Japan bans tracksuited Chinese torch guards, as relay moves to Buenos Aires

They have already told the Chinese people on national TV what the torch route is, and had it all over global maps in Chinese for weeks and months. To suddenly stop the torch and its progress, would be immediately understood by ALL CHINESE despite their news black out. Also they cannot stop the Internet and there is word of mouth. In an indirect way, they concerns and really pisses off Myanmar and North Korea, two other places just WAITING for the people to rise up and seize control and hang their dictators.

I am not Japanese, but I will take that as an accolade. So, thanks!

中華赤鬼 (Chinese red devil)

Chicom will be deeply saddened to hear this.

[AmericanInTokyo]

Believe me, it was just WAITING to happen. And once the legions of Japanese violent ultranationalist right wingers (whom of course I have my own disagreements with) and their loudspeaker trucks and truncheons got into the action, you would have one bloody group of plain-clothed PLA officers straggling around on the street in a daze. It would have been ugly. But on this one, JAPAN WINS!

[AmericanInTokyo]

Oops, Tiger, maybe I should have said: 中共赤鬼 instead, to distinguish from a blanket attack on ALL Chinese...millions of whom are great people.

Yes, I SPIT on Chinese Communism. Long live Free China.

[TigerLikesRooster]

中共赤鬼 is certainly more appropriate, but many probably understand what you meant with the first expression.

Once more I like and respect the Japanese here. Stupid Australia is allowing these f****** ChiCom thugs in. What wussies

[Gatún(CraigIsaMangoTreeLawyer)]

Maybe when they get to Africa cannibals will eat them.

Rudd says ‘no’ to China torch guards
April 10, 2008 10:51 EDT

BEIJING (AP) — Australian officials say they won’t allow Chinese paramilitary police to run alongside the Olympic flame during its Australian run.

The decision follows criticism of the guards’ aggressive tactics during earlier legs of the relay.

Beijing had dispatched the men in bright blue tracksuits to protect the flame on its 85,000-mile journey, the longest in Olympic history. But the guards’ actions, including yelling and snatching up Tibetan flags during the relay, sparked concern in London and Paris.

The top official for the 2012 London Olympics called them “thugs.”

Australian Prime Minister Kevin Rudd says his country’s security detail will keep an eye on the torch. He says China’s “men in blue” can get off the bus only when needed, such as when the torch is passed from one runner to another.

Rudd Says ‘No’ to China Torch Guards

BEIJING (AP) — Chinese paramilitary police will not be allowed to run alongside the Olympic torch in Australia, the country’s prime minister said Thursday, after their heavy-handed tactics drew criticism in earlier legs of the relay.

The men in bright blue tracksuits were dispatched by Beijing to guard the Olympic flame on its journey around the world. They sparked concern in London and Paris, with the top official for the 2012 London Olympics calling them “thugs.”

None the less those ChiCom thugs were allowed into Austrailia and are being ordered to chill. But they are in Oz

[HereInTheHeartland]

“The “thug” Chinese security guards who have accompanied the Olympic torch on its route through London, Paris and San Fransisco, will not be allowed to make a repeat performance in Japan.”

Good.
To bad we let them on our streets

To bad we let them on our streets

S.F. Mayor Gavin Newsom allowed them the use of Van Ness Avenue. The people of San Francisco, who may have had other ideas, were miles away over on the Embarcadero.

That’s still better than having them bully people every inch of the way, but you’re right. They rather remind me of the dogs in Animal Farm (Rotweilers?). And I love dogs.

I think China can say goodbye to any possible goodwill in the rest of the world. Its become nothing more than a charade played out for domestic consumption.
