But we all know how the Nazi regime used the Olympic Games to brand there regime, and this type of event is important to the host country.
In China basic human rights are still violated daily. The regime might be chancing to the better but there is still a long way. Beside the regimes violations, China also have a lot of emigrant workers working under pure conditions to manufacture products to Western consumers. These workers often live under slave like conditions. They work lots of hours and sleep in dorms with lots of people around. The security level of the production is often non-existing, but the workers have no other choice but to travel far away from there families and take these under wages jobs if they want a job at all.
The Olympic Games in China this summer seems like it is a support to a violent regime that will rather hide there critics than go in to a dialog with them. Therefore are a lot of people protesting about the Olympic Games as the torch moves toward Beijing.
The picture is from the Herald Tribune where the torch was attack in Turkey yesterday.
