G8 summit will be held at near the Lake TOYA in Hokkaido in this July.
Many people around the world are casting doubt upon new policies and rules for the world and its non-democratic decision making by only 8 developed countries. Therefore we are forming a variety of plans for Anti-G8 actions during G8 summit. We, NO G8 ACTIONJAPAN, have had an idea of stating that doubt through the music. Why G8? We want to make a space for considering these doubts about G8 with the music. Why G8? Is it only for the developed countries? Doing what as they like? What is G8? Explain about it! This event is for the whole people, who is holding that sort of feeling and being disconnected. A lot of music, and people are too. Vent your anger to G8. We need chaos!

China's GDP ranked fourth in 2007, up from rank six in 2004. In PPP terms China ranked second. China has been
growing at 10% for two decades. Her foreign direct investment is growing fast as well. Why China can achieve
this? What is the price of such dramatic growth from a labor perspective? Is China a model for developing
countries? What is the implication for labor in the developed world? Join us to discuss these interesting
