Olympic Games 2008

 

I have started doing a news-based magazine on the upcoming Olympic Games in China and in researching this subject I have looked upon many interesting news-sites and blogs and signed up to the South China Morning Post (www.scmp.com) to learn more about a story regarding the arrest of their photographer Felix Wong who was involved in a scuffle with policemen who were forcibly removing journalists who where filming the chaotic scenes as thousands queued for tickets and it got out of control.

The amount of blogs and sites calling for the boycott of the games are too numerous to list here but a well-written one that gives facts and quotes from reputable news agencies is http//boycott2008games.blogspot.com/

It is obvious from reading through some of the posts just how many people are vehemently opposed to these games and I can see the protests continuing for the duration of the events.
