Same plan for the world as that other goose-stepper in ‘38

I know. It’s very creepy. They were there earlier to raise the Chinese flag, too.

Peking, Peiping, Beijing — all are romanizations of the same Chinese characters (meaning Northern Capital) The pronounciation of those characters remains the same.
LOL! I said that I hated to be picky -— but I guess I am!!

They can goosestep all they want when they carry THEIR flag. That Olympic flag is humanity’s flag.
It was heartening to hear the crowd making the same noises that are heard at Lambeau field when the refs make a hideous call.

That’s not correct. Peiping was the name of the city when it was not the capital. It was later changed to Beijing when it was made the capital.

Whoa, what would happen if this dude drops the torch? How embarrassing would that be? I assume he didnt since this already happened.

I’m glad this is taped! I wouldn’t be able to look at what he is doing! I’m really impressed with this.
