Modest Beijing Olympic torch relay begins 2 days ahead of opening

BEIJING – The Beijing Olympic torch relay kicked off in a modest manner in the center of the capital on Wednesday amid lingering concern over the COVID-19 pandemic, just two days before the opening of the global sporting event.

Japan’s sanctions over Ukraine “counterproductive”: Russian envoy

TOKYO – Russian Ambassador to Japan Mikhail Galuzin on Wednesday warned that Japan’s plans to adopt punitive measures against Russia in line with tougher sanctions imposed on Moscow by some Western nations in the event of military aggression in Ukraine would be “counterproductive.”

The envoy’s remarks came after Japanese Prime Minister Fumio Kishida pledged during a virtual summit with U.S President Joe Biden late last month to take “strong action in response to any attack” on Ukraine by Russia, which has increased its military presence on the border fueling concern about a possible invasion.

Artist behind Bird’s Nest laments use of Olympic venue for propaganda

TOKYO – World-renowned Chinese artist in exile Ai Weiwei has lamented the use in Chinese government propaganda of the Bird’s Nest national stadium he helped to design for the 2008 Beijing Olympics, saying it subverts the original intention to embody democracy and freedom.

In a recent written interview with Kyodo News ahead of the opening of the Winter Olympics on Friday in the Chinese capital, the dissident artist also described some Western nations’ diplomatic boycotts of the games over human rights in China as “meaningless” and rapped the International Olympic Committee for being “politicized.”

TOKYO – Japan Airlines Co. said Wednesday its net loss narrowed to 128.32 billion yen ($1.12 billion) for the April to December period, from a 212.72 billion yen loss a year earlier, as air travel demand rebounded after the COVID-19 emergency was fully lifted in October at home.

But a JAL executive said the airline saw demand beginning to slow as the Omicron variant of the new coronavirus started to spread in Japan from late last year.

TOKYO – Panasonic Corp. on Wednesday reported a net profit of 195.63 billion yen ($1.70 billion) in the April-December period, up 50.3 percent from a year earlier, on the back of strong sales of batteries for electric vehicles.

The automotive and energy segments, key growth areas for the electronics company, logged sales of 774.9 billion yen, up 7 percent from a year earlier, and 568.0 billion yen, up 27 percent, respectively, due to strong overseas demand for in-vehicle equipment and electric car batteries for Tesla Inc.
