  • I remember watching this, I was like "That is amazing!!!" Than the kicker, when humans came out of those boxes, I was like "You have got to be s**ting me! This was man made?!?!?!" London you have A LOT to live up to. One of the best opening ceremonies I have ever seen!

  • well compared to this, london is going to be just mediocre

  • @Jimmyretired Damn, you are racist.

  • Oh my god. The aliens really exist!!!!

  • 4:48 Death To Family

    6:38 Commentators Laugh!

    For The Lulz.

  • 4:47 THEY MESSED UP! hahaha

  • 90% of Chinese people in rural China still live in mud brick houses & huts with no electricity nor running water TODAY!! Wake up junior.

  • @88nbean When you say "TODAY" did you mean hundreds years ago???? LOL

    Take a tour to China - wherever, and eat your own words.

  • @88nbean that depends on how you define rural. now the rual population is decreasing. sure they exist. but why donnot you see the accomplishment of the nation? when you say something, you have to think more about it

  • 1. this is not an opening ceremony it is a a ritual summoning for FLAMING DRAGON!

    2. at 4:48 and 6:38 mistakes were made. - Their families were killed, for the shame, that they brought, upon all of CHINA!

  • @bballplayer3064 Great jokes... You're making me laugh. Apparently you didn't know China at all.

  • Londons opening ceremony will involve a few ethnic 'minorities' getting shot then a burning bus followed by jellied eels. You southern pricks can keep it. It's not the uk Olympics it's the London Olympics. Enjoy the joke that these people will make of the rest of the uk.

  • My chinese teacher made me watch this in class

  • @KangSKYE02 "made" you watch it? Are you kidding me?! The chinese riased the bar when it comes to Olympic Opening cermonies. Thier performance will go down in history for the incredible job they did. I wouldn't be surprised if any other country couldn't top what they did!

  • london will be better

  • @juniorgunner123 Don't try it. I'm from London and even I know it will be shit. London could never pull anything like this off...

  • @juniorgunner123 Don't make me laugh. The West hasn't accomplished anything until the 1800's. Where were they before then?? Living in mud huts and rotting stone castles. China was, is, and always will be the greatest Empire the world has ever seen.

  • @aa3gunner china is third world, in fact asia is backward in innovation and technology, England on the other hand had the biggest empire and we colonised asia and control you and invented more than china

  • @Jimmyretired Oh..... that's why Asia is one of the biggest contributors of technology in the world today? Hyundai, daewoo, kia, honda, toyota, nissan, lexus, are horrible vehicles? Is that why Korea already has robots serving as waiters and waitresses in some restaurants? Is that why Japan created Asimo- the first self-aware robot? Half the tech in the world is from Asia! Let's go back in time. China already invented guns, cannons, and rockets when Europe was jousting Knights in tin can armor!

  • @aa3gunner japan has been colonised, also chinese people are just slaves, my business imports plastic toys mass produced from china for pennies and i sell them for 100 quid a pair, you people are just slaves for the whiteman now stop being jealous because we rule the world and you will always be a third world asian slave

  • @Jimmyretired: Out of the 15 best city skylines, 7 are Asian. The best technology in the world is Asian. Both Japan, South Korea, Singapore, Taiwan, and China are first-world and highly-developed countries. NOW WATCH:

    /watch?v=U2KetwK1_Ek.

    And eat your words.

  • @aa3gunner im off to the pub with the lads, I got no time to watch chinese propanganda pal, you should be grateful we allow you to live here in our country,

    see my brother USERNAME/

    TRUEANGLO

    He talks about the asian people and how they are cheats

  • @Jimmyretired It ain't propaganda, doofus, It's an American broadcast on current events.

    You just can't admit that Asia is bringing the West to its knees. Our civilizations have been the most wealthy and sophisticated for thousands of years. The West has only risen to power 250 years ago. That's pathetic. You're jealous we're getting all the hi-tech innovations to society. South Korea alone is working on getting robots in every household by 2020. Soon, you'll be Asia's bitch.

