China, the olympics and Tibet.

1968 saw the student protests over the Olympics in Mexico.

There are high expectations that the Games will spark improvements in China's human rights record. When Beijing was chosen as the host city for the Games, both the Chinese authorities and the International Olympic Committee (IOC) spoke publicly of the “unique legacy” it would leave to China and to sport. This included progress in human rights.

Although there have been some positive changes since then, such as a reform of the death penalty system and greater reporting freedom for foreign journalists, these have been overshadowed by a deterioration in other areas.

I think more ordinary people should express their opinions on the Olympics, China and the current protests. The media is saying that it's a hardcore of activists but I feel that LOTS of people have an opinion and we should get them out there.
