2008 Beijing Olympic Games
Beijing 2008: China’s Ten Commandments for a Civilized OlympicsPosted by Dror Poleg, December 17, 2007 9:44 AM
 The campaign consists of 10 signs, each featuring an introductory call to “Welcome the Olympics, Study the legislation of the 10 dos and don’ts” (迎奥运 学法律 十要十不要) followed by instructive duos such as “Respect Olympic Intellectual Property / Don’t trade in counterfeit goods”, “Save the beauty of the city and its surroundings / Don’t spit anywhere”, and – naturally – “Promote the awareness of the Olympic regulations / Don’t break the law with disregard to the broader impact ”. The campaign, published by the Local Judicial Authorities (区司法局), is the largest the city has seen since last year’s “Safari” campaign to welcome delegates of the Forum on China-Africa Cooperation (FOCAC).

 Diamond Hill by Feng Chi-shun: Feng's memoir Diamond Hill describes an era of gambling and gangsters, Suzie Wong and squatter villages, fires and food stalls, and the Kowloon Walled City and its white powder. "A time when people were poor, but life was rich," he says. The world that he grew up in no longer exists, but his book - the first ever on the Diamond Hill refugee settlement, in either Chinese or English - offers a candid picture of what life was like for most Hong Kong residents in the 1950s.
William A. Callahan's China: The Pessoptimist Nation: China: The Pessoptimist Nation shows how the heart of Chinese foreign policy is not a security dilemma, but an identity dilemma. Through a careful analysis of how Chinese people understand their new place in the world, the book charts how Chinese identity emerges through the interplay of positive and negative feelings in a dynamic that intertwines China's domestic and international politics.
The WTO ruling: a half victory at best: In August 2009, a World Trade Organization panel ruled against China's system of monopoly control over entertainment products. Was this the victory supporters hailed as the dawn of a new day for American and global entertainment companies in the China market?

Comments on Beijing 2008: China’s Ten Commandments for a Civilized Olympics
did u see Beijing traffic, it's terrible, i guess in Olympics beijing residences are going to have extra holidays, no work, stay at home watching TV please , or leave beijing please, we have a big show here
Yes. It's goign to be interesting to see how things work out in August. The more I think about it, the more it seems like a good idea to spend the Olympics in the Maldives or some other tropical island.
Let's all admit our inability to follow these commandments and just be sinners.
Billy Joel once said, "I'd rather laugh with the sinners than cry with the Saints"...Not sure why a boy from New Jersey would like a New Orleans football team.
now in china, the enrollment for the bj, tianjin, qingdao, hk, etc (u no, the host cities) have started to select volunteers and u know what, it's so complicated. in our uni, we got 2 rounds and in tianjin, we got several other rounds, including english paper and oral exams and talent show, or other things. and during the talent show part, i do some tai chi, ha. amazing, huh.
i even think it's not the olympic volunteer program enrollment, it's just like a talent show or speaking contest or chinese idol...
personal experience
