The Olympic games, set to take place in Beijing next year, are bringing China's progress into the limelight. The major concern at this time for the planners of the Olympics is the smog. The President of the International Olympic Committee went as far as to say that some of the endurance sports may have to be postponed if the pollution problem doesn't get better. Concerns over human rights violations are being brought up and issues are being addressed that might otherwise be avoided. I am so glad that China has been given the chance to host the Olympics and show the world its development. In the same token, I'm glad important issues like the environment and human rights are being brought up and China is being forced to deal with them.
