BEIJING -- Beijing has invested four billion yuan (about $588 million) to build a new wholesale produce market in its southeastern suburbs. The new market will complement Xinfadi, the capital's largest produce market, located in southern Beijing. Beijing has 53,000 hectares of grain, 46,000 hectares of vegetables and 66,000 hectares of fruit, said Kang Sen, an official of the rural work committee under the municipal committee of the Communist Party of China. "The most important aim of the markets is to ensure there is enough food for the residents of Beijing," said Kang, adding some companies have built production and logistical bases surrounding the capital. Renovation is also underway at Xinfadi, which supplies 70 percent of Beijing's vegetables. create your own wristbandrainbow wristbandcustom wristbands no minimumrubber bracelets custom cheapflash drive wristband
TOKYO - Prime Minister Shinzo Abe wants to accelerate plans to amend Japan's pacifist constitution, saying he expects to submit a proposed revision to lawmakers before the end of the year, media reported on Sunday. Abe said in a speech in Kobe city on Saturday he planned to submit a proposal for the first amendment of Japan's post-World War II constitution during an extraordinary session of parliament that will be convened later this year, Japan's main daily newspapers reported. Abe has proposed amending the constitution's war-renouncing Article 9 by 2020 to officially recognize Japan's Self-Defense Forces as its military. Such a change could draw fire from China and South Korea, where bitter memories of Japan's past military aggression persist. They would likely see the change as a step toward the re-emergence of Japan as a military power. Abe would need to win the support of two-thirds of members of both houses of parliament and a majority of votes in a referendum. Reuters (China Daily 06/26/2017 page11)
