  • really good video! Thanks for sharing :)

  • @chandranale I dont appreciate you calling my house and saying I am a faggot. I am going to kick your butt buddy. 

  • China cheated, one guy shot a US coach, another US guy was shot, and most importantly, China is a Communist Dictatorship, emphasis on "Dic"!

  • ONLY CHINA CAN BEAT CHINA!!!

  • China beating USA on medals table is unfair!!! USA won on the major events athletism, basket, swimming! chinese people are winning on lame sport nobody watch like badminton, gym or ping pong!

  • china do great job but ceremony from Greece and Sydney is the best until now

    they don't show culture only technology i sleep in the half on ceremony

    is bad for the people how wanna travel to china only for technology cause that the china people pass outside , they saw the technology out side and nothing else and its bad this and ofc don't want to talk for democracy .........

  • china 1 rest of the world 0

  • greece was much better!!!

  • @niki1mimikou, are you living inside the well? Jump out Mr. Frog and open your eyes to see the world.

  • Welcome to china.

  • In 7-25-92, Spain made up the difference

  • Most of Chinese people were very friendly, how about other countrys? You have to self-examination . I think one world , one dream will not far from us any more. IF some 'Human Rights countrys' dont make any wars. The world will be peace and peace.

  • @Waynehwang17 WOW what a idiot. They still stone each other.

  • rofl u see the guys in the back when the other guy was getting interviewed

  • I had my 13's birthday at 08.08.08r. xDDDD

  • if you dont like china, just go to china and have a look

    you will know how friendly chinese people are and how wonderful this country is.

    this time, beijing has done a GREAT job and UK should try really hard to catch up.

    2008 forever! beijing forever!

  • @IceBloose what have the UK to saw? and what to catch up from china?the technology you mean? that is the opening ceremony for you? technology ceremony you have no idea for Olympics i think

  • @mixalis221 i dont think technology is the main theme at beijing's opening ceremony. as a matter of fact, china used actual people to show these computer-generated scenes. it was their hard work, not tech. it was the display of chinese culture, history and customs fascinated me. i mean, we have seen UK's 10 mins at the closing ceremony, and it wasnt the best they could do. i was just hoping that they could do a better job in 2012. i love UK, i used to live there. there's no way i would mock UK.

  • @IceBloose i like uk to...but i think the best olympics until now is from greece.....had the perfect spirit...and the o.g started there

    but i wish to UK good luck

    :)

  • london will do a rubbish show on the olympics china did a better on all england can think about is fish and chips yochshire pudding

  • I am an American! God Bless America.. I do hav to admit that I dont enjoy ppl here trash'n China & so much of it, due to the western media, I AGREE! The media does hav sumth'n to do with politics in some ways & it does affect the views of ppl. Pity that I see our media is being bias to some countries which is a competitor or feels that th'rs a threat to us. The 1st president of USA went to convince China to open its doors to the world, so they hav! STOP the racial comments & negativity on CHINA

  • I agree with U. But west media always seen China with discrimination. Lots of messages were unrealistic. Their behavior were irresponsible.

  • It's time for the westerm media to show their ugly faces

  • The ironic thing about the Olympics is that every time it comes around, there's always the issue of discrimination and unfair competition. Yet the Olympics were meant to be fair competition and for countries to put aside their differences and participate together. For e.g. gymnasts being to young to compete. People discriminate against the Chinese and claim they cheated and see them as inferior compared to others. This just contradicts the whole concept of the Olympics

  • jossjoah: Sounds more like sore losers to me.

  • watch?v=1UEOZGFzPas

  • It kind of feels like others are trying to bring down China is different ways. First there was the Tibet issue, then there was about too much pollution. Since obviously those "issues" couldn't bring down China, the only way was to find loops in the Olympics to bring them down. There was argument about how China counted medals (they count by the number of golds, not by total), then there was the issue of young gymnasts competing. Feels like the last two points were made by sore losers.

  • jossjoah: Absolutely right on the sore losers.  By the way, ranking by gold medals is how the IOC has counted since 1906.

  • Very well said. I wasn't aware that countries besides the United States were ranking the total number of medals too, though. But I guess that goes to show you that Western media is really really biased.

  • wonderful

  • so many records broken.

    pollution? what pollution?

