First of all, I think your part of ideas are realistic and down to the earth. It's very interesting to highlight which political position the IOC supposed to put itself at, or what kind of idealology this sports event should be banlanced at the most rather than being twisted to a extreme. All I can say it's with this world has almost billions of people living on one single plantnet but features different cutlures and values, economies, political aspects and so on. And the most important quesition, does every single one of the nations in this world was, at presnet and in the futre would be on the same track as they are developing their nations for the better approach? And most importantly does politics work the best to deal with the human rights issues that could be defined with many standards within different cultures. Yes, sometimes but not always. Why? Because there are always competitions going on between nations and nations, and the world orders currently doesn't work fully only depends on the moral values rather than compromises between arguments. If the Olympics really gone into a privillaged game for all nations to be qualified with their histories or so-called human rights records, then I would say EUROPE is the major land of humanity crisis to be blamed, from the unspeakable imperialism/slavery to the doomsday-like 2 world wars. One question is remained, Why there are still some nations are currently killing the civilians in the warzone of the middle-east while swearing others in a highest tune about human rights protection? And interestingly the BIG 5 of the UN are just the biggest weapon traders in the world, including llegally. So I wonder what's the BORDERLINE of the FREEDOM while muslims, jews, anglos, asians, africans are sharing the most? Does the notion of FREEDOM stand for a self-genocide of each of the traditional values in order to please a universal standard? Is this standard a sensational or just political? It's like blaming economy because of the pollution, but also blaming the poverty because of the economy at the same time.Then to bring back the pollution again to ensure all of us to be able to afford the campagin of fighting the pollution~So was the modern civilization really set up to be an ultimate perfection 100 years ago? I don't know, but the history of the Olympics doesn't seem like very nice of the human rights chapters or a fairy-tale book. But have the world including China, Russia, Many African nations, and almost half of the world given up the efforts of promoting and supporting the Olympic movement? Well~let the fact tells all And particularly in 1984 Los ANGLES, it's China borke the boycotts of USSR's pressures and insisted to join the Olympic family as their first time. But boycotted the USSR's Regime of imperialism over the invation of Afganistan. Yes, olympics is always a battleground for some politics, but politics still never successed of killing Olympics growing bigger and bigger. Freedom of China would be on the track but only up the hands of the Chinese. Because people are the major force of change, not just a President or so-called World Leader

not in pinyin but more likely the Chinese character order

The entire OC must be linked with different themes properly working as a completed story line at least. What the heck it's going to be a flower standing aside of the bird's nest. That's just wreid universally.

I of course know how the democracy system works, and I would be pleased if China having its own great progress of democracy. BUT China now is not a maoist society, but more likely a capitalism under the ruling of elitism bureaucracy. It's progressing but also a developing nation. So that means more and more middle class is building up in China in a preparation of political reform. If you don't believe me, just watch the whole story of this year's China's Earthquake, how the people, the officals and the rich react to this crisis. YOU OVERLOOKED as WITHIN THE Chinese communist party, there are many different voices behind your so-called totalitarian system, even including the sponsorship by american ENDOWMENT FOR DEMOCRACY.~ That means the government is formed by more democratic powers than ever. But there are still a generation of Maoist and communist believers shares a large of the Chinese population~And they are still seeing the current modernization is shameful and A compromise of the Western colonialism. Igorent enough? I think so too, but that's what the history causes all the pains and distrust BY th West in the worst part of the Chinese history of the last 100 years. It's just complicated and impossible to please the entire 1.3 billion people's needs~It's a shame but that's why Chinese just opening its door to the world 30 years ago! It's the time China speaks and become an ''adult'' properly as its economic weighting heavier and heavier. Do you know CHINA ONCE WAS THE BROTHER NATION OF AMERICA BECUASE OF ITS DEMOCRTIC GOVERNMENT, AND THE BIGGEST POWER FIGHTS THE FACISM IN ASIA.? But because of all the bureaucracy corruption and ''democratic version of totalitarian''in the 1930s, the COMMUNIST PARTY WON THE CIVIL WAR SUPPORTED BY THE CHINESE PEOPLE themselves.~ Can you see how inmature the political-satisfaction of the general Chinese population is? Chinsese only developed its modernization 30 years ago and they were even just the slaves of one royal family before the British Empire was born, but Germany already gone through the rapid economic growth of over 60 years. Don't you think that's an amazing but aslo roller-coaster like transformation for the German people and their nation? What do you think of China's progress compares to MAO's China in the 1949s, until this year, China's weight of economy is expected to take over Germany and become the third biggest. Generally, China is at least on the right track of revolutiong the nation and its political system rather than becoming the real totalitarian LIKE IRAN OR NORTH KOREA. Criticising China is not a big deal, but to demonise 1/4 of world population and the oldest civilization in the world is a dead-end route. it Neither helps to construct a better international community nor to build up a new China what the world is expecting to see. Anyway, World Economy already gone into depression, to concern more about our wallets is more realistic tahn swearing all the time over other's issue. The world is always changing, nobody would top the rule model of the world forever. I do respect your concern, but please do listen to different opinions too. To answer your last question, I can surely say YES, you can criticise the authority, you can learn from many aspects of the thoughts and viewpoints, but in a Chinese way. AND Chinese has family values, they are nice, friendly, and owns a good moral values and philosophy. If you're trying to open your heart rather than being defenSive, they would be impressed and willing to talk a lot about their thoughts and minds WITH you~

