What will set china Free Free Free is the truth.
1. china, great cancer, is her primative, barbaric past.... Witness, 50,000 block character? what nation uses 50,000 block characters.
2. Arrogrance. what nation on earth thinks they center "middle" "center of world".
This is what Pope taught before Galileo, Isaac Newton, Albert Einstein.
3. What Nation has Baby Emperor PUYI to red-emperor (1911/1949).
No National Assembly
No National Congress.
No National election.
4. china missed the science-age, Industrial-age or the Age of Discovery of sailing around the world.
5. After 2000, 80% of people still live on the farms with cows, chicken, sheeps.
6. Confucius: Dead for 2000-3000 years Now.... what the point of rote-memorize a Dead person from 2000 years.
7. Sick Man of Asia / Century of shame: Most if Not All is china own doing?
8. Stop-Look-Listen to the truth....
No science in china (native)
No Industrial--age (native)
No alphabet-based (ABCDEF.... Native).
No free people, free elections, free speech, free assembly Free association for a Free people.
Is this the "sick man of asia" or the "free man of asia"

china: 4000 years of history. true....
for 4000 years 80-90 percents of the people were farmers-peasants living off the land.
google: peasants in china. if china is so smart: why. how come?
1. workers making 25 cents an hour. Mexicans make $10 day.
2. Not a single Nobel Prize winners ever. 9 ethnic chinese in USA. Zero in china.
3. No discovery of Australia New Zealand. How come UK flag on flag of Australia.
4. English or Globish: how come English / Spanish is spoken around the world. No one outside of china can read / write chinese.
5. USA flag on moon. How come china-flag is Not on moon. "Houston" first word from moon. Is "Houston" in china.
6. Google book: "The Ugly chinaman" Bo Yang's classic book on china. Google Mao'd doctor book in chicken mao: mass killer of 30-million.
7. Sick Man of Asia: How come china was called the sick man of asia, Not rich man of asia or successful man of asia.
8. China: century of shame. century of humiliation. what happened.
9. China: what happened in china so that for 4000 years. china was a Nation of "subsistence farmers". Famines in the 1950s 1960s.
10. China: if they are so smart: how come they are having famines "no food to eat, starved to death" only 40-years ago.

China has been been decline for 300-years until. 1978.
China, chinese shoud look to themselves for some failings.
Much of its own failings is backward, inward looking culture that never developed sailing, airplanes, or spaceflight.
NO scientific revolution.
NO indutrial revolution.
NO free elections. NO democratic revolution.
NO written alphabet.
NO discovery of the earth, solar system, cosmos. Hence, center of the world. Zhong Guo.
Does anyone think they live in the center of the world.
What china needs is the truth, free search for free truth by free citizens in a free world. Free elections, free markets, free-vote. free trade.
Libery for all her people.

Quote M. Zuckerman,"They saw the Olympic spectacle as an opportunity to demonstrate that China has regained its national stature and power after the legacy of what it experienced as 'a hundred years of national humiliation' at the hands of foreigners. Humiliated. Chinese schoolchildren have long been indoctrinated to believe that until the Communist victory in 1949 their country was the "sick man of Asia." They learned never to forget the 1919 Treaty of Versailles, which gave to Japan Germany's special concessions and extraterritorial status in China. Incidents such as the clash of Chinese and American military aircraft, the Tibetan uprising, the Olympic torch relay, and even the Sichuan earthquake have all featured in a national narrative of a resurgent China defending itself against a hostile world. The humiliation of a hundred years has given way to an ideology of nationalism that nurtures popular resentment of Japan and America. For us the past may be past as we focus on China's awesome capacity to achieve. Not so for the Chinese. For them, the Olympics have been the crowning moment when they could see themselves at last as victor, not as victims. As the former mayor of Beijing put it last year, "We have to have a good Olympics; otherwise, not only will our generation lose face but also our ancestors."
M. Zuckerman may have forgotten the Opium War and the Eight Nations Invention of China ("Boxer Rebellion"). Those wars also humiliation of the Chinese people by foreign counties such as Britain and the United States. The Opium War was nothing more than the Britain government as illegal drug dealers invading China when the Chinese government trying to stop their people from taking Opium. The Eight Nation Invasion of China was led by the American to steal and rob the Chinese Imperial Palace of all its treasure. Both invasions were unforgivable crimes committed by the United States and British as robbers, murderers and drug dealers. Both U. S. and Britain must now be punished harshly and come to their final end.

What Could London Do to Match Beijing Olympic Great Openning and Closing Scenes?
The answer is extremely simple and smart, the United Kindom will join the People Republic of China. In other words, Britain will become part of China, and China will then host the 2012 London Olympic. For the Beijing Olympic, the Chinese will have 151 medals, with 100 from Mainland, 4 bronze medals from Chinese Taipei and 47 from Britain. They will have exactly 70 gold medals from the Beijing Olympic. The British minority groups of China will obviously enjoy the same 151 medals. The British will be proud? Since Ireland only have 2 bronze medals, I would recommend Southern Ireland to join the United Kingdom. When United Kingdom join China, then the Irish will add 2 more bronzes making their Beijing Olympic medal tally 153.
I will assure that when their unification is complete, the London Olympic host by China will be the most spectacular sights human beings have ever seen. By then, a united China will be able to win 200 medals for the Chinese, Taiwanese Chinese, English, Scots, Welsh, and Irish to enjoy.

Many of the western reporters tend to suspect, at least by their wording, the motives of what Chinese government are doing. For example: you said that Deng Xiaoping decided to adapt a maketing approach was "for the continuation of the Communist party's ruling"; could it be instead "for the good of the country"? You also said that the Chinese children were "indoctrinated" to believe China was a sick man before. It is a fact that China was once, when she was weak, divided like a piece of pie for the consumption of the powerful countries, such as Japan, Germany, French, England, Potugal, etc.. When you use the word "Indoctrinated", it has an evil intention.
