    chinas still changing so stop bringing the past into this stuff

    sure theres communism still in china, but not many of it.

    so stop arguing and keep it to urself

  • KJohnson019: "Stop arguing and keep it to yourself" is such a totalitarian statement. When an honest person sees injustice, the right course of action is to bring attention to it and try to get something done about it. "Keeping it to yourself" out of fear of offending someone, or worse, punishment, is pure cowardice.

  • dumb

  • I am an American trained Chinese-American architect. I am 71 years old. I worked for I.M.Pei, Skidmore,Owings & merrill, architects,etc. I like most of the new buildings in Beijing very much! except the CCTV! My reasons are many; the asymmetrical design, after billions spent on beefing up the structure, still an unstable building that will collapse during the next earthquake! That is my professional opinion!- George Wu,A.I.A. 2008-8-16---dancewu(dot)net

  • I'm with you on the CCTV ones. Having to live 1 mile from it and see it every night.. nightmare...

  • sorry,forgive me that i say this.

  • soinlove: Do not be sorry to express how you felt! Speak your mind! You are only 21 years old from China; and I am a 71 years old Chinese- American. I have been the Second world War, I have witnessed the ugly side of human nature! Too said to say that I still do these days! I supposed Darwin was right!---dancewu(dot)net

  • I'm a brit and i like the olympic stadium but i prefer tha water cube... it's much more innovative!

  • 北京

  • to me ,a chinese .i am very tired to listen to your boring words.you hate us, ok ,i know ,then ,please be quiet

  • No they're jealous of you guys, I mean the ones who repeatedly slandering China and Chinese people, no matter what you do ... only shows they're jealous of the rising China. Any change takes time, in my opinion China has come a long way, and you guys are doing many wonderful things too! I hope more people will focus on the positive than the negative.

  • brettishfan: Who is "slandering" China? If the government is still imprisoning and torturing people for crimes of conscience, then it should be noted. If the same government has been shown to be dishonest, then how is it to be believed when it tries to deny such crimes.

  • yerks3: And all the above mentioned (by you) are not happening in any other countries, especially yours? Please increase your knowledge on your own government's doings first, if you must the negative parts of other societies. The fact is China is the only large country in the world, that has been staying together with over 56 ethnic groups through many upheavals for the last 5000 years of history, to have watched China's recent changes against many odds is truly remarkable.

  • brettishfan: And what makes you think I agree with everything my own government is doing? Listen, being from a country doesn't mean you have to support everything that country does. We aren't the Borg, we don't all think alike. Just to clear things up, I am actually against nationalism and the idea of nations. People should consider themselves as citizens of the world, not of arbitrary nations, and hate pretty much everything the U.S. government is doing.

  • i don't uhderstand what you say so ??

    i am chinese girl ,l love my country !

    if you don't a real china ,don't say it!!

  • willpaner: I wish I could say that it's good to love your country, but the value of patriotism is long past. It is a vice that only feeds into nationalism, and people turning a blind eye to the crimes of those in power, all in the name of "love of country." This is the 21st century, people need to think of themselves as human first, not as members of nations. This provincial mentality has to be shed in order for our species to survive the next century.

  • yerk3: thank you for your reply! but,i don't think that was a narrow nationalism .i think you have misunderstood our feelings.you know,

    Chinese people's respect for the world, like the Olympic slogan of the same: One World, One Dream!I am angry to see that many foreigners do not understand China always surprised by the publication of some of the comments!maybe,i speek rude language yesterday ,i am soory ~!

    Ps: my english is not good ,can you understand ? o(∩_∩)o...

  • americans dont understand china because americans are bunch of dumbasses that goes with anything the media says

  • @blipbaii It's very foolish to judge a whole nation from some narrow view point you have grown into. That is the very opposite of eastern wisdom. Maybe you should learn more from Lao Tzu and Buddha.

  • Mr. MANABU KATO is an asshole reporter from JAPAN doing a poor job in the Beijing Olympics. He makes JAPAN and JAPANESE people look bad.

