The bleak concrete walls topped with razor wire and the sentries in towers at the gates are a chilling reminder of a different era.

On the nearby roads, heavily armed guards patrol relentlessly, checking both drivers and pedestrians, constantly alert.

Meanwhile, less than 30 miles away, the world’s attention is focused on the world-famous ‘Bird’s Nest’ Olympic stadium and the other venues where a global audience of two billion is watching the Games and enjoying the spectacle of the ‘new’ China.

   hmmm…I am actually skeptical of the article. Read the comments on the linked site. I have lived in China and agree with others posting there – it really doesn’t seem to be that way – although of course it could be since it is a totalitarian state – yet the totalitarianism is different than as we would conceive of it in the west. I am really not sure how much a part of the nwo China is…
