The CEO of Japan's top e-commerce company says that it would be a 'suicide mission' for the country to host the Olympic Games this summer

"suicide mission" for the country to host the Olympic Games this summer.

"It's dangerous to host the big international event from all over the world. So, the risk is too big," Mikitani told CNN Business."The upside is not that great, and we see many countries are still struggling so much, including India and Brazil. And it's not time to celebrate yet," he added. Speaking to CNBC on Thursday, SoftBank CEO Masayoshi Son said he was"afraid" both for Japan and other countries should the Tokyo Olympics go ahead as planned this summer.

"We have been deeply concerned by reports that athletes have become the target of some people's frustrations about the current medical situation," said Toyota's Operating Officer Jun Nagata during an earnings call on Wednesday.
