Torch relay for the Olympic Beijing 2008

Yesterday, torch relay for Beijing 2008 was carried out in Nagano. Young PRC citizens living in Japan gathered in Nagano. They shouted their country name, "Zhung guo (中国)," waving PRC's flag, and followed Japanese carrying Tibetan flags.

Near the end of the video, a Japanese guy is claiming policemen to arrest one of the Chinese guy who allegedly attempted to rob his Tibetan flag.

Compare the above video with that of the Athens 2004.


It was a good decision that Zenkoji temple in Nagano refused to serve as the starting point of the torch relay.


Japanese Buddhists' Silent Protest held at the Zenkoji temple.
