Re: And so the 2008 Beijing Olympic begins
When the history of the 21st century is written, the growth and modernization of China will, I believe, be one of the most significant chapters.
The 2008 Olympics in Beijing may be the opening paragraph in that chapter. It was spectacular.
The pollution, poverty, corruption and injustice of China today cannot be downplayed. But it will, I hope, be a contrast for how far they will have come 92 years from now.
They have a long way to go, but they are moving faster than any country on earth.