  • @Jimmyretired if you hate Asians then why do business with them? try to not contanct those asians and see how can you survive. donnot buy any asian products! and by the way, is that super fat guy you? you should think that you are flattered if i call you fat.

  • @Jimmyretired Haha..Korea, Japan, Thailand, and most of China had never even been colonized. The British overwhelmed the Chinese at a time when they were under economic depression and civil war. Had not for their struggles, Britain would have never taken China.

    China sailed the world decades before Europe on Imperial Treasure ships 10x larger than the Santa Maria with a fleet larger than the world had ever seen. Europeans are pathetic.

    /watch?v=U2KetwK1_Ek

  • @aa3gunner if we are pathetic how come we rule the world today? China and asia are third world and have no influence, we conqurered everyone

    stop being jealous because asia is shit, lots of my mates from the pub visit asia once a year to have sex with those young females, thats all asia has to offer

  • @Jimmyretired The West only entered the big picture 200 years ago. Civil wars, political turmoil in Asia allowed the west to catchup after hundreds of years. In 10 years, Mandarin will be the new international language. China already has the world's fastest supercomputer and largest economy, Japan created the first self aware robot, and South Korea is planning to have their own robots in every household by 2020.

    JUST WATCH THIS AMERICAN PRESENTATION

    /watch?v=U2KetwK1_Ek

  • @aa3gunner Just stop quarrel with that pathetic racist. His history knowledge is not enough for him to understand how history and culture changes. Whatever he must be a loser in his life, so don't be angry with him.

  • @Jimmyretired So do you want me to say thats all the west have in their heads? Sex?

  • @Jimmyretired You bring disgrace to your country!

  • bangsa china telah menunjukkan kebesarannya dengan kebudayaannya yg berumur lebih dari 5000 tahun, very nice....

  • I dont wanna be mean, but why do they have Big Ass Flowers On Their Heads?

  • @PincodeNumber666

    I guess you should ask someone who lived in ancient China, 2000 years ago...

  • @cnhawkxyy Im not in touch with my inner self haha

  • @PincodeNumber666 that's probably for aesthetics of the performance but long ago, Chinese scholars wear elegant headdress to signify their elevated social standing

  • we Chinese people are peaceful and love foreign visitors. I am glad so many visitors liked the olympics and helped the world keep the olympic spirit high!!!! We love the world!!!

  • Perfect!!!

  • we meet again 240p......

  • @thelilgamerful boy. you people on youtube really know how to be original, dont ya

  • I think it's hard to feel the excitement and hope that was bared in this opening ceremony if you do not know how long we Chinese have waited for this moment.

  • if one messes up their family is killed

  • @fear123wz don't be a hater.

  • Good luck London XD

  • Long live China!

  • those costumes the guys with the feather hats were wearing looked awesome! kinda seemed like fog on the bottom

  • So cute when they pop out and wave!

  • Exactly 3 years ago today! 8/8/08

  • Amazing!

  • God bless GREECE and CHINA for the best olympics EVER !

  • vast supreme China :)

  • this insanely beautiful.

  • AND JUST THINK THEY ARE GETTING STRONGER WHILE WE GET WEAKER.

  • I don't know how any other country is gonna top this...

  • Danm tgat was allot of racket near - to the end

  • Fear leads to hate, hate leads to suffering, fuck you china!

  • @billbrazky racist much?

