Isi artikel

When the Olympic Games take place in Beijing next summer, the author will not be there. The obvious reason for this is that he was a student leader in the protests of Jun 4, 1989 that resulted in the Tiananmen Square massacre. The author has been in exile ever since. But the less obvious corollary is that he -- and untold numbers of freedom-loving people -- will not be there because China has not embraced the Olympic spirit. If the Chinese government had embraced the Olympic spirit of unity, inclusiveness and equality, many of those who are exiled from their homeland would return to be in Beijing next year. But this cannot happen, and that fact makes a mockery of China's "One World, One Dream" slogan for the Beijing games, and its pretensions to being a mature member of the global community.
