Impressive?

China has been doing an impressive job getting ready for the Olympics. That is, if you see it from an organizing and cleanness (on the outside) perspective.

I have been following the debate on all fronts on if China should be hosting it at all. Many human right activists say no, others say it is all about sports and humanity uniting.The Chinese themselves are quietly split. Today the attack against a police station in Xinjiang proved it is not all controllable.

Links to Darfur

What astonishes me is that China is so sensitive to its image being hurt by anti-government demonstrations, yet it will paint garbage on its image, by helping out with the genocide in Sudan.

The BBC has uncovered eveidence of Chinese military support for Sudanese forces in Darfur. That is certainly reckless behavior on the part of China, especially in these image building times.

Hope

My hope is that China will do an impressive Job cleaning up on the “inside too”, i hope the olympics will be a launching pad for a better Chinese tomorrow.