    The JAPANESE should take him back to JAPAN and shun him.

  • when you don't know China ,plz shut your mouth and show your respect ! appreciate you again !

  • come on guys ,think with your head instead of your mouth !tks a lot,I'll appreciate you when you get wiser !!

  • plz shut up your fucking mouth,and enjoy the olympic games.

    chinese pepole are very friendly to ther friends

    China is get more and more stronger,we must accept the reality instead of abusiving and belittling! Only recognize the gap with China,you guys can understand how China and chinese pepole are very great!they are successful!!

    Your country have taught you that China is evil or such like this....but,you guys really believe that ??? If you believe your country and you are idiots !

  • when will China collapse,just after olympic games?

  • what makes you hate China so much? have you ever been there?

  • They want to make us believe China is the future but 5 other enormous economic powers are rising: the European Union, the North American Union, India, Russia and Brasil!

  • China is the way to go !

  • and Vietnam, really! i am serious, we're building the world's biggest Airport atm,

  • chinese buildings, european and american architects...

  • 评论是不干预

  • likemop - Comment is not intervention!

  • Polution - number one export from China...

  • you from US? US is the greatest CO2 exporter in the world!!!

  • then dont be a separatist

  • 干预其他国家的内政并不是一个正人君子的做法!中国人都不希望国­家分裂,如果他们感觉生活不够好,我们会想办法去改善!

  • the comment you express was right!1

  • espectacular!!

  • what the F does that have to do with big buildings?

  • it's just clouds sky!!!! You insane!!!! Don't get confused between fog and smog!!!!!

  • Chinese are so great!

  • it's a vibrant city, absolutly

  • cool man!!

  • wellcome to china!

  • 支持中国

  • Beijing was my home. Love this show!

  • 支持中国.支持北京奥运

  • oh so many awsome buildings but i have to say the national theatre and the birds nest are my favourite.

  • the CCTV was amazing

  • WOW, so proud of China~~!

  • make the world amazing,CHINA!!

  • 嗯,汉语说的不错

  • haha wtf.....

  • lol, u talk like north korea is a good, liberal country...

  • amaizing

  • it must be CNN  haha

  • a112069425: Actually, the station is called Danwei.

  • OMG, Beijing is my hometown. Looks like I'm gonna need a map when I go back this year. It's only been 4 years, but OMG look at all the changes. Can't wait can't wait ~~~

  • i visited China early this years, I loved it.

  • china is really great,i went there before,and is amazing!!!and i think the buildings just shocking!!!is awesome!!!and soo cool!!!

  • Evety govement has its problems,I think you needn't go extreems.

  • Serão os melhores Jogos Olímpicos da história!

    Serán los mejores Juegos Olímpicos de la história!

    It will be the best Olympic Games in the history!

  • Los edificios de China son muy magníficos.

  • lol. Your CTV and FOX news didn't even show the riot about Tibetan killing innocent Chinese citizens. Go search the video filmed by Michael Smith, and tell me if your so called genuine unbiased media are being truthful.

    And yes, we are not proud of our own TV news, but it's time for you to open your mind. Why are the entire Chinese people around the world supporting olympics and against hostile tibet riot? is it because we are all stupid? or is it because we have seen both sides of the story?

  • have you ever been to china?

  • Geez man... stop listening to CNN and BBC, try to watch non-political channels such as discovery and national geography to learn the REAL CHINA. There are both good and bad sides, use your head before you make such a claim.

  • ... so tell me what your documentaries tell you! i dont refer to the news but far more to channels like the ones you mentioned showin me that chinas poluted air is 4 times worse than allowed for olympic games, that poor workers (chinese guys) get exploited or for example die under a collapsing bridge when they were building it for 5€/day, that people die from food or get sick from toys (i got from news but tell me if this aint true) and what sucks most is their way of interpreting patents ...

  • fuck you asshole. CHINA IS THE BEST!!!

  • Have you ever been to China in your whole little life? If don't, then think twice next time before you wanna let out of this kind of bullshit again.

