| Demo marks September 18 anniversary |
勿忘“九·一八” |
| Around 100 demonstrators braved rain to demonstrate outside the Japanese embassy in Beijing on the 79th anniversary of the September 18 Incident of 1931. The mainly youthful protesters sang the Chinese national anthem and shouted slogans calling for the release of fishing boat captain Zhan Qixiong who was detained by Japanese coastguards off the Diaoyu islands 10 days ago. Demonstrations also took place today in Shanghai, Shenyang and several other cities around China. As part of routine commemorative activities, sirens wailed in many cities Saturday morning, including Xi'an, Changchun and Chengdu. |

| On September 18 1931, a section of track on the Japanese-owned South Manchuria Railway was dynamited by Japanese militarists. Blaming the incident on Chinese saboteurs, the Japanese laid siege to the city of Mukden (now called Shenyang). By 1932 Japan had established the puppet state of Manchukuo in China's northeast, and in 1937 began a full-scale invasion of China. |
1931年9月18日，日軍將南滿鐵路一段路軌炸毀，稱是中國(guó)軍隊(duì)破壞，隨即日軍便包圍了奉天（現(xiàn)為沈陽(yáng)）。到1932年，日本在中國(guó)東北建立了滿洲里傀儡政權(quán)，從1937年起對(duì)中國(guó)發(fā)動(dòng)全面侵略。 |
| Companies fight for rice |
外資爭(zhēng)購(gòu)中國(guó)大米 |
| With still a month to go until autumn's rice harvest, food magnates are ready to put up a purchase fight, the China Business Journal reports. Yihai Kerry, a Singapore owned enterprise in China, is building a rice production base in Jiangxi Province, a major grain production area. The base will purchase 350,000 tons of unhulled rice a year and has an annual output of 200,000 tons, which will put into use this December. To compete with COFCO, a leading Chinese state-owned food giant, it raised purchase prices and poached several members of COFCO's management staff with premium salaries. Although COFCO had signed supply contracts with local suppliers, it still feels uneasy about the situation, according to a source from the purchase department. COFCO has added more stations to collect rice. Yihai Kerry own several famous brands such as Arawana, Koufu, Wonder Farm and Orchid. |
