ABEâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s VISIT TO YASUKUNI SHRINE STOKES TENSION AND MISTRUST IN CHINA eijing refused the Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s request for an official meeting with his Chinese counterpart. Abe stoked tensions with his visit to the Yasukuni Shrine on December 26th, 2013. The shrine is widely viewed as a symbol of Japanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s past militarism, and the visit triggered strong protests from China and South Korea and the United States too expressed disappointment at the same. Chinaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Foreign Minister Wang Yi spoke scathingly of Abeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s visit and warned, â&#x20AC;&#x153;What Abe has done is leading Japan in a very dangerous direction.

MAOâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;S 120TH BIRTHDAY CELEBRATION resident Xi Jinping called for austere celebrations to mark the birthday of the great helmsman, Mao Zedong on December 26. His call is consistent with his push against lavish ceremonies and wasteful public spending. The celebrations did not highlight Maoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s central role in Chinaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s worst post-war tragedies: the Great Leap Forward and Cultural Revolution, in which millions died. The President pointed in his speech that â&#x20AC;&#x153;revolutionary leaders are not gods, but human beings.â&#x20AC;? He praised Mao as â&#x20AC;&#x153;a great figure who changed the face of the nation and led the Chinese people to a new destinyâ&#x20AC;?.

The small city of Pattanam, Kerala came under much limelight as both Indian and international archaeologistsstarted speculating that it may have served as the missing trade link, then known as â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Muzirisâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;, between India and the Roman Empire between 1st Century BC and 1st Century AD. Evidences of Roman artefacts have EHHQ IRXQG LQ SOHQW\ 7KH %ULWLVK $FDGHP\ %$6$6 KDV accorded recognition for the formation of an international research group based on Pattanam.
