Under existing laws, Japan penalises the desecration of foreign flags to prevent diplomatic disputes, but previously lacked equivalent protections for its own flag, the Hinomaru.

That's such a Japanese kind of law.

    It makes sense, people burn foreign flags because they're militant nationalists, they burn their own and allied flags because they're dissatisfied with their own country's actions.

    I'm more shocked they didn't ban burning foreign flags for the purpose of stopping antifascists from burning Japan's flag when the LDP does fascist shit.

    Why not find out why folks are burning their own flag and maybe address those issues?
