FOR HEAVEN'S SAKE, STOP THE OLYMPIC FLAME
Now, this is getting really weird. The Olympic flame is crossing the world and everywhere, it needs to be protected from protesters who do not wish to support these Olympic Games in a country which is oppressing Tibet and systematically violating human rights. However, it seems ridiculous when Chinese leaders talk about “a pure sports event” which should not be mixed up with politics. This truly is a great lesson from a country which, for political reasons, has boycotted Olympic Games for 30 years. Remember, China protested against the participation of Taiwan, claiming that Taiwan belonged to China. So, the champion of the political Olympic boycott tells us that all this is not political.

CHINESE TOYING WITH THE OLYMPICS
Another blow for Chinese toys manufactures was the latest news from the USA and Australia with the recall of millions of toys due to a drug contained in the coating of the toys. I decided to check in my daughter’s room, not to make sure what toys were made in China, but how many things she has from the last Olympics in Greece.13:41 Publié dans ENGLISH EDITION , SOCIETE , SPORT , THANOS KALAMIDAS | Lien permanent | Commentaires (0) | Envoyer cette note | Tags : sport, china, toys, thanos kalamidas, europeus