  • I agree with everything you said. But the fact is, China will soon be the #1 economic and military ( though not political) power , and so the rest of the world must be careful to engage with China, not isolate it. ie "Keep your friends close, your enemies closer".

    Also, lots of Chinese people are not at all like their government... like how not all Americans are like George W. Bush!!!

  • who's not like their government?

    I'm a Chinese and I'm happy China is what it is now (and don't even think of saying "commie" or "chink" they're just excuses)

    And we aren't enemies, we bring your inflation down, and while we are prospering we tag the world along, and what do we get? Biased news and propaganda insults

    China is only your enemy if you think it is, otherwise, we welcome you any day

  • the CCTV was amazing

  • 很好啊!奥运就要开始啦

    让世界都来欣赏东方大国的风范吧!

  •  は は  Can't wait go to Beijing 2008

  • Just was in Beijing early this year, the pollution is overwhelming. The have plans about stopping all factories 3 weeks before the olympic games and spray chemicals into the air.

    15 Million citizens is quite many eh?

  • 让他们搞去吧,他们暴力,我们就更暴力,难道西方还真能出兵?西­藏又没有石油。

    藏独还能跳几年?现在搞点什么,还有个达赖撑着,说起来也是达赖­如何如何和平,等达赖去世,藏独还能靠什么?CIA支持了这么多­年都没用,达赖没了,藏独就基本完蛋了。

    至于奥运,爱抵制抵制,youtube上就算全换成boycot­t video, 北京照样办,你爱来不来。现在哪个国家在中国没有投资?谁愿意真­的和中国撕破脸?西方的"民意"也不过就那样。

  • Please be aware the difference between chinese people and the government. Our people did nothing harmful to people in other countries. Many of us even tolerated Japanese right-wingers's enormity in China in WW2, without receving a official apology. I do not blame ordinary Japanese people for what their government did in the war. The vast majority of us are friendly and sincere, we do welcome all of you guys to enjoy in he forthcoming 2008 Beijing Olympics.

  • Pass this on in 7 days or you may die

    On March 25th, it begins.

    The Olympic Torch Relay...

    Beijing, we are ready.

  • true, and one cannot tag a whole nation without a full understanding of it.

  • waeyie: There's a difference between being blindly hateful of an entire people and criticizing the actions of a government.

  • so u think the chinese government sucks? hey, i think it's the people in the country that r the most suitable to judge the government, and most chinese people think the government did and is doing a good job coz it does make china grow stronger and stronger while the chinese people better and better, of course, many a lot of problems arise at the same time, anyway, generally, we believe in our government and respect it.

  • yerk3: so u think the chinese government sucks? hey, i think it's the people in the country that r most suitable to judge the government, and most chinese people think the government did and is doing a good job coz it does make china grow stronger and stronger while the chinese people better and better, of course, many a lot of problems arise at the same time, anyway, generally, we believe in our government and respect it.

  • waeyie: I believe another word for what you described is jingoism. Jingoism is never a good thing. All governments must be judged by all people. Secondly, the Chinese government may be bringing prosperity to some, but at what price?

  • Hey man, I don't see any relation between our policy and Jingoism, on the contrary, it's something the America is famous for. And what exactly do u want to say about the price? U think ur prosperity is based on nothing?

  • waeyie: Jingoism is exactly what it is.  Jingoism is blind, belligerent patriotism, which is what the pro-China posters on this comment section personify. I'm speaking here as a human, not as an American, and I have no love for the American government, so your "tu toque" criticisms are wholly invalid. The prosperity enjoyed by the few in China comes at the expense of the many. Ironic, that a country that calls itself communist suffers from the very ills communism was devised to alleviate.

  • i freaking love your witty videos. Keep us informed about beijing!

    To hell with the ignorant japs..they can go back and fuck their own shit economies..who cares..

  • what is your problem man

  • Umm, why are you worrying about the past?

    Vietnam and China have great relations now.

