Btw, it's so Japanese to label anyone who criticizes anything to do with Japan as anti-Japan, even at the expense of disowning your own citizens. Eg. Abe's gaffe about Japanese not supporting the Olympics. I criticize my government, but no one calls me anti american. Maybe if you accept that there are issues with your country, then Japan can start to reverse its process of extinction.

This will be the first Olympic ceremony I won't be watching in my life.

What happened to the 400 million vaccines that Abe/Suga boasted that they had received?

@oldman

There is no excuse for this one. Japan had in fact received approval from South Korea for this heritage site on the condition they would acknowledge the truth of what happened there. Obviously it did not. I highly doubt they will change it.

I recalled you whined about the pesky Koreans complaining about this. Why the about face?

Another UN body ridiculing Japan's pathetic attempt to whitewash history.

Other UN bodies already ridiculed Japan for lying about the 1965 Korea Japan bilateral agreement, and the 2015 Comfort Women agreement.

Truth hurts Japan, but that's what happens when the Jgov revolves around fake propaganda.

@Alfie

That's interesting. The interweb tells me Airweave is owned by a guy named Motokuni Takaoka. He's a relation of the suddenly invisible Shinzo, is he?

I think Airweave provides the mattresses. Mitsubishi Shoji Packaging provides the cardboards. This company is owned by Hironobu Abe, brother of Shinzo.

Did Japanese athletes protest at the Pyeongchang Winter Olympics in 2018?

Not just 2018 but 2008 Olympics. The Japanese media was out in full force saying how crap those games will be, and that those games will be cancelled. Heck, they even forced other nations to have their training bases in Japan and travel to Pyeongchang and Beijing for the competition only.

Latest news is that the entire South Korean entourage brought their own foods and chefs due to fear of radiation from Fukushima products

So it was OK for Japan to bring their own food to Pyeongchang Olympics, but when Korea does its a no no? BTW, the US still bans Fukushima products.

The banner? Why should the Japanese care? After all, they tell the Koreans to move on from events 70 years ago. Yet Japan still whines about events from several centuries ago, not to mention playing the victim card with the anniversary of the atomic bombs.

Masturbator? Nah, seems more appropriate to describe Suga who is fixated on serving himself and foremost only, and not the common people.

Maybe the Japanese should stop being so petty, then perhaps the Koreans will respect and move on.

More propaganda. Only reason cardboard beds were used was because Abe's relative owns the darn company.

Won't be watching these corrupt games. The worst Olympics ever. Thanks Japan.

If it's such a safe place to stay, why couldn't the jgov adopt the same model to make all of Japan safe?

Is this the start of Japanese people starting to appreciate quality vehicles as opposed to whitegoods on wheels?

First, master the technology of building ALPS treatment plant that properly filters all radioactive isotopes. The crappy Hitachi made equipments failed to remove many radioactive isotopes including tritium in Fukushima. Or better still, don't be so stingy. Buy US made state of the art ones.

Many people in this forum were saying that Japan had already received 400 million vaccines to date. If so, I guess the country wasted over 300 million vaccines through donations and incompetence.

I guess this is what you would normally expect from Japanese politicians. Lack of class.

Why are the Japanese whining? Didn't they say only the Koreans whine? Hypocrisy at its finest.

First Abe says that anyone against the Olympics is anti Japanese. Now Bach says something stupid like this. This is the most rigged Olympics ever.

Fake crowd noise? Thanks Suga and Bach for ruining the Olympic games.

No thanks. Nissan is dead to me.

Third world judiciary.

Diplomacy? Suga has no idea what diplomacy is. Look at his US summit and attendance at G7. Became a laughing stock in Japan and abroad.

Didn't Abe/Suga say that the best model was to test people who have had fever 4 consecutive days? Why daily test the athletes? I guess because they're foreigners.

Pure comedy. Suga trying his best to pre-emptively pass the blame to IOC if things go wrong.

The Taiwanese are complaining about the previous shipment causing nearly 150 deaths raising anti Japanese sentiments there. Wonder if they are going to be grateful this time.

Again, another great example of Japan being no different to CCP and NK.

Why? Didn’t the jgov assure us it was all safe with the worlds best quarantine methods?

Classic definition of leadership in Japan. Do not show leadership.

Who cares? I’m not going to watch this rigged Olympics.

IOC truly losing the plot about what Olympics is.

The next smartest nation after NK. Cancel the damn unfair Olympics.
