China flex their muscles

Most of us has watched the best ever Opening Ceremony in Beijing Olympic. The Pyrotechnics was one of the best. Now I know when we do shopping, where does money really goes. I think Brits will be the only one who are sad as they have to show something better in the next Olympic.

This event does not comes free; there were lot of sacrifice or human right violation occurs . Media are not focusing on underlying facts of the events. 2 Million people became home less as they move them to capture the land to build stadiums, parks etc. All the factories and road are closed because of pollution. They said worker will be compensated but corruption is the biggest challenge to get those money. There are lot of buzz going around in China but truth will never comes out. Soon we will see independence of Taiwan will go away. Couple of US resident who display the Taiwan flag are deported immediately. Taiwan will no more independent country. Pollution is the biggest threat to all the athletes. Its amazing to know that people in Beijing do not see the blue sky. Thousands of premature babies are dieing because of this pollution.

There were lot of reason that USA should avoid the Beijing Olympic just like Russia. But politically or economically it was not feasible. And that is the problem going forward. The Opening Ceremony was important to them as they wanted to show the world what China is, they are flexing their muscles.