  • best olympics ever..china..bravo..bravo..

  • this's just a jealous country trying/continuing to sabatoge another country's greatness. trying to find every bit that they can use to ruin something great.

  • a few weeks ago i saw on the news, an american killed his gf, cut off her ears and face, boiled it and was eating it before the cops came.

    damn.... go eat some dogs and stop eating humans, you twisted americans!

  • USA even lost more without Micheal Phelps and the black in field and track. Don't forget we put the blacks as slaves before.

  • i just spammed ppiuaaad about 30 times with their own message. it was fun

  • lmao karma is such a bitch

  • It's a product of Holywood.

    China just bought the title of General Director.

  • Wow

    shock

    awe

    amazed

  • now the world will try to beat the chinese olympic opening. they're a treand setter. ofcourse followers will make it better, always does, maybe not.

  • mystikalight: The "followers" will have to come up with the US$ 40 Billion first. U.K. is heading straight into another recession.

  • the brits really need major deantal work. sorry, just an opinion.

  • as a brit I agree, but the yanks need to start exercising and stop being so fat. Sorry, just an opinion.

  • D14, your just pissed we kicked your azz is the war and won our freedom..

    Banzaidawan, at least our air is clean, beijing has more pollution than flys on a sh%t wagon.

  • air is whaaaaT? dude stop lying! some people dont may not know about america but dont spit lies around you!

  • learne nglish before you post retard

  • look at you illiterate...

  • turn your fucking t.v off and wait for the next olympics! us americans wants *change*?whatever! youtube used to cool 'til now. fuck off everyone! grow up and enjoy life a bit! americans are the iggest bullys and it shows here. sounds like bush all over again! peace out! no need for childish or bushish! peace out!!!

  • Hey "mongolpigterminator" your accusing us Caucasians of being racist... when this is a quote taken from YOUR profile:

    "Mongol pancakeface retarded fucks

    Indian smelly curry munchers

    Viet slopey gook midgets

    Turkish sand niggers

    We Chinese will fuck them all and nuke them to ash~~~"

    Who is the true racist fag? Your a prick and you need to do the world a favour and go hang yourself. Your IQ isn't high at all with an attitude like that. You need to wise up asshole and stop being a nazi wannabe

  • did you know the fireworks are fake?

  • did u know it was the brits who says that the fireworks were fake?

    did u also know that the next olmypics is going to be held in britian?

    did u know that the brits are also the most outspoken of the 2008 olympics?

    is there a connection or is it just coincidence.

    tell me the brits arent jealous they cant put up a stunning olympics like that.

  • London 2012... you wait and see ;)

  • London will do a good show, but as to whether they can put on a better show than China, we don't know. China will be a tough act to follow.

  • Oh and watch this:

    watch?v=eQcZu9xRGjE

    Just as good, and we will put on a better display for the 2012 olympics. So stfu until you know what your talking about kid.

  • ok if u brits can give us a better show then do it.

    u no theres this old proverb... less talk more do

  • I've just shown you we can do better, but words will have to do for now because you obviously dont comprehend the 4 years until our olympics. But hey, by that time you will be 18 and hopefully will have actually grown up rather than trying to act like an adult. (And thats a reference to your profile not to your comments here)

  • u my friend would have made a fatal error by looking at my profile.

    it shows 2 things

    1. ur a pedaphile

    2. ur asking for rape.

    never put ur real age, name etc on the intertent kid. u cant trust anyone.

    and as for ur "proof" im sorry but i dont see it. plz tell me the video plz

  • right ok so you have just proved what a moron you are. Because I look at a profile means I am a peado right? lmfao great logic there mate. There is nothing wrong with putting your real age on the net numb nutz, as long as you are clever enough to realise that that doesn't mean crap. Which you clearly are not, and I have already posted the other video so go back and look for yourself.

  • hey "brit-ny" boy, ur proven nothing. u havent post or gave anyone proof. show me the video u moron. if all u brits do talk then ur sad...

    what happened to the "sun never sets on the british empire" i think the sun has set.

  • oh and isnt the mayan calender say that the end of the world would be 2012? well at least ur have ur chance. doomsday in december. hey make a good bye treat for the world as well.

