Japan: Chinese spectators boo Japanese team, arouse national debate
Written byChris Salzberg
Ampontan discusses the booing of the Japanese national team by a crowd of Chinese spectators at the Women's World Cup. After losing the game, the Japanese team displayed a banner that read: “Thank you China” in three languages, a gesture which Ampontan describes as “the gold standard for behavior in NE Asia”.

The world cup was in China, not in Germany. That should be changed; a banner reading “Thank you China” would not make sense if the world cup was held in Germany.
