This point was put to Wang Wei, executive vice-president of the Beijing organising committee at a press conference today. "I think you are being very meticulous," he said. He said it was "traditional" to use dancers from other ethnic groups in this way.
Hey that's the same guy who lost an argument with a P-3. Resurrected as Beijing Bob, looks like.

I really identified with Rush, when he was talking about the opening ceremonies.
He said they were beautiful, but they should send a chill up the spine. All these people acting exactly alike.
He also noted something that had really bothered me. The children went up to the military sort of goosestepping, carrying the flag, and the NBC commentator made this comment about how now the state was the guardian of the children. He sounded like he considered it a good idea.
Rush said it really bothered him. I thought it was the creepiest thing I’ve seen in years.

I fail to see what the fuss is about - it was a show, and a pretty good show at that. Think Hollywood, think Broadway, think the Ziegfeld Follies or Ice Capades on a massive scale. It was entertainment.
The thing to bitch about would be the age of a couple women’s gymnasts, not a floor show.

I would imagine them JUST to pull this kind of sh*t.
They won't like it when they are exposed and seen on the world stage as liars and fakers. Loss of face? Tough. Then dont lie, got it China?

It was at this point in the ceremony that one of the TV announcers stated the symbolic meaning of the moment.
...the state holds responsibility for the children...
And I nearly fell out of my chair with his statement as he continued to spew the benefits of that type of situation.

I am sure the Chinese government would say that these a child actors just as we have in our Hollywood. No deceit, just false imagery.

Imagine if Hitler had used Aryans posing as Jews during the ‘36 Games, to try to convince the world that the Nazis were really good guys.
That is in essence what the ChiComs did here.
