China's Olympics legacy -- 25 August 2008

The 29th Olympiad has officially ended in Beijing, putting politics once again at the forefront.

The US says it is disappointed the recently-concluded games did not bring more "openness and tolerance" to China.

But the International Olympic Committee argues that the Beijing Olympics would open the country up to the world.

Al Jazeera's Tony Cheng reports a mixed verdict so far.

The true legacy of the games will only be known once the CCP falls: transmission610 - watch it! It is not 'anti-China' to be anti the communist party. It is actually pro-china to support freedom for its people.
