I agree with U. But west media always seen China with discrimination. Lots of messages were unrealistic. Their behavior were irresponsible.

Most of Chinese people were very friendly, how about other countrys? You have to self-examination . I think one world , one dream will not far from us any more. IF some 'Human Rights countrys' dont make any wars. The world will be peace and peace.

Very well said. I wasn't aware that countries besides the United States were ranking the total number of medals too, though. But I guess that goes to show you that Western media is really really biased.

I am an American! God Bless America.. I do hav to admit that I dont enjoy ppl here trash'n China & so much of it, due to the western media, I AGREE! The media does hav sumth'n to do with politics in some ways & it does affect the views of ppl. Pity that I see our media is being bias to some countries which is a competitor or feels that th'rs a threat to us. The 1st president of USA went to convince China to open its doors to the world, so they hav! STOP the racial comments & negativity on CHINA
