Chinese 'smog'

OK-- its over- the Beijing Olympics so we can ask, "were the Chinese having fun? " Did the rest of us who were watching mishandling and cheating enjoying ourselves? Is this the Olympics the IOC hoped they’d awarded – of course not. Especially not after the ITN journalist has been ‘stomped on’ for doing his job.
So - why is this about climate triage? Because China has to reform and move (faster) to a low-carbon economy. Did the Olympics help towards this goal?
Why does it seem that China is cheating at everything? Is this because of political interference or a fear of displaying of inadequacy or weakness? First they use computer-generated fireworks that were shown on every TV screen around the world China – the nation that invented fireworks is showing a computer-created facsimile! Then, pigtailed and smiling, Lin Miaoke turns out not to have been singing at the Opening Ceremony – some other little child who wasn’t as pretty did the voice-over. Now, there is even some trouble about the little girls who don’t even look close to 16 but despite this have just won the gymnastics gold.
