2008_Beinjing,China_Olympic_Games_Controversy

2008 Beinjing,China Olympic Games Controversy On July 13th 2001, China was chosen among several nations like Turkey, Japan, France and Canada to organize the Olympics. Whether or not China should have been granted this opportunity remains a sensitive issue for many. As for me, I totally agree with the selection of Beijing, China as the host city of the 2008 Summer Olympic Games. Many believe that China should not have been awarded the games based on alleged civil rights abuses on the part of the Chinese communist government towards its own dissidents. In this paper, I will talk about all the allegations put towards China as to why they should not have been awarded the games and explain why I believe that the decision to give Beijing the games was the right one. The allegations are well deserved. Due to communism, the preoccupation of the Chinese authorities is to maintain social stability in order to keep the power. Nowadays in China there is no freedom of association, no free speech and no press freedom. Journalists are not able to do their job freely because they could be prosecuted and jailed if their work is judged "against the Party". The most important repression of free speech concerns china, chinese, rights, people, human, country, been, world, situation, olympics, olympic, respect, games, democracy, because, authorities, years, values, principles, international, executions, charter, believe, before, about, xinjiang, western, views, towards, tibet, state, should, same, political, past, party
