Okinawa has hard time pressing U.S. base relocation issue

NAHA, Japan - Okinawa Gov. Hirokazu Nakaima (R) and Lt. Gen. Kenneth Glueck, commander of U.S. Marine Corps Bases Japan, meet at the prefectural government office in Naha on April 13, 2011. People around Nakaima, who opposes the planned relocation of the U.S. Marine Corps' Futenma Air Station within the prefecture, complained that it has become harder for him to press the issue after the Marines have been praised in the country for their rescue operations in areas devastated by Japan's March 11 earthquake and tsunami.

When the second session of the 14th NPC lifted its curtain at the Great Hall of the People in Beijing on Tuesday, Wang Yongcheng was presented with a special government work report -- a version in Braille, which is a historic first for the country's top legislature.
