A resident looks at a photo exhibition about Japan's wartime invasion at Marco Polo Bridge on the outskirts of Beijing July 6, 2007, on the eve of 70th anniversary of Japan's full-scale invasion of China. The exhibit coincides with the 70th anniversary of the July 7, 1937 skirmish at the Marco Polo Bridge near Beijing, which sparked all-out war between China and Japan. Ties between the neighbours have been strained by Tokyo's refusal to acknowledge atrocities committed by Japanese soldiers in the country between 1931 and 1945. [Reuters]
