TOKYO (AFP) - Japan will on Monday appoint the mouthless feline cartoon character Hello Kitty as a goodwill tourism ambassador in China and Hong Kong, with the aim of promoting visits here, Kyodo News has reported.

...

A Hello Kitty blog will start around late June on the Chinese language page of the campaign website to introduce tourist attractions in Japan, including historic and popular sites, Kyodo said.

NNNNOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!

(all joking aside, what are the real chances that anyone - even Hello Kitty - will get the Chinese to forgive, or at least forget, the Rape of Nanking? Yeah, I thought so too.)
