The Olympics are China's coming out party...The Chinese people have worked very hard to make it the best it can be....I hope that when some of the inevitable cracks do appear, that the world realizes the amount of work and amazing improvement that China has made. The widely diverse interpretations of China's success or failure will be testament to democracy. In my eyes China has already succeeded. Good Luck China!!!
