While I was in China I saw many Beijing streets demolished in preparation for construction for the Olympics. This seems to be the price being paid by the ordinary people. Note that in one location "each family would eventually be given a small flat - but not for two years." So much for communism. Marx, I can hear you rolling in that grave of your's!

In Cambodia we have an Australian Embassy, in China the Olympics. Surely the word 'boycott' springs to mind.
