Summary/Abstract: Here come the Chinese Olympics, with special pigs, dirty air, absorbing sand, spraypainted grass and birds nests and other grandiose preparations, all in the shadow of human rights abuses and Chinese “non-intervention”. "As far as practical preparations go, Beijing is in the home stretch, but there has been no great progress in the democratization of the country."
