This diffusion rate easily dwarfs any other G-7 country, including Germany (313), the United Kingdom (352) and the U.S. (233). 45 out of the 120 different newspapers available carry a morning and evening edition. The five largest newspapers each sell more than four million copies daily, more than any of their largest Western counterparts such as Bild in Germany (3.9 mil.), The Sun in the U.K. (2.4 mil.) or USA Today in the U.S.

But it has left the unsolved problematique such as income extreme discrepancy, resource and energy wasteful consumption, disposals, climate emergency and unilateralism. The people in the world suffer from its negative legacies even more seriously. Now it would be the time for Asia and Japan to rescue the world by introducing more tolerance to the others and by understanding us, the humans, being allowed only as an existence within the great nature system.

Final Kietlinski
REVIEW ESSAY The Olympic Games: Showcases of Internationalism and Modernity in Asia Robin Kietlinski, City University of New York – LaGuardia Community College Stefan Huebner. Pan-Asian Sports and the Emergence of Modern Asia, 1913–1974. Singapore: National University of Singapore Press, 2016. 416 pp. $42 (paper). Jessamyn R. Abel. The International Minimum: Creativity and Contradiction in Japan’s Global Engagement, 1933–1964. Honolulu: University of Hawai‘i Press, 2015. 344 pp. $54 (cloth). Over the past two decades, the English-language scholarship on sports in Asia has blossomed. Spurred in part by the announcement in 2001 that Beijing would host the 2008 Summer Olympics, the number of academic symposia, edited volumes, and monographs looking at sports in East Asia from multiple disciplinary perspectives has increased substantially in the twenty- first century. With three Olympic Games forthcoming in East Asia (Pyeongchang 2018, Tokyo 2020, and Beijing 2022), the volume of scholarship on sports, the Olympics, and body culture in this region has continued to grow and to become ever more nuanced. Prior to 2001, very little English-language scholarly work on sports in Asia considered the broader significance of sporting events in East Asian history, societies, and politics (both regional and global). Several recent publications have complicated and contextualized this area of inquiry.1 While some of this recent scholarship makes reference to countries across East Asia, single-author monographs tend to focus on one nation, and particularly on how nationalism and sports fueled each other in the tumultuous twentieth century.2 Scholarship on internationalism in the context of sporting events in East Asia is much harder to come by.
