Nanking massacre memorial day should be international event, says NPC delegate

The seventh session of the 12th NPC Standing Committee in Beijing discuss making December 13 a national memorial day to commemorate those killed during the Nanking massacre in the 1930s, and designating September 3 as "Victory Day of the Chinese People's War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression".

A National People’s Congress (NPC) delegate who has been lobbying for a memorial day to mark the Nanking massacre wants state leaders to attend and turn it into an international event.

Vice-President of the Nanjing Municipal People’s Congress Zou Jianping told the Beijing News  he hoped "at least one state leader attends” and suggested at least one vice-chairman of the National People’s Congress or a vice-chairman of Chinese People’s Political Consultative Conference.
