It was a fabulous ceremony. I think you have to take it in context with what China was like just 30 years ago. Its easy for us to point out flaws and cite the defects in the society. I notice no one is ready to point out the defects in their own society. Unfortuantely the event was marred by tradgedy as a chinese man murdered an American tourist and seriousily injured the tourist wife and tour guide before killing himself. Within sight of the main event. Despite all the security and police. Another freedom we enjoy in the west China now has experienced a random act of brutal violence.
