If you are bored at work, or have a spare hour, I definitely recommend you take a look at this excellent documentary about that man who stood in front of those tanks in China..

It does beg the question, when the world focuses its attention on the forthcoming Olympics in that country, what will we truly see?

    Exactly what the Chinese government wants us to see, I should think.

    If anyone's interested, try going to google and searching for Tiananmen square, the place where the student protests took place, and said guy stood in front of said tank.

    Now go to <a href="http://www.google.cn" target="_blank">Google China</a> and search for the same thing.

    China is going to great lengths to make this the best Olympics in history -

    I think they are hiring SPECTRE to build the rockets.

    China's a rising power. And it's ingrained in their sense of nationalism to over compensate for the 2 centuries of humiliation inflicted by the Western powers and Japan.

    Nationalism is good for growth.
