Description

This study analyzes newspaper articles in Chinese concerning the 1964 Tokyo Olympic Games （Tokyo Olympics）. The objective of the study is to clarify the media perspectives of mainland China and Hong Kong, a region which was under the sovereignty of the U.K., and both of which were under different political systems. The historical materials examined include articles of “Renmin Ribao” from mainland China and“ Wenhui Bao” from Hong Kong published in 1964 when the Tokyo Olympics were held. This study shows that China then non-participating in the Tokyo Olympics for political reasons. Among them were articles criticizing the IOC and President Avery Brundage concerning the participation issue of Indonesia and North Korea to the Tokyo Olympics. The study suggests that the articles, based on the tone of the press that the One China principle had to be maintained, were published to strengthen Chinese nationalism by politically utilizing the Tokyo Olympics. The “Wenhui Bao” stayed in line with Renmin Ribao politically, but published a number of articles covering the Tokyo Olympics including comprehensive reports and objective evaluations concerning the organization, operation and competitions of the Tokyo Olympics from the perspective of a region that participated in the Tokyo Olympics.
