People like you are the ones with no idea, you have no idea how far it has gone in China, Nazi Germany would be envious. Watch a video of how they have trained their athletes for this, the contracts they have forced their trainers to sign (guaranteeing gold medals), how they have told past Olympic champions if they don't win again their previous victories mean nothing, how MANY people they have displaced and hidden behind walls like this: http://omoikane.minstrum.net/one-world.jpg, how quickly they jump on just about any individual of interest talking to the media is surrounded with plain clothed police in the background. It goes on and on and on, and idiots like you are the ones with no idea. If China were a white or European country maybe the self-hating emo's like you might have the courage to actually question their actions, but because they are not you sit around finding a way to blame those who do.
