This is what I called pride which My country's politicians lack completely:
Chinese security guards who have accompanied the Olympic torch on its route through London, Paris and San Francisco will not be allowed to run alongside the torch in Japan later this month. Security on Japanese soil is for the domestic police alone, and the principle will not be compromised because it is the Olympics, a senior Japanese official said.
It follows a similar pledge by Australian Prime Minister Kevin Rudd who said Thursday "total security will be provided by the Australian authorities" during the Canberra torch relay.
