Image by Ric e Ette via FlickrDanwei is still using a question mark, asking who is winning the Olympic PR-war, but - it remains always the question whether such a war can have a winner - China's government is clearly on the winning side. That has always been an obvious question for the domestic audience, although that was not right away clear for outside observers.Other feature in this PR-war is now the growing support of developing countries for China and a call for the boycott of French goods, including Carrefour. This mouse is getting a very long tail, and we are not even close to the Olympics.
No additional news on the visa problems, but that will emerge as the consular section of the Chinese diplomatic missions open in Europe.

The PR war may be winning with the Chinese population but the outcome is far from certain here in the US. In the end I think the US wishes to be civil to the Olympic ideal but the photos on media here are hardly sympathetic to China.
BTW the word in English is converts not convicts (regarding weblogging)
