Who Will Attend the Olympics in China?
Rumors are flowing that obtaining visas to get into China for the 2008 summer olympics is taking a long time and in some cases just not coming at all. Layer onto that recent rumors that the Chinese government is making it difficult for one or more country’s news and reporting crews and equipment to get set up. More rumors yet circulate about the government keeping a tight lid on where the the foreigners can film reports.
The Olympics have always been about an event that is bigger than politics – it would be a shame to see politics control this event in 2008.
