(NSI News Source Info) TORONTO, Canada - December 31, 2012: Celebrations are being held around the world to mark the new year, with the city of Auckland in New Zealand holding the first major events of 2013.


Crowds began to gather on Monday evening in Sydney in anticipation of the city’s famous firework display.

Big shows are also planned in many other cities globally.

Celebrations will also be held for the first time in Burma, where large public gatherings were banned by its previous military rulers.

Tens of thousands are expected to attend the celebrations in Rangoon, which will feature a fireworks display and performances by Burmese entertainers.

Reports say the festivities will be broadcast live on Burmese television.

The celebration is seen as the latest sign of the country’s liberalisation under its military-backed civilian government.

However, there is a subdued atmosphere in the Indian capital Delhi, following the death last week of a 23-year-old victim of a brutal gang rape.

The army has cancelled its celebrations across the country, as have the governments in the states of Punjab and Haryana.

Thousands of residents and clubs have also called off new year celebrations. protests over the case continued on Monday.

Later on, festivities will be held in European cities including Moscow, Paris and London.

More than two million people are expected to be on Rio de Janeiro’s Copacabana beach.

New York will mark the new year with the traditional New Year’s Eve countdown and ball drop over Times Square.

DTN News - SPECIAL REPORT: New Hong Kong Rail Terminal 2015 Will Be The World's Largest Underground Railway Station

Defense News: DTN News - SPECIAL REPORT: New Hong Kong Rail Terminal 2015  Will Be The World's Largest Underground Railway Station
Source: DTN News - - This article compiled by Roger Smith from reliable sources
(NSI News Source Info) TORONTO, Canada - December 25, 2012: This new Beijing-HK line ending in West Kowloon will be the world's largest underground railway station.




The Beijing–Guangzhou–Shenzhen–Hong Kong High-Speed Line or Jingguangshengang High-Speed Railway from its Chinese name (simplified Chinese: 京广深港高速铁路; traditional Chinese: 京廣深港高速鐵路) is a high-speed railway of the CRH passenger service, ultimately connecting Beijing West Railway Station and West Kowloon Station in Hongkong. When finished, it will be 2230 km long. The existing, conventional Jingguang railway runs largely parallel to the line.

Construction was started in 2005, and as of 2012, the Wuhan–Guangzhou section was opened in December 2009, the Guangzhou–Shenzhen section was opened in December 2011, the Zhengzhou–Wuhan section was opened in September 2012, the Beijing–Zhengzhou section was opened on December 26, 2012, and the 36-km Shenzhen–Hong Kong section will be opened in 2015.

Rising 148 feet high above the surroundings, the structure's roof line acts as dynamic-shaped pedestrian trails alongside green spaces.  This park/terminal hybrid fabricates a promised view of  the future.

DTN News - DISPUTED EAST CHINA SEA REGION SENKAKU / DIAOYU ISLANDS: Japan Accuses China of Violating Airspace

Defense News: DTN News - DISPUTED EAST CHINA SEA REGION SENKAKU / DIAOYU ISLANDS: Japan Accuses China of Violating Airspace
• The islands, known as Senkaku in Japan and Diaoyu in China, have been a long-standing source of territorial dispute.
• The purchase of the islands by the Japanese government earlier this year from private Japanese owners set off massive anti-Japanese rallies in China.
• China and Japan account for almost one-fifth of global GDP. Their two-way trade exceeds more than $340 billion a year

(NSI News Source Info) SINGAPORE - December 14, 2012: Japan has accused China of violating its airspace for the first time after a Chinese plane flew near the East China Sea islands claimed by both.

Japan scrambled fighter jets after the plane was seen around 11:00 local time (02:00 GMT) near one of the islands, spokesman Osamu Fujimura said.

Japan lodged an immediate protest with Beijing, he said.

The islands, known as Senkaku in Japan and Diaoyu in China, have been a long-standing source of territorial dispute.

Beijing said its Chinese Oceanic Administration plane was carrying out a normal operation.
Japan's Defense Agency said four F-15 jets headed to the area Thursday morning, but the Chinese plane, a Y-12, a nonmilitary type of aircraft, had flown off by the time they got there.

The purchase of the islands by the Japanese government earlier this year from private Japanese owners set off massive anti-Japanese rallies in China.


"I want to stress that these activities are completely normal. The Diaoyu and its affiliated islands are China's inherent territory since ancient times," Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesman Hong Lei said of the plane. "China requires the Japanese side to stop illegal activities in the waters and airspace of the Diaoyu islands."

Japanese Coast Guard vessels have engaged in cat and mouse games with the Chinese ships, with both sides broadcasting messages to one another saying they have territorial sovereignty over the area.

Chief Cabinet Secretary Osamu Fujimura said the Chinese plane's entry into the area was "extremely regrettable" and that Japan has lodged a protest with the Chinese government through diplomatic channels.

It was the first time a Chinese plane entered Japanese air space over the disputed islands.
U.S. Assistant Secretary of State Kurt Campbell, while noting he did not yet know the specifics of the latest incident, urged calm. He added that the U.S. does not "take a position on the sovereignty of these islands."

"The security treaty between the United States and Japan applies to any provocative set of circumstances," he told reporters at the U.S. Embassy in Kuala Lumpur during an Asian tour. "We are encouraging all sides to take appropriate steps so that there will be no misunderstanding or miscalculation that could trigger an environment that would be antithetical to peace and stability."

In September, the Japanese government's nationalization of the Senkaku Islands triggered a series of violent demonstrations that targeted Japanese business and diplomatic establishments in many Chinese cities.

The diplomatic war of words between government leaders at the United Nations has since been replaced by a chill in top-level contacts. The repeated intrusion of Chinese vessels in the waters around the Senkakus has led to maritime tensions.

China and Japan account for almost one-fifth of global GDP. Their two-way trade exceeds more than $340 billion a year. China accounts for 19.7 per cent of Japanese exports. Anti-Japanese rioting across China has affected Japanese car exports to China, which is down 70 per cent, while Chinese tourist numbers have fallen 70 per cent.
