Is the world going crazy for China?

It's weird. It's not even hilarious. But something is going wild for China.

The Olympics torch that passes through London and Paris were marked with angry mobs trying to entinguish it. The government is so jumpy about the situation here in China that lighters and matches are banned and included in the forbidden lists to be on board any plane. Students who wants to apply for high school here in China needs to go through some physical exams, ending up with some students thinking about the notion of doping to increase a short term burst of performance. Some people here who want to have a slim body are considering about actually eating roundworm eggs which can lead to Anemia. And the Chinese government is digging out serious archives to indicate Tibet will never be seperable from China. What has the world revolve to nowadays?

I find it rather interesting that all eyes are on China. China got the best attention, whether as an economical player, a sports player, and even as a political player. People from all over the world looks at China now. But somehow, some things are rather not so good to look at. The Chinese government understands this.

Amidst all this, it is interesting to know that the Chinese are still prideful of everything, and wishes everything will turn out well. I believe most will be relieved when the Olympics is over in Beijing this coming August. And then, more things will surfaced and be in need to be resolved.

As a foriegner here, I am just glad the weather turns good here in Shanghai, and snicker about the freak weather in Paris as snow runs down a couple of days ago.
