So we don't piss them off so they destroy our economies but putting all their western govornment bonds and western currencies up for sale, and thus reducing their value by 90%.

China's solution to the Human rights issue.

Jail all human rights activists

Control all internet access

Monitor & control all telephone access

Expel reporters that have written about Chinese human rights issues

Deny Visa's to any reporter that has given China any bad press in the past

Why again were they given the Olympic venue ?

Serious Health Risks At Olympics

All Olympic athletes are in danger of suffering severe asthma attacks, skin conditions, infections and sickness due to Beijing's pollution.

A medical expert has told Sky News Online that unless smog in the Olympic capital clears, athletes may find their timings "considerably reduced", adding: "It's not a situation where you would expect any world records to be broken."

An exclusive Sky News report revealed that pollution levels are worse than ever in the Chinese capital - 16 times worse than in London - despite attempts to ban cars and reduce factory emissions.

Linky

They knew this before hand. so Why award the Olympic venue to China in the first place?