  • jeez could everyone quit acting like moronic ignorant racists for just a second

  • the wonderful irony of this is that the very statement you made is just as racist as you claim all caucasians to be. afterall since im caucasian i must be a racist..right? if you dont understand what im saying, look up Irony in your nearest dictionary, and once you've done that.. look up racial profiling and/or stereotyping to give you a small hint as to just how much of an idiot you really are.

  • michael phelps is the best

  • I'm not caucasians sorry.:<

  • wtf u didnt kno americans wer blacks?! dats really sad, seems like u dont go out much...

    o and the olympic opening ceremony was stunning! (:

  • you are all absolute idiots. just enjoy the bright flashing lights you fucking ignorant morons.

  • Please.. The most important thing of this game is not victoy but harmony. Please do fair play especially, Chinese . DO NOT blow whistle or shout when other country's palyer's therm. Western style archery needs a high level of concentration . It's unbelievable that the host country's people do such things. There's no need to gorgeous opening ceremony. I want your manner and respect to other players.

  • SHUT UP WHO CARES?!

  • every countrys like Greece were do the same thing.

    It's a play.

    happier,right?

  • shut up, did u watch da basketball match between USA and china? i dint know that american were blacks

  • stfu no one cares

  • shut up! AMERICA is one of the most powerful countrys in the world.

  • r u from nigeria or something? if so, your a niger! Talk about usa like that again!

  • Aussiephil99, don't judge. the chinese are well known for their talents and artists, unlike the kangaroos in aus. every olympic openings were boring, but i enjoyed every single one of them for what it is. the world needs to lighten up and stop hating. this is why...why what? ask yourself since you're so fast to judge with rude comments.

  • americans will be americans. americans are perfect and nothing wrong with their country. i can go on and on, but i'm also an american, lol. what's so perfect about america? want to see fake? my boobs are nice and plump. there's fakes all around the world. stop it! stop it!!!! i'm calmed down now, lol...

  • why hate? why even watch the olympics if you're going to hate? enjoy the fcuking games while it's here. the americans are all so quick to judge, and most hated around the world jealousy will not get you anywhere. don't be a sore losers, or stoop down even lower. watch another show besides the olympics.

  • really funny,I know why some abroad hate china now。thanks for the stupid convention

  • hey dis is ipezen chek out my lil bro on the user kolistice vid will be up in a few hours

  • GO CHINA GO !!!

  • lol yeah and maericans too!!!

  • usa is america. your dumb rofl

  • using "America" to represent "USA" is a misnomer, really, as "America" comes from "North America", where Canada is also situated. But it's all irrelevent, right...everyone uses "America" when referring to the USA.

  • The opening ceremony was ok....but needed some humour...it was all to serious!! Why didn't they have Panda on rickshaws or a giant bowl of fried rice....at least at Sydney they had Kangaroos on bikes......lighten up China!!

  • China's not Australia.

    People have different ways of viewing themselves :)

  • You have a point about the humour. It was all planned by a bunch of guys in their 50s. They made it like a show or movie, instead of a party. You should check out the 88 one in korea -- the doves were roasted in the ceremony.

  • Fantastic show

  • USA are winning China right behind them.

  • They Should Of had Them Glasses On New years Eve In Times Square More Olympics Coverage On My Site

  • Horrible. Muy mal gusto.

  • Tibet part of China

  • Free Tibet, China!

  • Murder Of an American and stabbing of his wife !

    We never should be in a country that violates civil and human rights ! Click on and see corrupt cops,judges and Air Show, Blessing Of the Fleet , Blue Sea Shipwreck and surfers contest !

  • yea, nobody has ever gotten stabbed in America before.. oh wait yea they have and the dumb fucks shoot each other as well.

  • Actually Irshkid329 America produces far more pollution than China.. Do some research before you make such a ridicules statement.. New York for example is one of the worlds most polluted cities. can't breathe huh? I bet you choking then.

  • fuck you, your twisted fucking asshole.

  • Yeah, everyone knew that...but american never kill one chinese in USA???? bullshit...just one man kill a american, then is a country that vilates civil and human rights?? everyone have guns in american, and many people got shot each year...i don't think that is freedom, that is stupid!!

  • HAHA....talking about violating civil and human rights...I hope the Native Indians would be here.

  • this was amazing and rly sick.. probebly took forever to build it all up

  • actually, 2 or 3 yrs, LOL!

