TOKYO Under Armour Mens Shoes Clearance , June 15 (Xinhua) -- Japanese defense firms concluded a three-day arms show this week at which cutting edge, home-grown and overseas military technology was showcased to enhance and promote military ties that Prime Minister Shinzo Abe is hoping will help broaden access to southeast Asian markets.


The MAST Asia 2017, an international maritime defense trade show, held at the Makuhari Messe convention center in Chiba, just outside of Tokyo Under Armour Womens Shoes Clearance , was attended by hundreds of defense officials and industry leaders from around the world.


At the first conference held in 2015, Japanese firms showcased their technologies together rather than being viewed as stand alone arms makers, at a time controversies regarding arms exports were a buzz in the wake of Abe lifting a decades-old ban on military exports a year earlier.


This year, around 16 Japanese firms exhibited independently in the cavernous venue, including Mitsubishi Heavy Industries Under Armour Scorpio Shoes Clearance , Japan's biggest arms producer, known to make everything from next-generation battle tanks to air-to-ship and surface-to-ship missiles, Kawasaki Heavy Industries, which produces the sub-hunting P-1 patrol plane, and ShinMaywa Industries Under Armour Curry Shoes Clearance , which builds the US-2 amphibious plane.


Overseas exhibits included Lockheed Martin Corp.'s F-35 stealth fighter, pegged to be Japan's next mainstay fighter, making a timely addition following Japan's first domestically assembled F-35 fighter jet completing its maiden test flight on Tuesday.


Japan showcased the latest in Japanese guided-missile destroyer technology, amphibious assault vehicle concepts as well as the latest in radar tracking systems.


A separate seminar is scheduled to be held on Thursday by Japan's defense ministry, with the move purportedly aimed at solidifying Abe's push to increase arms sales to Southeast Asian countries.


"Japan's research and development of high-quality defense equipment contributes to the defense of Japan and elsewhere Under Armour Basketball Shoes Clearance ," claimed Hideaki Watanabe, head of the Defense Ministry's Acquisition Technology and Logistics Agency (ATLA).


But analysts pointed out that the move would possibly disturb Japan's close neighbors, already vexed at Japan for its ever-shifting security paradigm and seeming willingness to expedite a potentially dangerous regional arms race.


Experts said Japan's security direction remains largely unknown in the run up to a possible amendment to its war-renouncing constitution.


They added that many Asian countries also still have bitter memories of Japan's wartime aggression and, as such, Japan's ardent push to broaden its access to southeast Asian military markets and reciprocal military relationships therein should not be without checks and balances.


ATLA is planning to potentially permit entities headed by foreign nationals to apply for subsidies from Japan for defense technology research in a bid to potentially further its acquisition of next-generation military technologies from overseas.


But experts on the matter have voiced caution.


"How far is the government going to go in mimicking the United States?" said Satoru Ikeuchi Under Armour Running Shoes Clearance , a professor emeritus at Nagoya University.


"I think the move is dangerous as it's part of the movement to promote Japanese Self-Defense Forces' integration with the forces of allies in the name of the right to engage in collective self-defense, with joint development of defense equipment in mind," the expert said.


LONDON, Nov. 27 (Xinhua) -- Wigan chairman Dave Whelan has been charged by the Football Association over comments he made about Jewish and Chinese people in an interview, the BBC said here on Thursday.


It is alleged his original statements were "abusive andor insulting andor constitute improper conduct andor bring the game into disrepute".


Whelan made the comments to The Guardian while defending his decision to appoint Malky Mackay as Wigan manager Under Armour Shoes Clearance , who is still being investigated by the FA over claims the Scot sent texts of a homophobic, racist and sexist nature while in charge at Cardiff.

Whelan reportedly said "Jewish people chase money more than everybody else", and that he also defended Mackay's use of the term "chink" to describe a Chinese person.


RIO DE JANEIRO, March 22 (Xinhua) -- Brazil's seven-a-side Paralympic footballers said Sunday they are ready to end the dominance of Russia and Ukraine at the Rio 2016 Games.


Midfielder Wanderson Oliveira believes Brazil's recent results show they are equal favorites to win gold on home soil.


"I believe we are the strongest team in the world at the moment," Oliveira told Rio2016.


"Russia and Ukraine have been the best for best for many years Under Armour Mens Shoes For Sale , but the scene is changing. We are very confident for the world championship (in June this year) and the Paralympic Games.


"Ukraine and Russia are very methodological, very tactical, but us Brazilians always have a card up our sleeve. We can always produce a special move that makes a difference."


Ukraine and Russia have won two seven-a-side football gold medals each at the past four Paralympic Games.


But their dominance showed signs of coming to an end at the 2013 Intercontinental Cup in Barcelona. Brazil beat Russia 2-0 in the semifinals before losing the final 1-0 to Ukraine.


The team is now intent on going one step further at June's world championship in England and the Parapan American Games in Toronto in August.


Despite this year's tournaments, defender Diego Silva said he could not avoid thinking about the Paralympics.


"It will be amazing to play in front of our own fans," Silva said. "We're very confident and working hard to win the gold medal in 2016. Ukraine and Russia are very str.