  • water cube and national theatre are cool. but cctv station might collapse. and birdnest doesnt go with the flow.

  • japaness please be quite, coz when u talk, shit increase!!!!

  • Don't appologize or say sorry for the history's mistake is japanese,not chinese

  • 我打色完你门

  • China announced the OUTRIGHT BAN on bringing foods/medicals/water into both Olympic village and arena. Many countries that will participate in Beijing Olympics planned to bring foods/medicals/water into China during Olympics because they are seriously concerned about the security of food-safety in China. The world has already realized how dangerous Chinese-made foods are. China is NOT qualified to host OLYMPICS. BOYCOTT BEIJING OLYMPICS!!

  • Like the japeese, chinese people can not appologize or say sorry for their history's mistake..

  • At lease they didn't punch you just like Singaporean. I been punch by them even just hit on shoulder.

  • You can bring your own hamburger and fries...but you need to bring the "end product" back to your Alabama cornfield too. How does that sound? mofos....

  • We Japanese speak out now that CHINA IS NOT QUALIFIED TO HOST "OLYMPICS" AT ALL. HU JINTAO is the generation leadership of the People's Republic of China. HU JINTAO was Party Chief of the Tibet from 1988 to 1992. HU JITAO suppressed the independence movement of the Tibetan people in barbarous fashion. HU JINTAO massacred 1.2 million Tibetan people in just 4 years. the The tragedy of the Tibetan people has not come to an end yet and is still going on.

  • Stupid japs get poisoned by their own criminals and are too embarassed to disclose the investigation to the joint-investigation force. Oh well, keep killing yourselvess then, like any Chinese give a fvck...

    Boycott China? Your economic growth is fully depend on Chinese market now. Wanna fvck yourself? Be my guest....

  • Japan should BAN all imports of FOODS FROM CHINA immediately. This is the true public opinion of Japanese people! To protect lives of Japanese people is just first and core responsibility of Japan's government. We Japanese are filled with resentment against Chinese-made "poisoned" meat dumplings (gyoza/jiao-zi/пельмени) . Chinese-made "poisoned" dumplings caused damage to human health of more than 5,000 people in Japan. 5 year-old girl fell into critical condition.

  • good, but you never product food..japan doesnt have any land for farming..

    you ppl will die really soon

  • temporarykins: Japan has as much farm land as it can support. It must, in order to support its population. Japan has one of the highest standards of living in Asia, so I sincerely doubt that the Japanese are in danger of starving any time soon.

  • why dont you?.. no one is forcing you to import anything right? .. if you dont.. then just stfu...

  • do you think using your kind of language will help the situation?

  • Juan Antonio Samaranch has said the Beijing games will be "the best in Olympic history."

    Ban Ki-moon has said the Beijing Games will bring much spirit, harmony, friendship, dialogue and reconciliation for the world.

    Jacques Rogge has said the Beijing Games are stronger than any individual!

    I say the PHOENIX from EAST will put the Olympic Fire to the Beijing Games!

    PS: I believe that the stadium name of "Bird's nest" is not for nothing!

  • says my US PROF: 5. I completely agree with your view of the Dalaï Lama. I have been saying it for years: The guy is a flake. Tibet was a theocracy ruled by monks - how's that any better than Islamic theocracies for the West, I don't know. Now, frankly, I am not sure I like what China did there either, but clearly, an idealisation of the buddhist regime is misplaced.

  • prety good ,it means CCTV just like a great asshole

  • Good job, Jeremy and Danwei. I love your videos about Beijing. I can't wait to visit Beijing this summer! Shame on those ignorant westerners who believe Tibet is a nation. It had never been free before PRC took it over from ROC(Republic of China)...learn the history.

  • what the purpose of Olympic game ?? and what are you guys doing here ??

  • great buildings..hats off to the courage and spirit of the Chinese people

    -from Gurgoan,India

  • 有这么一撮子外国人就看不得中国好,连建设与拆迁都能联想到政治­上去,去他吗的比来!看得懂中文嘛,狗日的!

    don't care those foreign fuckers!especially jap,vietnam,turk,and taiwan province.

