Gilbert van KerckhoveConcerns about the heavy-handed security measures surrounding the Beijing Olympics are expressed more vocal as the event nears. CSMonitor sums it up as both foreigners and Chinese alike are forced to leave the capital, or even the country.
"They are not taking any chances, whatever the impact on ordinary people, either local or foreign," says Gilbert van Kerckhove, a longtime Beijing resident who is advising the city on Olympic issues. "They are totally paranoid; there is no other word for it... The result, fears Mr. van Kerckhove, will be that Beijing "will be a police city. There will be no mood ... because everything will be controlled."