  • ppl said the chinese proverb when start."朝闻道zhao wen dao,夕死可矣xi si ke yi"it's mean “Understand the truth in the morning, then in the evening did not regret dying”(google translate)

    when 1:45 the word is  ”和“type from the old chinese history and type change.it's mean "peace,sum,summation,mix,toget­her,blend,chime in,draw,tie,compose a poem in reply,join in the singing,write a poem in reply,harmonious,kind"

  • "和"which word means: sum peace summation 动词 mix blend chime in draw tie compose a poem in reply join in the singing write a poem in reply 形容词 harmonious kind 副词 together 连词 and
  • People of China Republic has such a great unity. I can't believe what i saw. How can they practiced this performance? It was required such a great unity of all performer and only China can do that. my god... unbelievable

  • OH MY GODDDDDDDDDDDDD all the square tubes is controlled one by one with a a man????????????? At first I thought it was a computer graphic or something like that. But when all men show up after performance, wowwwww speechless

  • even though many indians view china as a staunch competetor, i personally appreciate the dragon and its hardworking people. China is great and it deserves the dignity it owns today. No other host could've managed a ceremony of this standard. Go on dragon, we luv u. India and the world is with you.

  • @iloveicecreamsy2k Yeah, tell that to the people lined up and shot in the side of a ditch, with no trial, for trying to speak out against their government. I'm sure they think China is a wonderful place.

  • @iloveicecreamsy2k Thank you for saying so. I hope everyone can learn and know much about China rather than treat us like monsters. There are so many misunderstanding between us. We are peaceful and we have experience hundreds of years war and unrest. I believe nobody like us wish the world stay peaceful. Thank you again. China and the world is with you.

  • @iloveicecreamsy2k

    Wonderfully put....Beijing Olympics were the best in the history of the Olympics. They set the bar for ingenuity and perfection, really really really high!

  • im chinese and i cant understand a word they are saying, but i dont care, it sounds and looks cool

  • so many jealous white people here. Having fun lynching poor black people? Hypocrites

  • I've seen all the Olympic opening ceremonies since 1996. The best Olympic opening ceremony so far, honestly.

  • This makes me wanna do a chinese poo

  • 我感到无比的骄傲。

    永远爱国。

  • England's gonna have to do a LOT of work to beat that!!!

  • Holy shit. How are we going to top this?! Amazing.

  • this sends shivers down my spine

  • 我爱这个开幕式!

  • idc if their communist. Im well damn proud of my country's history and their performance here. Watch out London!

  • I remember watching this and thinking how intimidating how in unison and perfectly timed it all was

  • even better than the DPRK arirang ceremonies

    

  • Fine, China gets what it wanted: I'm fucking impressed.

  • unbelievable.....

  • i saw these directly and i remember that i was completely kinf of goosebumps cause it was amaizing! :D wonderfull

  • Chinese can do such big scale performances because the blood runs in them. Long ago in Imperial China, such performances occur during major festivals in the palaces. Well done!

  • @singaporeanjosin, during the cultural revolution, they had much better performance--they would kill capitalists with firing squad.

  • @billjesusgates thats how many coutries did it. Nationlists had firing squads on communism, vice versa. If people were to stop all work in America, demand communist, pour out into the streets. You thing the prez and congress would allow communist to take over? Neverless, China hasn't have much civil disturbances recently, though I agree a few more freedom liberties could be given to people.

  • This ceremony was by far the best. Go China!

  • @arzgania not even close to athens' open ceremony .

  • those 3 people better not go to China... they know what's coming for them

  • @theDMskategroup better yet, those are the planners for 2012 London. So far they got some balloons and flowers... ...

  • @CoupDeGrace888 lmao

  • The opening ceremony from Greece was the best.

  • @Pedroetbdf what's the point of the Greece vs China? does that not defeat the spirit of Olympics? this is not a competition of who is better, besides it is a partial personal judgment anyway.

  • @Pedroetbdf shut up racist

  • Comment removed

  • @holkn how was that racist, he said that opening ceremony of greece is just better

  • Just ignore the stupid comments from those idiots, we know why one third of the Europe is close to go bankruptcy? There are too many lazy morons!

  • Did you guys spot the mistake at 4:48? Whoever was in that box probably got jailed.

  • @PurgePhantom u r really humorous, seriously, jail??