I DON'T have plenty of time to argue with you, so just briefly answer you the questions. BECAUSE BBC CHINA HAS ALL THE CHINESE FEATURES AND ALSO ALL THE COMMENTS MADE BY CHINESE-SPEAKING NOCs~And it aims to the Chinese speaking audiences! CAN YOU FIND A DW-CHINESE? IF YOU DO, YOU COULD FIND SOME CONTENT OF THE WEBSITES AND COMPARES TO THE BBC CHINESE~BY THE WAY, DW RECENTLY CLAIMING a report of ALL THE CHINESE athletes ARE IN DOPING JUST BEFORE THE GAMES~THAT'S JUST TWISTING THE WHOLE IMAGE OF Chinese team for its long history and is not being tolerated by no matter Chinese government or Chinese people. I CAN TELL YOU, ALSO RSF, Amnesty International may be also considered been baned because of the their extreme Propaganda insulting of Chinese athletes

NO~ THAT WEBSITE CONTINUES UNTIL NOW AND GROWING BIGGER AND BIGGER~ Whether you are impressed or not doesn't change any facts of another amount of people dislike what you swearing randomly. OK~WE ARE EVEN STEVEN, WE BOTH NEED TO LEARN STH BEFORE WE TRYING TO PERSUADE OTHERS WISELY RATHER THAN JUST JUDGING WITH SHORT-SIGHTS AND PLENTY OF IGNORANCES

First~ THAT'S NOT MY WORDS, SO DON'T MAKING IT like A SCANDAL OF MINE! OR MJ THIS MJ THAT~I don't know you! You or I don't have the great privillage to patronizing each other just because the misread of the issue. So get over it~ I CAN TELL YOU WHY IF YOU ARE TIRE OF READING THE WHOLE THING. BBC CHINESE is regularly posting the articles of FROM TAIWAN SEPERISTS, FA LUN GONG( A Chinese Cult aims to provoke the hatred between believers and non-believers of China), 1989 Pekin riots refugees but linked to the Western Intelligent Agecies) DW stands for the voice of German government and particularly in 2008, its voice standing stronger in the tune of anti-Chinese policy Those references of the Chinese current censorship does not stand for my personal opinions! Don mix that up! I'm ONLY TELLING THE INSIDE STORY! BELIEVE IT OR NOT UP TO YOU!

NOPE~ I could be honest~

Could you read this? '''I heard about the Internet content which involves provking riots, conflicts, hatreds over the unity of the republic is illegal''' do you know a website called ANTI-CNN.COM? It's a long story~Do learn some Chinese before you dealing with a Chinese issue. Thanks~ Holy man~reborn Christ

because of the raising intense of the relationship between these two~ North Korean army shot a South Korean tourist because of the so-called ''spy row''~

Why are you sayin those reasons are mine? Can you read? I'm saying that is what the Chinese censorship rules claim~I'm only telling the objective fact. Please do read some Chinese sites to get the full story before you drop out such ''clever judgement'' I wish I could ban your loud mouth only speaking shits.~

