Japanese Right-wingers and the Beijing Olympics

When I was meeting up with a friend in Shibuya yesterday the (quite unpleasant) "uyoku" set up a protest against the Beijing Olympics (with arguments such as "think of the environment" I have to say that I found it to be quite amusing as well, but,after checking out Arudo Debito`s blog I realized that it`s actually part of the tactics of "Great Japanese Vermillion Light Association") right by the Shibuya Crossing. Needless to say they are extremely loud and don`t like foreigners. The regular "thugs" of these groups don`t seem to have an agenda except for the regular "love my country, hate foreigners and other countries (especially S-E Asia)" and probably they don`t. These groups are quite diverse with an estimated 1000+ groups and 100 000+ members. However, these groups seem to be quite powerful when considered their ties to Yakuza and Japanese politics.
A lot of the groups join causes such as Tibetan/Taiwanese/East Turkestan independence which seems to be quite good causes virtually anywhere but in China. However, taking a strong stance against the Beijing Olympics conveys something more about how these groups are set up to be in politics. They did rise to prominence once again after the war because of the cold-war "red scare" and hence a common theme is the hatred of Communism. All the above mentioned regions as well as the Olympics are items crucial to China's internal stability and security as Tibet gives China a "security buffer" (Himalaya acting as a protective wall) between the Chinese Heartland and the potential rival India. East Turkestan is a vast step land that separates China and Russia/Russian "allies" giving China secure boarders and more internal stability. Taiwan is an Island which makes it less useful geopolitically, but if established as a place where US can put up a military base (note how many troops US have stationed around Chinas western boarders) Bejing would definitly get scared. South Korea is at the moment an island (with North Korea cutting it off providing another buffer for China) hence the unwillingness from not only China but also US and Japan against a Korean reunion as if they reunited in a North Korean manner US military in South would loose it`s foothold (and hence be a threat to Japanese security and American military interests). If united under South Korea, Chinas buffer (the heavily militarized North) would be lost and Beijing would find itself having to deal with the U.S. having land-access to the China.
The Uyoku foreign stance seems to be set up as a grassroots movement to keep China as concerned with internal problems as possible. Not that they can actually do anything about it but nontheless I think that the causes they choose to support says something about how strong a threat that they consider China to be and how monolithic China is made out to be according to a lot of Japanese. "The Red Scare" is definitly alive and well
