What's the matter with the Asian Winter Games Organizing Committee's plan not to arrange for China delegation to stay in APA Hotel?

According to the Kyodo News Agency's 3 1 report, the organizing committee of the Sapporo Asian Winter Games, which will be held from 9 to 26 next month/kloc-0, plans to change the hotel where athletes of the China delegation stay from the APA hotel with right-wing books to other hotels, and coordination has started.

APA Hotel in Japan has long placed English-Japanese bilingual books written by group owner Yuangu Waizhixiong in its hotel rooms and lobby, denying historical facts such as the Nanjing Massacre and the Japanese military's forced recruitment of "comfort women". After this incident was exposed recently, it was strongly condemned by China, South Korea and other countries. China National Tourism Administration said on the 24th that all outbound tourism enterprises and tourism e-commerce platforms are required to completely stop cooperation with APA Group. The Japanese Embassy in China held a regular press conference on the 25th, saying that the right-wing books placed in APA hotel rooms were "acts of openly provoking Japanese tourists".

* * * According to the news agency, according to the introduction of the Organizing Committee of the Sapporo Asian Winter Games, besides the APA Hotel, Prince Hotel in Sapporo will also be used as an athlete accommodation hotel, but other hotels may also be candidate hotels. The organizers of the Olympic Games, the Olympic Council of Asia (OCA) and the Chinese Olympic Committee, had previously asked the China delegation not to stay in the APA Hotel.

It is reported that 3 1 countries and regions, including China, signed up for the Asian Winter Games. The number of athletes originally planned to stay at APA Hotel is the largest. The Chinese Olympic Committee announced on the 26th that the Secretary General of the Asian Winter Games Organizing Committee had written to the Chinese Olympic Committee, and APA Hotel decided to withdraw all books from the hotel rooms, lobby and front desk.
