But China as a debut host country, has set a very high standard for future Olympic hosting nations. I doubt London can beat that in 2012. You'll know what I mean if you watch the 8 min presentation by the Brits at the closing ceremony. It's lame, really. David Beckham showcase his ball kicking skill? Come on. With a population over 1.3 billion, I don't think China needs any approval from the world, especially the west and their media. It is 'them' who are so afraid of the "Rise of the East Dragon". Indeed, the Dragon has awoke. Why we never remember the past Olympic opening/closing ceremonies is because it’s not spectacular enough.

At best it might feature, for example:- 289 youths from Hackney pretending to stab each other over a drug dealing dispute gone wrong; a completely unchoreographed display of 344 drunken girls being sick in the street; + (inevitably) some kids lecturing the world about the enviroment, global warming, blah blah. Britain has trouble getting a class of school children to attend lessons for a week without playing truant. They would never endure 16 hour rehearsals for 3 months! Zhang Yimou has absolutely nothing to be worried about!! (And I say that as a Brit). There is no WAY the London Olympic ceremony will top the Beijing spectacle!

Are you for it or against it? I can't tell because you praise China but make digs at it at the same time. I know you've got an opinion because I can tell you follow the news becuase you've mentioned Robert Mugabe, McCain and Hillary in past blogs. I think China's glory from the opening ceremony is diminshed because it's unseemly begging for approval from the rest of the world. It's sad that they have to stoop so low as to make a little girl lipsynch for the "national interest". How strong a nation can you be if the national psyche rests on the shoulders of a little girl?