So you'll be happy one day if I'm wishing all Chinese die out as those Yellow Peril threating the entire globe, won't you? I'll happy to do that, but there are 1.3 billion of them who are currently challenging the truth, the perfection, the moral highground the great Europeans set up. So it's me to get real, or somebody else? PLUS~Are you happy to watch millions of muslims might be protesting hardly before London games, or some other NOC criticising and blaming all the Englishmen for the London knife crime crisis and the terrible soccer hooliganism. I beg British government also having a military deal with Saudi Arab which concerns to be holding one of the worst human rights record....I'm currently using a Vodafone UK boardband which has a rubbish content patrol even blocking the getty images. Yes~somebodyelse always have the right to criticise over and over again~but this world is real, nobody could be claiming the role model of the world. I do criticise all the wrong deeds, but I am hating the double standards. One side the Beijingers are heart-warming welcome all the guests, the other side somebody else sayin they're all lack of moral fibre and liars.~ Great~I got it. Olympic Games is game of 'moral fibre', about 100/250 participating nations should all be disaqualified in order to bring a cleaner games for London 2012

That segment is formally called 世界大同 (World of Harmony), it's an ancient Chinese philosophical concept discribing a their version of Utophia.~It's almost equivalent to the idea of Greek vision of the world shown in Athens 2004. It's a total eurocentric-off show please~ What the heck.

I heard about the Internet content which involves provking riots, conflicts, hatreds over the unity of the republic is illegal. That's a part of China's constitution. But on the other side, the prono sites aslo been banned because of a mass Chinese users of the internet are children. The problem is China still lack of independent cyber-watchdogs, but only cyber polices. But even that, China still grown to be the first web-users in the world counts almost as the entire population of U.S. Generally I don't think such a vast nation would choose to please few journalists just before a games. It's like calling off the U.K. terrorism law just in order to please all folks , including some islamic extremists. Well~Obama says the promises beyond politics is another politics itself....Let's hope the journalists could enjoy themselves and do their job properly. They can use a proxy if they wish to watch some porn or having a talk with the Chinese separatists overseas during the games time Well~ Thanks to all the drama of 2008 over China, I only seeing China losing the confidents of the West as the West losing the patient of China. A century begins.

nope, I wished I could fly to Beijing tonight, but nope.

You got to be loving the politics between China, Korea and Japan~ Just a mass and senseless arguments sometimes. LOL~that's why we all need to be open-minded before the Olympics dam~that's the power of entertainment.

The content of BBC CHINESE are very senstive from the perspective of China's mainlanders...lol~I know what's going on~but if you are clever enough, just use the proxy~

It's interesting BOCOG this time allow some audiences in advance to watch the Opening Rehearsal. It's great~

Just for god sake don't leak them everywhere~it really kills many people's curiousities. again~ tonight it's the second rehearsal

I saw multi-colour phonixes~ that's definitly the core-idea surrounding the cauldron~I'm sure it is~ also the peak of night is supposed to be million children laughing faces....So I'm looking forward to that~Music is fantastic

I was thinking in the same way at the begining, but a lot of Chinese forums are heavily criticising SBS (South Korea)'s leaking~ Coz worldwide olympic broadcastors excpet this one really broke the rule somehow. But thanks for my collected impressions, the leaked ones was just a small part of the entire show. Who knows~

SBS, THE OFFICAL OLYMPIC BROADCASTOR OF SOUTH KOREA. SOMEBODY SAYS IT'S A PR VIDEO. COZ BOCOG SAID THEIR FIREWORK DISPLAY ON THE FIRST REHEARSAL ONLY LEAKED ABOUT 30/40%, AND I BELIEVE IT'S THE SAME SITUATION AS THE REHEARSALS. NO LAKE YET, NO BIG SHIPS YET, NO MATRIX GREAT WALL YET......THE FINAL FORMAT OF THE SHOW STILL NOT BE LEAKED YET. SO we'll have to see whether we would get more leaked stuff out of tonight's rehearsal.

AND THIS ONE~ AND OF COURSE THEY ARE NOT THE FULL PERFORMANCES~ THERE'RE STILL MANY ELEMENTS HAVN'T BEEN SEEN YET! INCLUDING THE LAKE ONES BUT YOU CAN FINALLY SEE THE REAL SHAPE OF THE CAULDRON http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g7ipkkvYbJU

GUYS!!!!! I DON'T KNOW WHAT TO SAY! BUT I FINALLY FOUND THE STEALING CLIP of THE OPENING REHEARSAL BY THE KOREAN MEDIA! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WllGR2a2E5Y !!!!!! WARNING: THINK BEFORE YOU WATCH!!!

Tonight is going to be another full-dressed rehearsal in Bird's Nest. Looking forward to more leaking of the pics.