  • @MsAcangie Yes that was a joke. That man is probably doing fine. However, China is still an authoritarian country that has no business standing next to countries which exemplify democratic ideals such as the USA, western european nations, Japan, South Korea, and Australia. China has been a bad boy, and if they don't change their ways, we will put them in time out soon enough.

  • guy messed up at 4:48. sucks to be that guy

  • While people on board of the European ships that traveled around the world developed scurvy due to vitamin C deficiency (because of lack of fresh vegetables and fruits on board during the long journeys), people on those Chinese fleets led by Zheng He did not develop scurvy, because the Chinese brought beans on board from which they raised bean sprouts, thus making their own vegetables on board. =)

  • There are many precedents set by the Chinese in history. A book written by Song Ci during the Song Dynasty "Washing Away of Wrongs" (Xi Yuan Lu) is an early work in history on the field of forensic science! =) And if we think Christopher Columbus traveled around the world, think also of Zheng He (a court eunuch) during the Ming Dynasty who traveled around the world as well. =)

  • A country made up of 56 tribes integrating different religious beliefs and cultural influences, not unlike the United States....... Any country can be tyrannic when its internal stability is threatened. =) It's a matter of degree of hypocrisy! =)

  • A country made up of 56 tribes integrating different religious beliefs and cultural influences, not unlike the United States....... Any country can be tyrannic when its internal stability is threatened. =)

  • I saw clips of the Seoul or Tokyo Olympic opening ceremonies, and indeed you are right, the Beijing ceremony tops them all. China has been and is still a superpower in the world. One of the surviving ancient civilizations and throughout history, it has been influential around its neighboring countries.  It is not as tyrannic as it seems, since if it can keep in pace with the world ever since the dawning of its culture, it's more open to new ideas than we think! =)

  • @MrGrevy u mean u????

  • @MrGrevy ^_^ just let other people judge who is a moron. it's none of ur f**king business since u do not live in China and no nothing about China. At least we r all peaceful person unlike u people, starting wars, killing people in other countries.

  • @MsAcangie China is peaceful?? Lol ask the man holding the plastic bag in front of the tank at tiananmen square you sicko. Your "people" have no respect for life, human or otherwise. Murdering bunch of sickos. Eaten any fetuses lately??

  • @MsAcangie china is the most violent dangerous state in history of mankind. its communist gov't under mao killed more than 80 million people, that's more than hitler and stalin combined. its 60 years history, china invaded korea, vietnam, pakistan, india, russia, mongolia, and tibet.

  • @billjesusgates hmm what about alexander the great? what about napoleon? what about the british empire? hmm...

  • @uhihyigtuuoj hmmm, what's your point? are you saying that china is an imperialist power? does maoist guerrillas in jungles around the world know about this?

  • @uhihyigtuuoj We're talking about the present, I didn't know Napoleon was still invading Russia at this moment or Alexander still was conquering India.

  • @gaastra12 is china invading korea, vietnam, pakistan, india, russia, mongolia at the moment? we are talking about the present are we not? are those not in the past? sorry did not understand your argument or where you are trying to go with your statement

  • @uhihyigtuuoj China delivers nuclear weapons to north Korea and Iran. Guess you can call that evil, right? I love China you know, and it's people, they are all good caring people, but the communist government shows small things that show how they aren't all so nice you know, and I don't like that, because as I said, China is a beautiful country.. It's sad those Japanese brutal barbarians murdered out the imperial family of China..

  • @MrGrevy don't b jealous just cuz ur life sux

  • @ Keliiholokai89

    Well the Athens olympic ceremony defenately did before

  • this is good. but not as good as during the cultural revolution. mao had the audience crying. you would cry too, if you were caught not clapping, you would have been shot.

  • @billjesusgates are u trying to be sarcastic or funny? sorry i cant get u. But do move on, cause we have moved on.

  • In the beginning, it sounded like they were saying, "I love cheese!" XDD

  • not a fan of chinese policies but i do like their culture

    awesome formation as expected

    wish i cud have seen it live

  • down voted for poor image quality... someone pls point me to a proper HD version.

