Jerry Springer, China style

The BBC this week will broadcast a political show with live input from Shanghai. But a far more interesting debate will occur in Tokyo this month. The SCMP:

Heated exchanges are expected when mainland nationalists and Japanese right-wing activists clash in a public debate in Tokyo this month. Tong Zeng , chairman of the China Federation for Defending the Diaoyu Islands, will head the mainland's three-member non-governmental debate team.

The key topics for the discussion, which has been set up by a Japanese magazine, will range from the disputed Diaoyu Islands to Japanese Prime Minister Junichiro Koizumi's controversial visits to the Yasukuni Shrine, where Japan's war dead are honoured...It is not known if the debate will be televised.

We can only hope for Taiwan parliament style fisty-cuffs. Will Japan have a couple of sumo wrestlers out the back, stepping in Jerry Springer style to seperate the parties? Will they spring a surprise guest such as Taiwan's President? Will a North Korea minister be waiting in the green room? How can this not be televised. It could be the best show on TV this year.
