RENTAI*

in Politics; Japan In Focus

The Buddhist monks at Zenkoji Temple in Nagano, Japan have decided to take a stand on China’s human rights abuses in Tibet. They are refusing to allow the famous temple to be used as the starting point for the Japanese leg of the Olympic torch world tour.

Good for them. China had been hoping to use the Olympics as a PR coup, but it’s turned into a real PR nightmare for the communist country. Which makes the recent crackdown in Tibet all the more idiotic on their part. They knew the world would be watching closely, yet they went all Miniluv anyway. Idiots.

* Rentai is Japanese for “Solidarity.”
