Caption/Description
A man pays his respect during a moment of silence beside a new monument dedicated to victims of the Nanjing Massacre a day before the 70th anniversary of the Nanjing Massacre by Japanese Invaders, in Nanjing, eastern China's Jiangsu province, Wednesday Dec. 12, 2007. This year's anniversary of Japan's notorious wartime massacre of civilians in the Chinese city of Nanjing is being given tempered treatment by China's government, reflecting a drive to improve relations with Tokyo and avoid inflaming nationalist passions at home.
