TOKYO http://www.airmaxforsalechina.com/ , Oct. 18 (Xinhua) -- Yuko Obuchi, 40-year-old Japanese trade minister and a rising candidate for future prime minister, has intention to resign from the post due to a political fund scandal, Japan's Kyodo News quoted government official as reporting.


Obuchi, daughter of former Prime Minister Keizo Obuchi, took the post early in September when Prime Minister Shinzo Abe carried out his first cabinet reshuffle since he launched the cabinet in late 2012.


Obuchi intends to take responsibility for the scandal and finalize her course of action after conveying her intention to Abe later, possibly by the end of Saturday wholesale air max , Kyodo quoted the unnamed official as reporting.


Obuchi's appointment, along with other female ministers, was seen as efforts to walk Abe's word on his ""womenomics"" that aims at improving women workforce in Japan so as to revitalize Japan's prolonged sluggish economy.


Abe is due to return to Tokyo from Italy Saturday afternoon and the resignation of Obuchi would be a thorny issue for the prime minister as it would significantly punch on the government when it upholds empowerment of women.


Calls for the resignation of Obuchi are growing within the Abe government and among members of his Liberal Democratic Party over her irregularities in financial reports of political groups supporting her cabinet appointee's activities, reported Kyodo.


""The momentum for her resignation is unchanged,"" Kyodo quoted a senior official of the Liberal Democratic Party as reporting Saturday.

WASHINGTON cheap air max , July 21 (Xinhua) -- Continued cooperation and consultation are key for both Beijing and Washington to rebalance and strengthen economic ties.


Such an approach, now and for the future, is necessary for the world's two largest economies amid a sluggish global economic recovery and a surge in anti-globalization sentiment. A timetable and a roadmap for cooperation produced from the first round of their Comprehensive Economic Dialogue illustrates how committed both sides are to coping with new changes.


The two sides have agreed to focus on macro-economic policy, trade, investment as well as global economic governance.


The consensus reached on the services trade is expected to foster new growth points. Beijing's willingness to expand market access further as required by Washington is expected to promote trade balance.


For the U.S. side, the huge surplus for China in bilateral trade has been a big headache and was a focus of the July 19 dialogue of high-level officials.
