Olympics Reflect Political Situation

On the eve of the 2008 Olympic Games in Beijing there is a lot of talk about China, politics and sport.

But a look back in time tells us something different. … The Olympics have always been a reflection of the political situation. That is why the issues surrounding Tibet, human rights abuses and worker exploitation in China can not be separated from the 2008 Olympic Games.
