China's Rulers Stay Tough Despite the Olympics Hoopla
Those who hoped the games would soften China's repressive behavior have been disappointed
But others say that Beijing, which made few concessions on human rights before and during the Olympics, will have little incentive to do so now.
Hong Kong-based China scholar Willy Lam predicts that the pre-Olympic security buildup will make it easier to crack down after the games. He predicts reprisals against a number of "troublemakers" in accordance with the Chinese tradition of "taking revenge after the autumn harvest."