  • @sixdegreeable go fuck yourself

  • pha..........arada.....india basteds......?.....

  • @tonesofheart28 hey wat the hell r u saying

  • o cmmon.lets appreciate indians ,offcourse they cant compete with Glorius China.But still theyve managed to put up a good show (more than the available ability and capacity)at the CWG 2010.They tried, and will come up with something better next time .But China - YOU ROCK ! you are the best in pagentry you always gove the best show (ever !!!),no doubt about tht , you guys are natural .I love china.PAK-CHIN yoi wanyuhay

  • chinese are the best!!!

  • All of the comments below are from US people.. you're making the US look foolish. Your ignorance and enjoyment of spreading hate in the world is a disgrace to the human race. Please STFU already and watch the video.

  • @bhasinuscuscable oye mother fucking cunt, aukaat mein reh, saale apni gaand chinese gay ko di hain toone pakka, chutiye

  • @nm380 i know the strength of old indian culture . the ancient rulers of india lost their gaint kingdoms to small muslims army .. even now every state in india from kashmir in north , punjab in west , the north eastern part of india touching the parts of china to kerala in south every state wants to be separated from india and form their independent nation coz indian democracy is made of bloody corrupt bureacrats and they have realized that their future is in dark with india !!!!!!!!

  • @ApproachWithCaution Hahaha don't make me laugh, well never top this. Our nation is in debt! And anyway china owns all end of.

  • ASOMBROSO!, LA INAUGURACION DE LAS OLIMPIADAS DE BEIJING SERÁN SIEMPRE RECORDADAS POR LAS GRANDES MASAS HUMANAS QUE INTERVINIERON EN EL ESCENARIO OLIMPICO Y LA TECNOLOGÍA UTILIZADA QUE SE REFLEJA EN LA GRAN CANTIDAD DE EFECTOS ESPECIALES QUE TUVO. FUERZA EXPRESIVA Y EMOCIONES A TODO DAR DESDE EL INICIO HASTA EL FINAL DEL ACTO. FELICITACIONES AL PUEBLO CHINO POR SU GRAN CAPACIDAD PARA SORPRENDER AL MUNDO.

  • London does not have enough MONEY to top this! Do some research into how much money is needed to host a event like this..

  • London could easily top it. We could just bring out all the inventions us Brits have made over the years one by one. That would be half the ceremony done with right there. Then just name all the countries we used to rule as part of the Empire. That would be the other half done with and then we can get on with the country procession. Many of which have the Union flag in their corners anyway.

    Of course, we won't do this as it's not PC. Other nations don't like how powerful we have been.

  • @ApproachWithCaution London could NOT top Beijing. Beijing is untoppable. And I say that as an Englishman. The ching chongs under communism are the best organisers in the world, bar none.

  • @ApproachWithCaution No british history is very short and vapid compare to chinese magnificent history. China already had civilization and lots of inventions when british were still barbarian. No doubt china experienced trough hundred year ago but it doesn't mean it will be stagnant forever.

  • great ceremony i really enjoyed it! (i am an indian)

  • This is a marvelous show, there is artistic value in every detail ....

  • london will undoubtedly aim low and david cameron would do whatever he can to make a cheap ceremony off peoples pockets. i would only expect red buses, chavs doing their stuff, david beckham kicking a ball and paul mccartney or cliff richard singing an old tune.lol I mean british culture is rather plain

  • India did well in the opening. I think someone people always try to bring instability in Asia. These people include Asians and non-Asians. Asians usually are the one(s) which invaded other countries like Philippines, Indonesia, Hong Kong, Taiwan, Singapore, China and more. Non-Asians are the ones which do not want Asian countries to rise. Put attention to those countries! They are the trouble makers of all time in the past 200 years! BEWARE!

