The US President lays a wreath at the national veterans' cemetery as the nation pays tribute to its fallen soldiers.President Barack Obama has paid his respects at the Tomb of the Unknowns at Arlington National Cemetery as the nation marks Memorial Day. Marines stood at attention along the road as the President rode by motorcade from the White House. He then placed a wreath at the tomb as the US national anthem was played. Speaking afterwards, he said that Americans must honour the sacrifices of their service personnel, particularly at a time when the US combat role in Iraq has ended and the country's involvement in Afghanistan is winding down. He added: "Let us never forget that the nation is still at war." Americans gather at cemeteries, memorials and monuments to honour those fallen in military service on May 27. The public holiday comes as the war in Afghanistan approaches 12 years and the ranks of World War II veterans dwindle. Before the president travels across the Potomac River from Washington to the national veterans' cemetery, he and First Lady Michelle Obama hosted a breakfast at the White House with Gold Star families of service members who have been killed. In one of several ceremonies honouring Americans killed in Afghanistan, the city of South Sioux City, Nebraska, planned to unveil a statue honouring Navy Petty Officer 1st Class John Douangdara, a dog handler for the SEALs killed in a 2011 helicopter crash. His service dog was also killed in the crash and is remembered beside him in the statue. The day is also marked in Moore, the Oklahoma town devastated by a powerful tornado that killed 24 people and destroyed thousands of homes. Another wreath-laying ceremony takes place at Franklin D. Roosevelt Four Freedoms Park on the southern tip of Roosevelt Island in New York City. The park is a tribute to President Roosevelt's famous speech calling for all people to enjoy freedom of speech, freedom of worship, freedom from want and freedom from fear.

Follow us on TWITTER: http://twitter.com/cnforbiddennews Like us on FACEBOOK: http://www.facebook.com/chinaforbiddennews Chinese Premier Li Keqiang met with German Chancellor Angela Merkel yesterday in his first overseas visit to Germany as Premier. The two sides talked about EU trade disputes, human rights dialogue, the Iranian nuclear issue, the Syrian crisis and so forth. Li Keqiang opposed "decisively" with EU's anti-dumping & anti-subsidy case against China's solar panels & wireless equipment. He anticipated Germany's position of power over EU issues. On the 26th, Li Keqiang talked to German Chancellor Angela Merkel at the Chancellery. The talks focused on the trade row between the EU and China. The BBC reported that, the European Commission will investigate into the solar panels and wireless equipment from China & levy tariffs on these products. Starting from June 6, Chinese solar panels will face an average of 47% in duties. Li Keqiang said this decision will hurt both China and Europe. He anticipated Germans position of power, pushing for talks between China and the EU, thus resolving a likely trade war. Political commentator Wu Fan: "China has dumped many products on to the US, from steel pipes, tires, paper board plates, printing plates, subsequently meeting tariffs. Dumping occurs when the price was subsidized by the government. Export enjoys a 17% rebate in China. It is a business conducted with the power of the entire nation. Of course no other country will accept it. The tariffs came with a reason." Reuters reported, EU decided to impose duties on Chinese panel makers. Beijing responded with the announcement from the Ministry of Commerce, imports of seamless steel from the EU, U.S. and Japan are under investigation. Jason Ma, the NTD commentator, indicates that the Communist regime subsidizing panel makers has long been known by the international community. Jason Ma: "Denying the fact and threatening to retaliate is a rogue practice of the Communist regime. Business should be independent of the government. It is illegal to provide governmental subsidy in the US." Merkel reiterated, Germany opposes trade protectionism as a response for which might result in mutual tariffs. The German government thus pledged EU not to impose duties. Wu Fan: "Why did the Communist regime seek help from Germany this time? Why did the German Chancellor disagree with the tariffs? It's for the sake of business. China's solar panels are downstream products. The upstream raw materials and accessories come from two main regions, Germany and Japan." However, Jason Ma warns Germany may well soon lose all international support. Jason Ma: "She values export over the benefit of the international community. This type of short term interests Germany seeks, will soon lose ground with in the international arena." Merkel and Li Keqiang also oversaw the signing of 17 bilateral agreements, covering cooperation between companies, including Volksw en AG, SAIC Motor Corp., and BASF, according to Deutsche Welle. The two sides issued a press communiqué, stating both countries will continue emphasis of rule of law & protection of human rights, strengthening dialog and exchange on issues between the two countries. It was also reported that during the meeting of both premiers, overseas Tibetans and the Uighur organizations held a protest against Beijing's policy towards minorities outside the Chancellery. The demonstrators demanded the Merkel government to put pressure up on Beijing to improve the human rights issue. However, none of the human rights dialogue was revealed after the meeting. 《神韵》2013世界巡演新亮点 http://www.ShenYunPerformingArts.org/
