WHY CHINA?

Why? Why? Why? Why must china put themselves in this situation? Cheating everyone who watched the Olympics opening ceremony on 080808. in case you haven’t heard, the ‘footsteps’ fireworks at the beginning ‘may’ have used pre-recorded footage and aired for television broadcast at that time. Another hoax is the pretty girl who sang solo was actually miming the lyrics because the 7-year-old girl who was the original singer was not pretty enough. How would the original singer felt, being told you are not pretty enough to be shown on tv. She is only 7. is she going to live with the thought that she is not pretty enough and therefore has no chance of being known. How will it affect her self-esteem?

China is really so intent on keeping a ‘good face’ in the eyes of the world. It is in the Chinese culture maybe, face-saving. Appearance must be good. Well, it gives a good first impression no doubt, but things are always deeper than the surface right?
Anyway, I was impressed that day when I saw how meticulous they were in choosing everyone of the same height and the weight with the same hairstyle for the group performances at the opening. Those welcoming girls all in white and short skirts when the contingents came in, those martial arts performers, the drum players…all so cloned. Well, they have the liberty of choosing only those suitable because there are so many Chinese citizens out there. Who can blame them? But not giving credit where it is due, gets on me.

really don't understand why they have to fake it, THEN admit that they faked it.. sounds stupid, but maybe i'm missing a vital part of the story here..

maybe they were threatened to expose themselves. someone might be holding the thread there saying, 'if you don't blow your own top, i will do it'.

First of all, try to look at the positive. I reckon they have done a wicked job with the opening. So what with a bit of miming. Its just entertainment...

Fireworks...its just fireworks.....The city itself has been polluted heavily so why pollute it further. The Chinese love the environment.

This is just the way the Western media wants to uncover some blemishes. They can't handle the fact that the Chinese is arriving on stage big time. You wait 20 more years.....We will kick their %^^&*