  • PLEASE go VOTE for my favorite video (see channel)...

  • This is great. I watched this live, and it was way better.

  • ...but anyway beautiful job China on your Olympic Opening ceremonies. It was very beautiful and wonderful.

  • Chinese people the people who are writing about human rights in China are the same people who live in the U.S. who also complain about human rights in America. Most of those who complain about human rights in BOTH countries were also against the war in Iraq.

  • Yes, people who loves human right isn't just against a nation but against all that is against it.

  • This is true. That is why nationalistic people when they see people talking about human rights in their country don't understand that many of those who comment about it are not those who nationalistic in America, Canada or other countries.

  • Uh, don't people who are attacking so called "Americans", who are on here complaining about Chinese 'human rights' realize those people are probably Tibetans living in the West, and not just regular Americans.

    So why act stupid and attack other Americans.

    Besides most of those who complain about China's 'human rights' are the same people who complain about the United States human rights. Most of them are one and the same.

    I guess people living in Asia don't know that.

  • It's approx 24/25 mental age points below according to YOUR statistics, IQ are not measured in percent, 100 is just the average of Mental Age/Chronological Age *sigh*, so it depends on their age and the different sections tested, and studies also show that for the same amount of white vs black crimes the black are 13% more likeley to end with prison scentance. Baka

  • yea china!!! redeem team aint got nothing on yao...

  • LOL even google uses the official website ranking dumb americans.

  • am fed up abput everyone inclusing ministers saying 'china poor human rights issues', what about AMERICAS human rights issues, with innocent people in guantanamo bay, what about UK's human rights, stop and search against black people, and looking up every innocent man who has a beard, without trail for 42 days, hypocrites! and i ain event chinese, but you cant complain about chinas human rights, when the human rights in america and UK is just as bad. morons!

  • I guess people don't know that the same people who complain about human rights in China are the same people who complain about human rights who live in the U.S., plus they are the same people who were against the war in Iraq. I guess some people don't know the difference...lol

  • ...also if 'human rights' is so bad in the UK...why do you live there?

    lol

  • Ha! STUPID AMERICANS think they're number 1 in medal count right now! ESPN and yahoo counts the medal ranking without any discrimination of gold, silver, and bronze. Are you Americans that stooopid to not be able to distinguish the value of gold over bronze? The rest of the world tracks the medal ranking in accordance with the rules of the IOC and the olympics website. You Americans are even below the Koreans right now! LOL

  • uh, so what? I thought this was about the contestants and not about the countries?

  • KIRK cool name...

  • hmmm was interesting to watch while it lasted...alot of skill and effort

  • it was a good copy of 2004 oppening ceremony

  • Totally agree.

    Just ignore the ignorant assholes from either China or the States.

    Let's just enjoy the great ceremony and games! Isn't peace what Olympics is about?

  • all the lowlife haters are just jealous

    I LOVE CHINA!!!

  • Chinas communist regime should stop killing innocent people. Don't you agree?

  • yeah .. US should stop killing arabian also .. don't you think so ?

  • go back to your trailer dumass! USA is trying to kill every citizen in IRAQ and every ARAB you uneducated brainwashed slug

  • omg i love china so much!!!

    kickass opening ceremony

  • Yeah agreed dorbu; why can't we just coexist in happiness. The good, bad, and the ugly are in every nation.

  • The title of superpower belongs to great historic nations like China, but not stupid fat America!

  • Hippo, if your so much smarter then how come your grammar and spelling is some of the worst I've ever seen? I'm thinking your probably under 12, am I right? In reality America is certainly not anything close to a "supreme ruler of the world", in fact they are hated and looked down on by most of the world mainly due to idiots like you. Don't get me wrong a large part of my family is American but sadly it's a country with some very serious and deep rooted problems, there's no way I'd back there.

  • olympic opening nice...the perform veri nice......

  • COOL

  • I thought the opening ceremony was spectacular and very wonderful. Writing from nyc here. Congratulation, China. All the best!

