This will be the first time China has really come under scrutiny, and with the news of the Tibet protests that happen to be coinciding with the Olympics, people are seeing the Chinese government for what it really is.

But don't worry about China. American interests are perfectly secured, and no one will upset the balance. The United Statesians will make sure of that.

Freedom and democracy ftw! except in Africa. Let's let Africa die. And South America, don't worry about them either. What? No, China has money. They are fine. But the middle east! Freedom and Democracy forever!

In other news, I don not know if boycotting the olympics is the best thing. Either way, I think it is good that for the first time in a very long time, people will be able to see the Chinese government for what it really has become.
