"Few Chinese have been outraged by ...... digitally created." ---- This is not really true, I and lots of my friends can never support this kind of cheating, the fake voice of the seven years old little girl is really a shame of China. But I support Chen Qigang, who has the guts to say the truth.

We China also has a proverb that says"Don't pick out bones in eggs." China is always accelerating it's developing pace in economy to display our dynamic cities and national image. I can't figure out why you always attempt to slur our reputation! Are you jealous? I hope not. But, don't be repellent!!

Maybe you should change your mind!
Welcome to Beijjing, welcome to Shanghai!
We are one family in the world!

During the 2012 Olympic Games in London, would u dare to leave all your garbages on the street? Wouldn't u wanna show some friendly sides of u English people? Do u really wanna dip ur head in a garbage bin on Bejing's street? Go ahead if u r always eyeing on the "dirty" sides of other countries.

'Fake', 'shame': who has the right to define?
For differences in concepts of representation and composition between the east and the west. Please mind the gap before you impose you Western notion upon their good intentions. Instead, sympathy to them as a developing nation is more appropriate.

DICTATORship？Rome was not bulit in one day.At least we have been improving in the past 30 years and achieved success! It is just the difference of how Chinese people value things from the western world! Individualism is not appreciated in China while nation's pride takes precedence of anything else

We in Westernized countries, of course, NEVER overvalue appearances - not in advertising, job interviews or plastic surgery. Once again, "Chinese" faults are attributed to a strategy that could just have easily been concocted in Paris or London.

The world ought to remember that China is still a DICTATORship; a closed society. Not a democracy. The world media is so stupid and they have been bought by the Chinese to give good coverage of a farcical Olympics.....JR

I'm really sort of fascinated by the paranoid levels of suspicion with which the British media seems to regard China. But also probably a little disgusted. But what really astounds me is how anyone could think that culling volunteers to watch sports games is symptomatic of repression.

beijing has given a perfect opening ceremony,it is enough for all over the world. why somebody criticises it with prejudice and hositility.dont forget london will host olympics in 2012.

Empty seats in the stadium will obviously have negative impact on the athletes. The Chinese government is forced by the situation. I don't think this is a problem of shame, on the contrary the cheer squads should be praised as they cheered up athletes from all around the world including the UK.
