Rising Sun Flags in 2020 Tokyo Olympic

It’s the symbol of evil. Japan’s Rising Sun flag is now allow to be shown in 2020 Olympic. Spokesman defended its stance on “Swinging flag is not a political statement”. Referencing to nation wide use of the flag, which is not quite right. Last Friday, Tokyo Olympic organizers said that the display of Japan’s “Rising Sun” does not constitute a political statement and a spokesman said there were no plans to ban the controversial banner, as demanded by South Korea. The “Rising Sun” flag was adopted in 1870 as the flag of the Japanese Imperial Army. In 1889 it became the navy ensign. It was then adopted as the ensign of the Maritime Self-Defence Force, as Japan’s navy is known, when the MSDF was established as part of Japan’s Self-Defense Forces in 1954. South Korea’s Sports Ministry last week have asked the International Olympics Committee to prohibit any use of the flag, which it likened to the Nazi’s use of the swastika. Reuters reported. FIFA international foot ball association banned Rising flag at its championship tournament in 2017. The precedent explains how the flag disgrace on South Korean people. In its letter to the IOC, South Korea’s sports ministry likened the flag to the Nazi swastika and said it was a symbol of the “historic scars and pain” inflicted on the Korean peninsula by imperial Japan. The letter also expressed Seoul’s “deep disappointment and concern” over Tokyo’s earlier refusal to ban the flags and pointed out that Fifa, the governing body of world football, banned the flag from international matches. South China Morning Post reported. Do you want to swing the flag? If you want to. How dare you. It reminds people Japan’s invasions, imperialism and brutal military. I made and podcast how Japanese people rationalised wartime’s crimes. Please listen if you don’t know about Japanese military’s historical massacre and how imperialism ignore basic human rights. South Koreans were discriminated by homogenous Japanese “good” citizens in Korean Peninsula and mainland Japan. For example, when the earth quake hit Kant region in 1923, Japan’s police, military and the vigilante killed 6,000 Korean people. The comparison between Japan’s Imperialism and German’s nazism is understandable.
