Flaunt The Imperfection - China Crisis

Advantages: None
Disadvantages: Human rights violations

...While the world waits in collective anticipation for the start of the Beijing Olympics let us all take stock and reflect on the many reasons why China should never have been awarded the games in the first place. China is a country which I have always vowed to visit as I find it both beautiful and fascinating and would love to walk a small part of the Great Wall as I think it is awesome.!!
