Meetings Leading up to Olympics Cancelled...


France among other European nations and US corporations are hesitant about China's failure to change the status quo anticipating the upcoming Olympic games. Charles Bremmer of The Times online has been keeping on top of the story since last week. The amount of decisionmaking that goes into selecting a host for the games alone should have probably motivated China, albeit by embarrassment, into a period of reform. However, I think the country thought it was best to "capitalize" on the opportunity, save the lives, limbs, and judgments lost. The article also mentions a Chinese website designed to boycott French products. I can't translate the page right now, but I cannot think of any purely French products widely sold worldwide. Charles Bremmer also has a new blog.
