Money, politics and split opinion in Japan on grand gift of Tokyo Olympics cbc.ca 15 hrs ago Geoff Nixon © Eugene Hoshiko/The Associated Press The Tokyo Olympics will get underway in less than two weeks under a state of emergency in Japan s capital and amid opposition from those who fear the potential public health consequences of hosting the international event during a pandemic. An illustration shared on social media shows International Olympic Committee president Thomas Bach wearing a face mask and cheerfully waving, while the accompanying text conveys the message that people in Japan don t necessarily want to reciprocate. We can t wave back meaning we re pretty depressed, it s a bit of an emergency, said Hyung-Gu Lynn, a professor in the Asian studies department at the University of British Columbia in Vancouver. He describes an ambivalent mood in Japan, addressed in a recent meme, ahead of the pending Olympics.
