Uighur Kadeer arrives in Tokyo

Uighur activist Rebiya Kadeer has arrived in Tokyo for a visit which has prompted an angry reaction from China.
Mrs Kadeer is expected to use her five-day stay to drum up support for the minority group.
Beijing holds that Mrs Kadeer was behind a recent outbreak of deadly ethnic unrest in Xinjiang province.
But Mrs Kadeer, once a businesswoman in China and now leader of the exile group the World Uighur Congress, has denied any involvement.
Her visit to Japan will include a news conference and meeting with members of the ruling Liberal Democratic Party.
On Monday, Chinese ambassador Cui Tiankai called Mrs Kadeer a criminal.
"How would the people of Japan feel if a violent crime occurs in Japan and its mastermind is invited by a third country" Mr Cui was quoted as saying by Kyodo news agency.
He hinted that the visit could harm relations between China and Japan.
"We must prevent important matters that should be worked on together from being disturbed by a criminal or attention to our common interests from being diverted," he said.
Culture threat
Mrs Kadeer, who now lives in the US, was imprisoned in China for six years until 2005 on charges of endangering national security.
Nearly 200 people – mostly Han Chinese – died in the clashes between Uighurs and Han Chinese in the western province of Xinjiang, according to Chinese officials. Uighur exiles say hundreds of Uighurs were killed.
The unrest began on 5 July during a protest by Uighurs over a brawl in southern China in late June in which two people were killed.
China’s Uighurs are concentrated in Xinjiang but complain their rights and culture are being overridden by an influx of Han migrants from outside the region.</p

Mrs Kadeer, once a businesswoman in China and now leader of the exile group the World Uighur Congress, denies any involvement with the violence.
Chinese ambassador Cui Tiankai called Mrs Kadeer a criminal.

China’s Rio Tinto inquiry widens
July 14th, 2009 |
No Comments
China has extended its investigations into alleged spying and bribery by Rio Tinto employees to executives of five Chinese steelmakers.
Baosteel Group, Anshan Iron & Steel Group, Laigang Group and Jigang Group are being probed, the China Daily said.
An executive at another major producer, Shougang Group, was detained last week, news reports said.
Australian Treasurer Wayne Swan has said the case of detained Australian Stern Hu should be handled quickly.
Baosteel, Shougang and Angang are among the 16 delegation members at the talks for fixing 2009 iron ore prices, the China Daily reported.
It said the annual talks, which were supposed to conclude by 30 June, are continuing despite the arrests and investigations.
State secrets
Mr Hu and three other men working for the Anglo-Australian mining firm Rio Tinto were detained last week, accused of stealing state secrets.
Rio Tinto was acting as lead negotiator for global iron ore producers in talks with Chinese mills on the price for annual supply contracts.
The Rio employees are accused of bribing Chinese steel company personnel to obtain summaries of the negotiators’ meetings, according to Chinese news reports.
In Canberra, Australia, the Chinese ambassador was again called in to the foreign ministry on Tuesday, the third summons in a week.
Australia’s opposition is pressing for more aggressive action on Mr Hu’s arrest, but Finance Minister Lindsay Tanner said "yelling and screaming" would not help. </p
