Boycott the 2008 Beijing Olympics!

    The invested interests spend so much national wealth in preparing the Olympic Games to blandish the international, launch so much propaganda about the 2008 Olympics to gloss over official corruption and social inequality!

    At the last National People's Congress session, China's Wen wowed discretionarily for the "Chinese's enthusiasm for the 2008 Olympics" - ignoring the voices of naysayers.

    Many feel the GDP comes from inflation. houses and food are all more expensive. China is falling into the capitalism seen in the 1800s, before the October Revolution.

    Most recent and upcoming college graduates from all over China squash in fancy metropolises, Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou, etc, while other provinces remain stagnant.

    Next spring, Chinese colleges and universities expect a record 4.95 million graduates, up 820,000 from this year. More than a million of them will wind up jobless, according to estimates.

    The proportion of people's salaries to GDP has been falling year after year.The M2/GDP ratio is unusually high, 200% in 2005.All money is the ruling group's money,all hardship is the mass's hardship.Fight ,or die!

    No participate in the 2008 Beijing Olympics! No watch the games! No buy the mementos!

    The Olympics should be scrapped. It provides greedy officials to carry out a lot of fraud. The whole Olympics thing is riddled with corruption.

    This thread should engender a lot of comments

    How about kicking that off by asking how will the laboratories cope with all the drugs test that are required to be in compliance with the International Drug Laws ?

    Don't worry, i wasn't planning to get involved in this event anyway....

    But, the news in the UK is reporting that the wages in China have actually increased over the last 15 years, and not decreased, but the prices in the Uk have appeared to stay the same for good imported. Either you are wrong, or the news is wrong, and to be honest, the news is not telling the truth much these days, and therefore i believe you.

    I honestly think that the olymics are a waste of time and money anyway, and china is not ready for this to happen in less than 1 years time.

    I am utterly shocked at what i have just read, things are not as simple as they seem.

    This is an inevitable result of a centralized command economy.

    The solution is to decentralize control and distribute power, so that people in each region can look out for themselves.

    As it is, the part bureaucrats in Beijing worry about Beijing and nobody with any power or authority worries about the rural poor in Western China.

    The solution is capitalism, but a grass-roots capitalism from below. The current state-controlled capitalism-from-above model is wholly incapable of scaling itself to support the vast nation that is modern China.

    I think that is the mindset of the many. I know I've never bothered with the Olympics...ever.

    The closest I ever gave support would be wearing an African Bobsledding T-shirt :p

    Maybe rather then scrapping it they could merge it with DMOZ *smirk*

    boycotting the olympics won't happen.. it's too big of an event and makes too much money, and has too much hype.

    i don't plan on ever participating or attending an olympics, but I would try to make money off of it if an opportunity presents itself