  • @meijibig more like about 12000 b.c. ago.. during the dynasty!! lol

  • @meijibig haha.... can't believe this comment

  • @electronxxxxxxxxkhan MAJORITY WOULD DISAGREE BOTH WERE AWESOME , IN THEIR OWN UNIQUE WAY..U REALLY HAVE TO UNDERSTAND THE MEANING BEHIND EACH AND VERY COLOUR, LIGHTING , DRESSCODE, ETC BEFORE U MAKE JUDGEMENTS .........PEACE

  • this show is a part of history and records which can not be repeated again .. indian cwg ceremony was a circus show where manner less crowd gathered to see the ceremony . they were not letiing prince charles speak his speech . indians should feel proud because they rarely get chances to see huge performances in their life and they are 50 years behind devepolment and china !

  • @1991siddhant oye mother fucking cunt, aukaat mein reh, saale apni gaand chinese gay ko di hain toone pakka, chutiye

  • @nm380 ur father is an asshole who brought you on earth ! u son of a bitch !what is good about old indian culture which doesnt even teaches u to keep ur place clean which has made the society corrupt and divided the large no of uneducated and educated people on the basis of caste and religion and which has dragged india light years behind other nations .indians are just good at boasting on their small achievments and creating large tons of yellow shit !!!!!!!!!!!

  • @1991siddhant oye madarchod, tere baaap aur poora khandaan auto fellatio se apni hawas mitta raha hain, i will cunt kick n fuck ur entire ugly mother fucking family esp ur whore mother n slutty sis, u brainless dick, u r not even indian i m sure of tht, jaa madarchod chutiye pakistani wahi apni gaand maraaaa sale choot ke pakode

  • @1991siddhant no comparisons, the chinese were simply the best and this jealous hindu indian bastards are jealous that there delhi commonwealth opening ceremony(no talent, souless show, full of gay dances) was the worst ceremony ever.and nothing in front of the beijing ceremony so they are abusing chinese....

  • Why are you comparing the CWG to the Olympics?

    You do know that the Olympics are at a larger scale.

    I dont care who put on a better performance, it was to show case their might and pride.

    Dont turn everything into a compitetion.

  • @nm380 .. Yeah . why are you comparing the CWG to the Olympics ..? .. its a different league mate ... and don't you realise that India will never get the Olympics after this ... no matter even if the next ten days go smoothly?

    .. I know India wants to show the world they are the best in everything (its all over the net from the NEW indians) .. but i dont know of anyone on this world that is more dillusional of their fake grandeur

  • Comment removed

  • @nm380 you know everybody has been accepting of the indain CWG opening games ceremony but because of what you just said i think you just shamed your entire contry

  • @nm380 hey man i am a hindu and i dnt know why u are fighting with our asian brothers i think both ceremonies were good and ....dnt be proud of india if u cannot follow any of gandhi's ways/teachings ...every nation on this earth and beyond is equally great in its own unique way.....a true indian is peacefull not one who can jst act and look like one...a tru indian is who follows gandhi afterall gandhi made INDIA... and i apologise to any chinese brothers of mine nm380 might have offended.....

  • @wetcar456 oye mother fucking cunt, aukaat mein reh, saale apni gaand chinese gay ko di hain toone pakka, chutiye, saale i m in oz at d moment otherwise i wud hv fucked u like no one

  • @nm380 if India is so great, why don't you live there instead of australia? Also i would rather not hear about your homoerotic fantasies, so please keep them to yourself.

  • @nm380 hahha dude u calling me gay ....dude u jst said u wanted to fu*k me .....look at wat ur saying before u mindlessly abuse others.....and btw im across da ditch ....ill be waiting for u ....ps ur a disgrace to the hindu religion\ India but thats ohk ull learn ur lesson some day...enjoy...

  • @nm380 ur fucking commonwealth ceremony was nothing but all hindu gay bharatnatyam gay dances...and a fucking gay ballon...in which 3000 hindu whore goddeses were dancing naked...full high definition porn movie.....shittty hindu...shitty delhi commonwealth..

  • @javed2783 lol