  • In China there isn't much Tax... USA has like 10 times more which sux...

    People around always say China is Communist but the fact is it really isn't.

    read some newspapers please...

    we don't attack other countries and have people killed around for Oil lol

  • That microphone is awfully furry and large!! :) Amazing architecture.

  • haha you are so ignorant... you must be an american. the reason why chinese people dont complain is because the government controls all the media. (comunist country.. duh) and they may say they are a comunist country but the whey they handle their economy is of a non-comunist country... read some newspapers please...

  • lol,what a fool you are to believe what newspapers said! They only tell you what they want you to 'know'.

  • has anyone wondered why the Chinese people don't complain about the government? because they are satisfied. yes, the communists might limit some freedoms but they also improve the standards of living so much more in other ways. that's the truth, the lives of people in China have gotten BETTER since 1949. it's always the people who have never been to the country that feel the need to complain :/

    as for beijing 2008 olympics, i want to see the games! it will be very impressive i'm sure

  • also, the chinese government never said it doesn't plan to eventually move towards democracy in the future, it's just the current situation that they feel the country can develop faster through communism, and in a way, they're right.

    how do you know there won't be democracy later?

    the olympic games are always fun. support beijing 2008!

  • I'm very much in agreement with you apeppler. Changes take time, especially with such a large country and over 50 ethnic dialects, not to mention how they managed to still stay together for 5000 years, and making huge progresses in all industries as one nation, no any other countries in the world has been able to do so, it's a country deserves to be cherished more than criticised unthoughtfully, like many do here on youtube.

  • cctv building steel structure has almost completed,the "bird's nest" is busy with the inner decorating,the "big egg" has olready put on show.

  • Diaoyu island and East China sea is China's terrority.

  • FREE OKINAWA

    FREE ALASKA

    FREE Falkland Islands

    FREE IRAQ

    FREE Hawaii

    THE Tokyo should be FREE from Jap,

    and the Fishing Island needs to be return back to China.

  • peacefulchina: WTF? Okinawa has always been closer to Japan than to any other country, has been a Japanese territory for centuries, and is culturally similar to Japan. Japan does not control Alaska or Hawaii, those are U.S. states. Nor does Japan have anything to do with Iraq.

  • well, tibet, which has been a chinese territory for 1822 years, how about that??

  • morningcoast: The Tibetans still deserve the right to self-determination.

  • yerk3: yeah... you go tell Japanese that the Okinawa deserve the right to self-determination. it's like tell Hawaii to self-rule... impossible... you keep wet-dreaming!

  • redse2000: Hawaii should have self rule. The coup at the turn of the century was a criminal endeavor engineered to secure the profits of American sugar companies.

  • yerk3: There is a fine line between the right to self-determination and mutany. Dalai Lama was in fact supported by USA CIA thru the National Endowment for Democracy fund. He commits both mutany and treason and should be hang!!

  • I wonder if he is chinese or not.

  • that was good. those buildings will be demoished in 50 years if the world doesn't end first. bladerunner indeed.

    I need to watch that film again....

  • whoever boycott Olympics/free Tibet are brainwashed idiots. They probably have never been to Tibet of China. Before PLA took it over, Tibet was still a state of SLAVERY. Dalai Lama and his followers used to be slave masters. Drums in temples were made of human skins, punishment included eye gouging....Tibetans had never been free. But now they are having more freedom than ever. U mother f*ckers need to learn the history before spreading your shit everywhere!

  • 你们反对与否都没有什么大碍!我们没有求你们来!特别是那些台独­狗与日本支那!千万不要来!看到你们就恶心!

  • ?!?!

  • I'm just helping out vincentsidney with the translation here, johnldai is referring to the ones who are criticizing China, wanting to boycott the Bei Jing Olympic, he said without the support of them the Olympic will still happen in Beijing ... which it did, and the opening was beautiful as you can see. My translation is not great, but hope it helps.
