China is still a very poor country, and starvation is still a big problem. Lots of child in remote area have no chance to go to school. However, the government will spend several billion USD to build lots of fancy sport facilities for this game in Beijing. It's waste of money. Westerners never understand what's going on in China.
China never is an ideal place to host the game.
I do support Beijing to host the Olympic Game in 2008, because I am a Chinese. Yy, I support Beijing holding the Olympic Game, because it is a very beautiful and historic city. It will both improve the democracy in China and make the world get to know the real China. Those who oppose Beijing to host the Games is not because of Beijing's human rights, but because they dislike China, a strong China. The government of China has done a lot of things to improve the environment and put into so much money and power .
