December 4, 2007: Pollution at Beijing Olympics site - Page 2

lookout123 · 12-07-2007, 02:25 PM

the women's world cup competition was in china a few months back. they used fields that are to be used for the olympics. the fields were in crappy condition. i mean really bad. the players also said that the air quality did effect their stamina. china is not ready for the olympics yet, and i am skeptical that a few more months will make it any better.

and you may all think i'm crazy but i still believe that the olympics will actually result in some large foreign investors' decisions to stop investing in China.

Between the pollution and the demonstrations from Tibetans, Ughiers and other ethnic minorities who don't like being occupied, it might diminish the investment potential.

Since of course we didn't stop from their poisoning our dogs and cats with melamine, putting lead and date rape drugs in our kid's toys (coma, kid?) and antifreeze in our toothpaste and cough syrup. I mean we must have some limits...

Maybe it is pollution.

all those things were reported on the evening news by "journalists". we don't trust them. we listen, but we don't trust them.

the olympics will have pretty much 24/7 coverage on tv that we can watch with our own eyes. that coverage will be with sports reporters and analysts. we'll listen and trust what they say because they aren't smooth and polished enough to not mention stupid stuff they see. they'll talk about the way pollution is affecting athletes.

a lot of rich folks go to the olympics. they'll see first hand. when meeting with their advisors they may or may not decide that "emerging market" has emerged enough for awhile and put their money elsewhere.
