Why would Japan rather risk the spread of the epidemic and hold the Olympic Games as planned?

At a time when the epidemic situation is getting worse, Japan is willing to hold the Olympic Games even though the world is outspoken. There are four reasons for this. First, too much money is invested; Second, the tourism industry has been hit hard; Third, the great influence on the government; Fourth, the huge impact caused by the delay.

first, too much money has been invested; In order to host this Olympic Games, Japan has invested a lot of money all over the country. In order to build Olympic-related facilities and equipment, Japan has spent nearly $25 billion on building venues and renovating them. In order to cope with the Olympic traffic, Japan Airlines even invested in a temporary subsidiary. Taking these expenses into account, Japan has invested about $26.2 billion just for the Olympic Games. If the Olympic Games are cancelled, these funds will hit Shui Piao, so Japan will hold it even if it faces the risk of the spread of the epidemic.

second, Japan's tourism industry has been hit hard; By the end of the year, China had already dealt a heavy blow to Japanese tourism because of the epidemic situation. Japan's tourism industry, which was originally prepared to face the consumption of the Spring Festival, has had a great impact on Japan's tourism industry because of the sharp decline in epidemic tourists. If the Olympic Games are cancelled, it will be the second impact on Japan's tourism industry. Holding the Olympic Games as planned can revive Japanese tourism and even make up for the impact of the previous China epidemic.

Third, it has great influence on the government; The advertisements signed for the Olympic Games, the sponsors' contracts and the huge amount of breach of contract all require the Japanese government to pay the bill. The already depressed economy, if the Olympic Games are cancelled again, will add insult to injury and even shake the society. Moreover, these huge losses will be borne by the government, and of course will be shared with the people, which will also cause people's dissatisfaction with the government and may even cause the government to step down. Therefore, regardless of losses, just for the sake of government stability, the Olympic Games must be held as planned.

fourth, the huge impact caused by the delay; Is it feasible to just postpone it if it is not cancelled? Of course, this measure is not feasible. We should know that there are too many countries and projects involved, and if it is postponed, it will undoubtedly conflict with the arrangements of other international events. What's more, there are mature plans for the live broadcast of the games, and the hasty delay will affect the live broadcast schedule of the TV station, which will further affect the income of the Olympic Committee's live broadcast rights. So it is not a good suggestion to postpone the Olympic Games.
