BEIJING Nike Air Force One Low Mens Silver Black On Sale , May 5 (Xinhua) -- China made indelible contributions to the World Anti-Fascist War as it held back Japanese aggression at tremendous costs, overseas historians and experts have said.

As this year marks the 70th anniversary of the victory of the World Anti-Fascist War, China's contributions and sacrifices have been increasingly recognized by the international community.

China's War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression between 1937 and 1945 was an essential part of the World Anti-Fascist War, said Kim Joo-yong, a research fellow with the Institute of Korean Independence Movement Studies.

Kim blasted Japan for its reluctance to apologize for its wartime atrocities in WWII.

Without China's resistance that held back at least 600 Cheap Nike Air Force One Low Mens White ,000 troops of the Japanese army, the situation would have been much harder for the Western allies in the Asian front, Rana Mitter, director of Oxford University's China Center, told Xinhua.

In most time of the WWII Nike Air Force One Low Womens Pink Cheap , China was the only serious force of resistance against Japan in East and Southeast Asia, preventing Japan from diverting its resources and therefore warfare to other regions, said Mitter.

Noting that China won its place as a permanent member of the UN Security Council because of its contributions in WWII, Mitter called for more Westerners to know more about China's wartime history as China enjoys growing global influence in today's world.

Sergei Lousianin, deputy director of Russia's Far East Institute Nike Air Force One Low Mens White Blue On Sale , said China's role in WWII has been long underestimated from a traditional Europe-centric historical perspective.

China, as a matter of fact, became the first member of the anti-Fascist international coalition as early as 1937, Lousianin said. "Among the coalition members, China's participation was the longest."

Another Russian expert Nike Air Force One Mid Mens White Red Cheap , Yuri Chudodeev from Moscow-based Institute of Oriental Studies, agreed that WWII actually began in Asia when Lugou Bridge, also known as the Marco Polo Bridge, a crucial access point to Beijing, was attacked by Japanese troops in 1937 rather than in Europe with Germany's invasion of Poland in 1939.

Chudodeev also noted that little attention has been put to China's sacrifices during the war.

"Historians say much about genocide of Jews and Armenians Discount Womens Nike Air Force One High Blue , but they mention little about genocide of Chinese, the Nanking Massacre in particular," said Chudodeev.

In December 1937, Japanese troops captured Nanking (Nanjing), then China's capital Clearance Womens Nike Air Force One High Red , and started a 40-odd-day slaughter. More than 300,000 Chinese, including soldiers who had laid down their arms, were killed and over 20,000 women were raped.

Lester Tenney Mens Nike Air Force One High Supreme Red White On Sale , a 94-year-old WWII veteran who was invited as a guest of Congressman Mike Honda at Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe's speech to a joint meeting of Congress on April 29, urged Tokyo to reflect its heinous acts during WWII and draw a lesson from it.

"The grandfathers of young Japanese do not talk about it, so the young people don't know what happened," said Tenney.

"We have to let the young people know the history. The only way we can correct it is by knowing it," he added.

SAO PAULO Mens Nike Air Force One High Supreme White Black Cheap , Nov. 19 (Xinhua) -- Ferrari team boss Stefano Domenicali has urged Felipe Massa to find a "little bit extra" in a bid to win Sunday's season-ending Brazilian Grand Prix in front of his home fans.

The race at Sao Paulo's Interlagos circuit will also be Massa's final appearance for the Italian team before his move to Williams next year.

"I am certain that Felipe will give his all to finish his time with Ferrari in the best way possible," Domenicali said on Tuesday.

"He is going to find that little extra to improve his performance."

Massa is currently eighth in the drivers' championship standings with 106 points, 266 points behind leader Sebastian Vettel.

The 32-year-old's last Grand Prix victory was in the corresponding race in 2008.

"He has always done well on this track, where the warmth of the fans are going to provide him with even more motivation," Domenicali said. "It is going to be an emotional weekend for everybody."

WASHINGTON， Dec. 6 (Xinhua) -- U.S. researchers said Tuesday they have designed a small galago-inspired robot with the highest robotic vertical jumping agility ever recorded.

The robot， known as saltatorial locomotion on terrain obstacles， or Salto， can leap into the air and then hit a wall to make a second jump or perform multiple vertical jumps in a row， according to the study published in the debut edition of the U.S. journal Science Robotics.

Salto weighs 100 grams， is 26 centimeters tall when fully extended， and can jump up to one meter. Scientists hoped it can one day be used to jump around rubble in search and rescue missions.

To build the robot， researchers at the University of California (UC) Berkeley studied the animal kingdom's most vertically agile creature， the galago， which can jump five times in just four seconds to gain a combined height of 8.5 meters.

The galago has a special ability to store energy in its tendons， a phenomenon called "power modulation，" so that it can jump to heights not achievable by its muscles alone.

The researchers adapted this process to Salto， offering its single leg a mechanical advantage that allows the leg's motor to store energy in a spring at the beginning of the jump and then release it at a higher power during subsequent motion.

Then， they measured Salto's power modulation with a new metric they devised called "vertical jumping agility，" which is defined as the ratio of the maximum jump height to the time it takes to complete one jump.

Salto was able to jump to a height of one meter in 0.58 seconds， indicating it has a vertical jumping ability of 1.75 meters per second， which is higher than the vertical jumping agility of a bullfrog (1.71 meters per second). Cheap Authentic Jerseys   Cheap Jerseys Free Shipping   Cheap Retro Jerseys   Cheap Retro Jerseys   Cheap NHL Jerseys China   Cheap NFL Jerseys   Cheap Jerseys China Free Shipping   Cheap Jerseys China Wholesale   Cheap Basketball Jerseys   Wholesale MLB Jerseys
