.
US President Barack Obama, British Prime Minister David Cameron, French President Francois Hollande, German Chancellor Angela Merkel and Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe should have been among the world leaders attending the parade in Beijing on Sept 3 to commemorate the 70th anniversary of the end of World War II, because, as influential leaders, they are expected to provide global leadership and safeguard peace and stability.

On Wednesday, the local commodity price bureau in Lanzhou, capital of the Northwest China's Gansu province, held a "flash mob-style" public hearing on the price of gas for domestic use, giving rise to doubts about its sincerity. Unsurprisingly, the hearing, which lasted for just over half an hour, passed the decision to raise the price of gas with few objections. Comments:
Photos of two traffic policemen in Handan, North China's Hebei province, kneeling beside an old woman who was begging them on her knees not to punish her son for drunken driving, recently went viral over the Chinese Internet. The policemen reportedly chose to go down on their knees to explain the penalty, in order to "clear unnecessary misunderstandings", according to the local police station. Comments:
