Japan's Royals Could Boycott Olympics

Friday, April 4, 2008

Japan's royal family have said they may not attend the Beijing Olympics after several different issues have popped up between Japan and China, as well as the unrest in Tibet. The issues include disputed gas fields and Chinese-made "gyoza" dumplings.

A government official was quoted as saying: "We were planning not to ask royals to go even before the gyoza incident (surfaced in January). It is all the more true now that the Tibetan unrest occurred."

There has been no formal decision made on whether or not the Royal family will attend the Olympics.
