Tokyo enters a state of emergency which will last through the 2020 Summer Olympics, with spectators to be banned from all Olympic venues in the city. With a recent surge in COVID cases, how prepared is the country to safely host the Games? And what is Japanese public opinion on hosting the most expensive summer Olympics ever recorded? And what are the political ramifications for Prime Minister Suga, already under fire for Japan's handling of the pandemic? Guests in this edition of Dialogue are Paul Dong, Co-founder of Ei Asia Limited; Kay Shimizu, Assistant Professor of Political Science at the University of Pittsburgh; and Phoebe Amoroso, our correspondent in Tokyo.
