I guess we are all aware that the Chinese do about everyhting that the world thinks they do no wrong and treat the human rights fair and that China is one of the best places to leave.
First they wanted us to believe that the Tibet people are wrong and evil. Well they pretty much convinced their own people, but not the world. Then they are doing a censorship of human rights, despite their promises to improve the human rights situation before the olympic games. The departments of propaganda and public security and the cyber-police, all conservative bastions, implement censorship with scrupulous care.
Now a news story (from newspaper “Beijing Shibao”) broke that the fireworks at the opening ceremony were faked and played into the live footage. How much longer do you want to be fooled by such ignorant people?
Do not support the China government in this manner anymore. Don’t be blind and believe the hype. You can now demonstrate online against the wrong doing.

then what do you say about IOC and Georgia Russia war. Shouldn’t Russia be disqualified?
At the end of the day, if everybody does nothing and just laments about the situation, then nothing will ever change.
Nations, people and individuals that disregard human rights should not be given the possibility to host public recognized events such as the Olympic games.
In that regard, yes, we should not put up with this situation anymore and act now. Stand up for your/our rights.
How do you ‘fake’ a fireworkls display? With all the people who wre in the stadium and reportedly around the stadium to see the Opening Ceremonies, if it was ‘faked’, you’d think we would hear about it from more than one source.
I love the Olympics, always have. I don’t like that they have become so politicized. In this debate about whether or not China should have been chosen to host the games, one thing I have not heard mentioned is the possibility that the games, and with the world focussing on China for 17 days, will be a catalyst for change ratherd than a reward for change.
