Answer

Hi Sally. Hosting the 2008 olympic games, in my opinion, is a great opportunity for the rest of the world to learn about China, it's history, people, development, etc.. Other than basic organization, I think the Chinese government and people don't need to try so hard. It seems a little "forced" up to now. Just "let it flow" naturally, and I think the entire event and spirit of the games will be a success.

Answer

Hello Sally,

The human rights violations of the Chinese government (Tibet, Falun Dafa, working conditions) are the big problem for the people in the west, not the Olympic Games.

I personally don't know what is better. Either being really nice to the Chinese government and trying to help them become more democratic and human. Or talking about them in a bad way and showing clearly what they are doing. Well, maybe they never care about what we say, and just keep on doing their things. :-(

Good question!

Olympics are coming up soon, aren't they?

There hasn't been much "Olympic Coverage" in the USA yet.  I am sure that we'll get all "rah rah!" before too long!
