2008 Summer Olympic Games, Beijing

More at http://www.sfetcu.com

The 2008 Summer Olympics, officially known as the Games of the XXIX Olympiad, are an international multi-sport event, that will be held in Beijing, People's Republic of China from August 8 to August 24, 2008, and followed by the 2008 Summer Paralympics from September 6 to September 17. 10,500 athletes are expected to compete in 302 events in 28 sports, just one event more than was on the schedule of the Athens games of 2004.

The Olympic games were awarded to Beijing after an exhaustive ballot of the International Olympic Committee (IOC) on July 13, 2001. The official logo of the games, titled "Dancing Beijing," features a stylized calligraphic character jīng (京, meaning capital), referencing the host city. The mascots of Beijing 2008 are the five Fuwa, each representing both a color of the Olympic rings and a symbol of Chinese culture. The Olympic slogan, One World, One Dream, calls upon the world to unite in the Olympic spirit. Several new National Olympic Committees (NOCs) have also been recognized by the IOC.

The Chinese government has promoted the games to highlight China's emergence on the world stage. A total of 37 venues will be used to host the events including 12 newly constructed venues. Earlier in 2007, former IOC president Juan Antonio Samaranch had said that he believes that the Beijing games will be "the best in Olympic history." (Wikipedia)

Who cares if it is Communist or Capitalist. As long as it building a peaceful and harmonious society. People like you are the trouble of the world. There is no peace and harmony because people like. Go get some education and look at yourself before barking on others.

This is not true any more. Since the Chinese people are satisfied with the government, any attack on the Chinese government is attacking Chinese people too. The west always use the excuses of bashing Chinese government and does not recognize any positive development happening in China is a clear example how they are biased, baseless and shameless distorted news about China and Chinese people. This has to stop. Chinese people had enough this type nonsense attack on China issues.
