Yet another sign he would have a much more nuanced worldview of the world? Of course, it’s not saying that much when you compare it to somebody who characterizes the Olympics as just “a sporting event.” Bush has set the bar pretty low on expectations for the next Republican candidate’s decision making capabilities, but John [...]
Afraid that protests might disrupt the Olympic torch relay, San Francisco and Olympic organizers changed the route at the last second, leaving protestors and supporters staring at empty streets. Wow. What a farce. What’s the point of even having the relay if it’s going to be mainly hidden from view?
Much like China’s treatment of dissidents [...]
For those hoping the Beijing Olympics won’t be politicized, it’s too late. If the relay of the Olympic torch is any indication, this year’s summer games are going to be filled with acts of protest. Today, the flame was extinguished twice by protestors as it was carried through Paris. Both times, Olympic organizers relit the [...]
Germany itself isn’t going to boycott the entire thing, but she won’t be showing up.

This is after one day’s work in the mines. The guy is taking a bath to get all the soot off of his body. That’s just insane.
And as Speigel Online reports:
hina’s coal industry is the world’s most dangerous, as measured by the number of miners who are killed per year. In the first 10 months [...]
Even though I believe in global markets, I would.
This time its maggots in chocolate?
Listen, it’s not like American made goods haven’t had problems, but China is really taking it on the chin lately and for good reason. Consumers are becoming increasingly more uncomfortable trusting their health to a country with seemingly such lax standards on what they export.

Have we made a deal with the devil?
From NY Times:
Environmental degradation is now so severe, with such stark domestic and international repercussions, that pollution poses not only a major long-term burden on the Chinese public but also an acute political challenge to the ruling Communist Party. And it is not clear that China can rein [...]