  • It's the Olympics... Different people from different places gathering for friendly competition, shut the hell up with the racism and the stupid, "america sucks/america is numbah 1!!!" Just enjoy the freaking Olympics. Seriously. By the way, the opening ceremony.. was AWESOME :D haha had to leave on a light note ;)

  • Hippo - you're absolutely retarded. I'm American, and proud, but you're shaming us all. You're saying other nations are arrogant, when you're ignorant of facts in your debate. Look up worldwide economic standings and education ratings because we are not in first place. Fuck you're an idiot.

  • i would like those novelty glasses please.

  • i am asking for a kind gesture: please visit my site and help me....

  • ~ ~ ~ Long live China! ! !

  • The west, stupid pig countries like america and france, always trying to break peace from harmony nation like the great china!

    The olympic is our, and tibet is our!

    fuck you dalai lama supporters

  • fuck you america rocks ur just jelous that we are not weirdo and we acully have rights in our county plus u can have tibet, america is the supreme ruler of the world what we say goes o and u have one thing right france sucks but all of you countrys in the old contenets are arrgont fuckers who deserve nothing, plus we are smarter then you we come up with more ideas then you and show some respect if it wasn't for us you would be speaking japanese mail me and we can continue this i like debate.

  • wtf is your problem chill the fuck out

  • America is more like bitch of the world that tried to interfere with every nations politics. If it werent for the Chinese you would still be writing shit on the ground with a stick

  • America is nothing but an amalgamation of western nations, united, under one starry, stripey banner. It's delusional to even consider the world follows them. America influences power, not ideas. And lately, if not as always, the only power they show is in the dollar, and its fascist ways to protect it. At least china is trying for ALL its people. We kill thousands of our own to convince the other ignorant masses that we need to goto war to TAKE what wasn't given. No honor whatsoever.

  • ...you dumb maybe you should see it from the minds of the people running the country are you saying the war is bad...wellthe war IS bad but they're not doing it purposely to kill our own it's happening SO THE NEXT GENERATION AND OTHERS CAN LIVE! hmmm i see alot of honor in it don't you

  • as a chinese, I am sincerely invitting the people who dont like China to come to China, and hopefully what u see in China could change your stupid bias about China

  • thank you for your hospitality why cant all chinese be nice like you

  • i don't get why so many people are arguing on this. It's ironic because this is the olympics and the olympics are an event that signify world peace...a time where countries can come together , yes competing, but still.

  • Fuck the power Point heads

  • croatia

  • Why do you have to be a jerk ? If u haven't been to China.. Don't pretend you know their culture. Every country is unique with their own individual culture n practices. Thats what being human is all about. Do not disrespect other countries just because they don't match your countries rules.

  • There only good for getting killed in earthquakes? Wouldn't mind if you got killed in an earthquake dick.

  • Well done China.

  • Yeah it's true. We indians even worship rats as sacred, just like pigs,crows and other such rodents.

    And there are Naga-Saadhus who only get to have sex with the dead bodies let afloat in the River Ganges and later eat the bodies.

    It's all too holy people.

    That's our heritage.

    In south India, we even consider urine of cows as sacred. The cows dung is smeared around houses to keep the holy aroma alive.

  • Yeah, for example there is the filthiest of cultures that is indigenous to my country - India alone.

    We even worship rats as sacred.

    And there are Naga-Saadhus who only get to have sex with the dead bodies let afloat in the River Ganges and later eat the bodies.

    It's all too holy people.

    That's our heritage.

  • rofl, someone mention Hu jintao as the modern day hitler... i think thats a more precise definition of Mugabe...

  • You cannot type or put together a sentence to save your life.

  • i saw a lil bit of the drumming part

    It was cool when they turned off the lights and the drum sticks gloed

  • im watching beijing at this moment :D

  • Everyone!!! We all know that YouTube has A LOT of people (i.e. Faggots) that like to spew out hate and racism about things they don't understand and never will. They're just a bunch of lonely nerds that have nothing else going on in their pathetic lives. Just spam their shit if you see it.

    Also, China's opening was awesome. Truly amazing.

  • racism is terrible, but sexism is perfectly fine?

  • WTF are you talking about? Didn't mention women in my post. I use the word "faggots" out of context if it passed your mind.

  • let me see, china has wmds. run by a brutal dictatorship. sends poisonous products to our country. sounds like why we invaded iraq.

    but our president is over there enjoying the games.

    anybody know who neville chamberlain was?

  • sounds like you're utterly ignorant about china.
