I haven’t been watching the Beijing Olympics. It seems that the Chinese government cannot understand marketing or public relations. Fake fireworks, lip-synced anthems, crowds bussed in to fill seats at “sold out” events… it’s a big stretch to say that these Olympics are the “best ever”.
Michael Sheridan’s article in the London Times called China’s iron Olympic grip starts to slip is a good summary of the problems China’s government has created for itself.
