They are holding the Olympics in Beijing for one reason Money. The Olympic controllers and the rulers of China are mirror images of each other, consumed by power and greed.
Incorrect, China was allowed to hold the Olympics because it is other countries way to get them more involved with the world.
That's been the rational ever since they USSR fell. That trade and tourism would infect the Chinese with a hunger for western things and they'd become more open and that would be reflected in their politics.
I hope none of you have been holding you're breath because none of that happened.
Let's consider the places in the world that China is involved in:
Tibet
Miramar
Somolia...
By those examples, I don't think the world needs or wants more Chinese involvement.
There are different ways to be involved with the world... Not everything is surounded by war. Also that was a statement by people in the Canadian Government.
