Summer Olympics 2008 in Beijing China
The 2008 Summer Olympics are right around the corner! I can't wait for the 2008 Summer Olympics in Beijing China! I've never traveled to China before, but I plan to go for the Olympics. If you're planning to go, you can still get great Beijing Olympics tickets for many events!
The Games of the XXIX Olympiad will be celebrated from August 8, 2008 to August 24, 2008, with the opening ceremony commencing at 08:08:08 pm at the Beijing National Stadium in Beijing, People's Republic of China.
Some events, including football (soccer), sailing, and the new 10 km marathon swimming events will be held in other cities of China. The equestrian events will be held in Hong Kong.
This will be a great chance for the world to get a look inside the new China. When they hold the 2008 Summer Olympics in Beijing China, they will have a chance to show their new image to the whole world!

The New China
Since there will be the 2008 Summer Olympics in Beijing China, we want to learn more about China. The New China.Did you know China is changing incredibly fast? It is not the way you used to think of China, with peasants in straw hats. China is already a leader in technology and innovation -- not just manufacturing.
China is already among the world's biggest economies, and it's growing fast. It's among America's major creditors, and, some say, an emerging strategic rival. It's one of the world's biggest exporters and, potentially, the world's biggest market for goods and services. And hosting the 2008 Summer Olympics in Beijing China will only enhance this.
But China also has serious problems, with human rights, workers rights, political expression, freedom of movement, inequality, environmental issues and more.
Whether you see an awakening China as an opportunity or a threat, there's no doubt it will be a major player in the 21st century.
From Chinese companies' bids to take over U.S. companies to Beijing's decision to scrap its currency's peg to the U.S. dollar, there are many significant developments in the new China, including the 2008 Summer Olympics in Beijing China!

Much of China Doesn't Feel Connected to 2008 Summer Olympics in Beijing
While China is rushing to get ready for the 2008 Summer Olympics, for millions of Chinese in the interior of the country, far away from Beijing and other cities on the east coast, the Olympics will have little relevance to their lives.
"We know many big preparations are happening in Beijing through the TV and newspaper," says a student. "It is not a common topic of conversation among the students because we cannot do anything for it and it just seems kind of far from us."
"It is something that only the people in cities around Beijing care about," says a 22-year-old university student in Hunan province.
His sentiments are common among young people in China in 2007. It seems that instead of uniting the country behind a common goal, the Olympics have only widened the gap between interior China and its eastern seaboard.
