LONDON, June 6 (Xinhua) -- Chinese Ambassador to Britain on Tuesday urged his country and Britain to promote film and TV exchanges to step up the bilateral cultural communication.
Liu Xiaoming made the comments at the London Ceremony of 2017 China-UK Film and TV Conference, where he said the film and TV exchanges between China and Britain have become a new highlight of China-UK cooperation.
"The rich cultural resources of China and Britain could be leveraged to step up the development of our creative industries Men's Nike Air Vapormax 2018 Shoes Black UK ," he told the audience.
The senior official also said that enhanced cultural exchanges will build a new bridge of communication between cultures.
"China-UK relationship is now at its best time in history, as evidenced by the ever-vibrant cooperation in all fields," he said. "The creative industries, the film and TV industry in particular, are fast becoming a new growth point in China-UK cooperation."
Liu called on the two sides to seize the historic opportunities Women's Nike Air Vapormax 2018 Shoes Purple UK , improve the mechanisms of cooperation and build new platforms.
"We should match up our strengths for win-win results," he said.
WASHINGTON, Oct. 15 (Xinhua) -- The Cleveland Cavaliers may be without star LeBron James when they open the season Tuesday against the Boston Celtics.
James, who has been remarkably durable during his career and never missed an opener, skipped a bulk of the preseason because of his ankle Men's Nike Air Vapormax Shoes Navy Black UK , playing 30 minutes in just one contest.
When asked about James' chances of playing, Cleveland coach Tyronn Lue said after Sunday's practice session: "You got to ask him. You got to see how it feels. Just getting the treatment, working the right way and see what happens."
Lue added James was on the floor to go over some plays before getting in a cardio workout and some treatment.
"He's getting older, like me," Lue joked. "It's something that he's been trying to work on. He tried to come back and play Men's Nike Air Vapormax KPU TPU Shoes Green Black UK , but his ankle could have set him back a little bit."
When the NBA released its schedule for the 2017-18 season on Aug. 14, the Cavaliers' season opener against the Celtics was already intriguing as an Eastern Conference finals rematch.
Eight days later, when Cleveland swapped Kyrie Irving to Boston for Jae Crowder, Isaiah Thomas, Ante Zizic and a first-round draft pick Men's Nike Air Vapormax Flyknit Shoes Grey UK , the matchup took on an entirely different meaning.
But Lue refused to place any added significance on Tuesday's challenge against the Celtics.
"It's one game. I know both teams want to see each other, but at the end of the day, you don't win a championship by winning or losing the first game. So they're up for the game, they're ready for it, but that's not our main focus playing Boston Men's Nike Air Vapormax KPU TPU Shoes All Red UK ," said Lue.

The Lushan quake in 2013 was a double blow for many residents who had also been hit by the Wenchuan quake in 2008. But a spirit of optimism, altruism and integrity helped ensure rapid reconstruction.
"I am going to retire, and it is really comforting to see villagers move into brand-new houses before my retirement," said 59-year-old Wang Zongyuan, as he stood in front of an area where 81 homes had just been completed.
Wang was an official at the discipline inspection commission and supervisory bureau of Lushan county of Ya'an Men's Nike Air Vapormax Flyknit Shoes Blue White UK , Sichuan province, before being sent to Qinglongchang village to help with reconstruction five months after an earthquake hit the county.
The 7.0-magnitude Lushan earthquake on April 20, 2013, destroyed tens of thousands of homes and left more than 200 people dead or missing.
Wang was accompanied by 19 other officials from county-level departments who had considerable experience of working in rural areas. They were assigned to help specific areas of Qinglongchang village, the most severely damaged area.
Wang's responsibility was 155 homes housing 453 people in the village. The quake damaged 124 houses Nike Air Vapormax Flyknit Shoes White UK , of which 31 were heavily damaged.
"The situation was bad," Wang said. "The reconstruction work lagged far behind other stricken areas, and the people didn't believe in us. They thought we were sent simply to supervise them."
Wang had three main tasks: inform villagers of the government's policies for housing reconstruction; organize and help in the reconstruction; and develop the local economy.
Every day at 7:30 am, Wang would take a car from the county town with other colleagues for the 20-minute journey to Qinglongchang village, and spend the day visiting one family after another Men's Nike Air Vapormax KPU TPU Shoes All Black UK , explaining the government's policies and learning about the villagers' problems.
At the end of each day, Wang would call a meeting with the other 19 officials to discuss the problems they had encountered and to exchange ideas.
The busiest period occurred at the end of 2013 and the start of last year. At that time, Wang was involved in the planning and design of new houses together with the reconstruction committee, a grassroots democratic organization representing the quake-stricken area and whose members were elected by the villagers.
