BEIJING Jordan 10 Shoes For Sale , April 24 (Xinhua) -- U.S. President Barack Obama sits down with Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe on Thursday for a summit widely expected to see the guest reassure its alliance with the host.
But the pomp and circumstance Obama receives as the first U.S. president to visit Japan as a state guest since Bill Clinton in 1996 cannot conceal the fact that Tokyo has become a growing liability to Washington's pursuit of long-term interests.
Increasingly flagrant on historical issues, assertive on territorial disputes and defiant of U.S. advice, Japan is hijacking its alliance with the United States and Washington's "rebalancing to Asia" policy to serve its own agenda.
Among these historical spats arising from Japan's war-time atrocities, 70 year ago in WWII Jordan 12 Shoes For Sale , Japanese politicians are still frequenting the controversial Yasukuni Shrine.
After receiving Abe's ritual offering on Monday, the shrine -- honoring 14 Class-A WWII criminals alongside the country's war dead -- was visited by 146 Japanese lawmakers en masse one day later.
Not seeming to have the least intention of soothing the U.S.' "disappointment" or the outcry from neighboring countries over the visit, Abe has dismissed the idea of building a new memorial to replace the shrine, which he deliberately understated as a "venue for mourning."
The Asian status quo has also been severely challenged lately by Japan blatantly claiming sovereignty of China's Diaoyu Islands Jordan 11 Shoes For Sale , and military flexing by breaking ground on a radar station on the western Yonaguni island Saturday -- a move that enables Japan to expand surveillance to near the Chinese mainland.
The Abe administration, more assertive about autonomy and less apologetic about the country's villainous past than predecessors, has become nothing but a negative asset to Obama's Asia rebalancing blueprint.
With all these dangerous and defiant moves, Japan's relations with almost all its neighbors and regional heavyweights have been soured Jordan 1 Shoes For Sale , which by no means fits the U.S. strategic interests in the region.
For all these consequences, Tokyo should be fully accountable. Capricious and indocile as they are, the country's right-wing politicians should be reined in by Obama during his trip.
Also, the U.S. should reconsider the attempt to promise the protection of Japanese land in exchange for Tokyo's concession in the ongoing Trans-Pacific Partnership Agreement Jordan Shoes For Sale , which will further embolden Tokyo's recklessness in challenging regional peace and stability.
Obama is almost sure to walk a tightrope during his tour, since on the one hand he has to retain the thorny relations with a trouble-making ally, while on the other he has to appease other Asian nations. This includes key regional partners like South Korea, which have complained about U.S. acquiescence to the crotchety and defiant Japanese government.
Also Jordan 10 For Sale , before giving any commitment to Japan, Obama should be mindful of China's core national interests, which he has promised to respect when outlining the "new type of major-country relations" with his Chinese counterpart Xi Jinping last June.
It's time for Washington policy-makers to realize that in an age of closer Sino-U.S cooperation, Tokyo's geopolitical significance in the region will be further reduced.
MANILA Jordan 12 For Sale , Nov. 26 (Xinhua) -- Philipine boxing hero Manny Pacquiao said Tuesday that all his domestic bank accounts had been frozen over allegations of unpaid taxes from lucrative fights in the United States.
"This is harassment," the former eight-division world champion said in an interview.
The shock announcement came just two days after Pacquiao, 34, resurrected his boxing career with a unanimous points decision win over American Brandon Rios in Macao of China.
Pacquiao said the tax office took the action because it believed he had evaded paying taxes on his fights in the United States in 2008 and 2009 when he was at the peak of his career and earning tens of millions of dollars.
He said he had broken no laws because he had already paid taxes on those earnings in the United States Jordan 11 For Sale , which has a treaty with the Philippines that allows citizens of both countries avoid double taxation.
"I am not a criminal or a thief. I am not hiding anything. I will face my problems as they come," Pacquiao said.
The Philippine tax bureau confirmed the local bank accounts of Pacquiao and his wife, Jinkee, had been frozen.
The Pacquiaos have asked the Court of Tax Appeals to lift the bank freeze Jordan 1 For Sale , but the court has yet to rule on the couple's petition, according to court papers released to the media.
RAMALLAH, Sept. 28 (Xinhua) -- Palestinian Foreign Affairs Minister Riad Malki said on Thursday that the Palestinian leadership would not accept any U.S.-backed peace arrangement that would undermine the rights of the Palestinian people.
Malki made the remarks ahead of a meeting between the U.S. President Peace Envoy Jason Greenblatt and Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas in West Bank city of Ramallah.

Trump informed both Abbas and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu during separate meetings on the sidelines of the UN General Assembly meetings in New York earlier in September that the U.S. administration was working on a new peace initiative, but still needs time to formalize it.
