Reflections

Exactly a year will host the Olympics in Beijing. China is trying to give a perfect image of himself. Often, these days I have heard the news reports of a supposed "civilization, beautification and modernization" of the People's Republic.

particularly absurd news covering a group of volunteers who roam the streets of Beijing with the aim to teach people not to spit on the ground and throw cigarette butts in ashtrays, everything to try to give the best possible image of Beijing and its inhabitants.

Not to mention the cannon designed to prevent the rain: it would an old anti-aircraft cannon, specially modified, that in case of cloudy sky, it disappears into the clouds a bullet containing a substance capable of dissolving and then return so the blue sky. (Source TG1)

What a jumble of crap!! For those not clear about the actual situation at present in China, here's a brief tour:

- Jacques Rogge, president of the International Olympic Committee, said that air pollution in Beijing could slide all the sporting events' open the next Olympics,

- A closer media censorship and the Internet, activists detained, repression of Tibetan minorities and Uighurs, priests in prison, and abuses continue on migrant workers, police forcibly dispersed peaceful protests ...

- A year after the Beijing Olympics, Human Rights Watch reports that in China no more respect for human rights. In Beijing arrested activists from Reporters Without Borders (which is practically the press office of Doctors Without Borders) who protested during a press conference on the Games, which is not promised freedom of the press, the media censorship has increased, that foreign journalists must ask permission to leave their base (in Beijing or Shanghai) and can move more freely only from August to October 2008.

- At this time in favor of Tibet activists demonstrated on the Great Wall and at least four prominent international aid organizations have accused Beijing of not keeping its promises on the 'complete media freedom' for the Games

- The worst blow, the Games organizers have suffered from six pro-Tibetan activists, who have opened on the Great Wall (China's national symbol par excellence), not far from Beijing, a banner, taking up the slogan of the Olympics said: "One World, One Dream , Free Tibet in 2008. " The six activists (two Canadians, three Americans and one British) were arrested after protest, when he ignored the lot.

point on which link very almond-shaped eyes and urban development and "infrastructure" of the city, publicizing the construction of new stadiums built specifically for gaming.
Do you really know what these new stadiums?
- forced expropriations and schools barred. To realize the futuristic sports facilities and renovate neighborhoods in Beijing and other cities have been dispossessed and driven out by force tens of thousands of people, often without adequate compensation or a new home. Whole neighborhoods have been gutted. To beautify the city were shut down dozens of unauthorized schools for children of migrant workers, often have no other opportunities for education.

- Finally, remember the thousands of people executed without trial on charges of typical dictatorial regime ....
