Tokyo’s mayor has equated the CPC with the Nazis. Tak points to a report from the Times of London and comments:
During an exclusive interview with the Times, Ishihara, the right-wing mayor of Tokyo who is fanatically bent on blaming all social ills on Asian immigrants and mainland countries, called for boycotting the Beijing 2008 Olympics games.
There has been calls for boycotting the Beijing Games (for example, see this site by Reporters Without Borders), but not for reasons given by Ishihara. He says that Beijing will be used by China in the same way that Hitler used Berlin to display Nazi power and prove their Aryan supremacy.
Not that China’s never done wrong, but I have to ask: who resembles Hitler more?
Personally, I’m hoping that Beijing 2008 will be more like Seoul 1988 (although I see no evidence of that happening.)
Tak also continues his look into the relationship between journalism and blogging in Japan.
