"I'm a Chinese and I watched the ceremony live in a bar with my friends last night. It was an exciting night indeed. However, I still don't think that the ceremony is good enough because it's tooooooo Zhang Yimou. I don't like his style for he always distorts Chinese people's image just to get attention from western countries and make his movies popular among you.
China now is a country mixed with historical and mordern elements. It's much richer and colorful than what you can see from Zhang's products. Just come to China and take a look. We have poor people just as you do in your countries, as what you can see from the picture. But just use your logic to think, if everyone lives in such a condition, then who lives in the tall buildings"
"As a foreigner living in China for the past 2 years, I must say to all of you that left some racist comments about China. If you live in the "western country", then you do not know freedom, unless you are over 80 years old. Today western countries are not all the they were designed to be. China is the freest place that I have ever been. They do not have army's of police generating revenue to hire more police. They do not have excessive taxes to fund wars in other parts of the globe for oil. In fact they do not care what you do here as long as you do not harm others. Is that not the definition of freedom?
Now thats real freedom. If you think that driving your SUV, paying crazy amounts of tax, and subjecting yourself to random searches is freedom. then I would advise you to look up the meaning of the word. After 9-11 in the USA is more like a communist country than China in many aspects.
China has come a long way, you may not agree with some of the policies on Tibet, and Taiwan. However it is not affecting you in anyway. Many people are quick to criticize what they do not understand. I only wish that half of the "China Haters" would feel half as passionate about your own countries invading foreign countries for oil. If that happened we would have a better world.
China has earned their moment in the spotlight. In earning this right they thought that they would show the world their gratitude for the honor. Please give them the chance to have that honor and appreciate it for what it is. The Olympics are supposed to be a NON-POLITICAL event, lets leave it just as that...athletes competing for medals. It is nothing more just that."
~"WHAT AN INCREDIBLE 4 HOUR SPECTACLE LAST NIGHT!!! UN-FREAKING-BELIEVABLE! LET THE GAMES BEGIN...
I recently relocated to Shanghai China for work last year from the US and I can now say that have truly experienced 2 amazing life changing events! The Memorial Day after the Sichuan Earthquake and now the Grand Olympic Opening!
"One World One Dream" If only the world now could reflect the essence and the universal values of the Olympic spirit -- Unity, Friendship, Progress, Harmony, Participation and Dream!"
