The road to Beijing: the perils and possibilities of holding the Olympic Games in a police state.(CHINA)
THE Beijing Olympics are approaching: They will begin on August 8. They were scheduled to begin earlier, on July 25--but the government's meteorologists counseled that the start be delayed, increasing the chances of fair weather. Everything must be perfect for the Beijing Olympics: They are China's "coming-out party," as everyone says.
The Olympics are, indeed, a pivotal moment for China, and its Communist government (if the two can be separated). Other countries are facing an important moment too, where their China policies are concerned. These Olympics have raised the question, What is China? and a correlative question: How is the world to regard and treat it?
