<!-- START OF : div id="storytext"--><!-- more than 4 paragraphs -->IT IS disturbing to read on Yahoo about the constant bombardments and negative reports by the Western media on the Beijing Olympics.
First, there was the claim by a Mr Chris Chase that part of the opening ceremony fireworks display was 'fake' and superimposed for TV viewers.
Then Mr Chase posted a photo of the Spanish basketball team posing with slant eyes, and called the Spaniards 'racists'. One can only wonder if he was angry and impartial, or merely amused by their antics.
If that was not enough, I read an article by a Ms Cara Anna about the 'dupe', where the pretty little girl at the opening ceremony apparently mimed the voice of another.
Then I heard on foreign radio a report that at many of the Games venues, China 'planted' spectators to fill the seats. What, may I ask, is wrong with that? Even Western show promoters fill seats at their mega concerts with free giveaway tickets.
All mere paper-selling stories? Or are they reported with a sinister tinge of envy? Needless to say, before the Olympic flame goes out, I will read and hear more such reports.
Regardless, I salute China for the great job it has done so far in its goal to achieve 'One world, one dream'. The opening ceremony was truly 'the greatest show on earth', as promised.
The best way for China to shut everyone up is to go on and win as many gold medals as possible, top the medal tally and reign supreme in sports, which is what the Olympics are supposed to be all about in the first place.

Why should China, or any country, be free from criticism? Is China special that it should be above criticism?

If the reader feels that the criticism is unfair, then rebut it point-for-point with the cold hard facts.

Unfortunately the reader chose to indulge in the same rhetoric that he accuses other people of.

If western media are out to throw stones at China without any basis, they will eventually discredit themselves. If the reader wants to hasten that process, he should stop speaking in the same tongues of his opponents.

China cheats by resorting to having one girl mime and having computer graphics in place of fireworks. Simple as that.

China cheats by resorting to having one girl mime and having computer graphics in place of fireworks. Simple as that.

"Cheat" is too strong a word.

Going by the same logic we can accuse Li Ning of not running in the air to light the Olympic flame.

C'mon .... The opening ceremony was a show. So let's be entertained.

At least they admitted it
