China and the Olympics?!
August 5, 2008
Can anybody help me answer the question as to how and why the Olympic committee came to the decision that it would be a good idea for Beijing to host the Olympics this year?
Not only do they have an awful smog problem (rumour has it they doctored photographs to make the problem seem smaller than it is) but their communist government rule with an iron fist and appear to be doing nothing about their appalling poverty and human rights problem. To add to this people have been forcibly moved out of the areas that the Olympic stadium has been built and I doubt that they were rehoused in new luxury homes!
Now just days before the Games are due to open there has been a terriost attack in the region of Xinjiang.
Fair enough the area is quite a long way from Beijing but it makes you wonder, with all the riots and protests that have been occurring why have the Olympic organisers rewarded the Chinese with the prestige of holding the Games? It was a mere promise that they would start to address the issues of poverty and the communist government that seems not to be apposed by anyone. This seems ludicrous to me!
But i’ll just get down off my high horse for a minute and give you something to contemplate…..what will the reporters make of London and Britain when they all roll up in 2012?!
