“Nanking,” a U.S.-made film documenting eyewitness accounts of atrocities committed by Japanese troops in China during World War Two, opened in Beijing on Tuesday, as the two countries struggle to mend strained ties.

China on Tuesday expressed the hope that Sino-Japanese ties should move headway as it staged activities marking the 70th anniversary of the War of Resistance against Japan.

The report was completed by the original investigation committee of China’s “comfort women” injury facts. The committee began its investigation last September and completed the first stage in March of this year.

Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesman Qin Gang said here Tuesday that developed countries should provide more funds and technological support to developing countries to help them address climate change.

The first report by the Investigative Committee on Former Chinese “Comfort Women”, co-founded by All China Lawyers’ Association (ACLA) and China Legal Aid Foundation, traced 17 more survivors besides the ones who have already sued the Japanese government.
