In less than 500 days, Beijing Olympic will begin. Wang Xiaofeng has some wild thoughts (zh) about the Beijing city: 1. half of the population will leave the city to give space to foreigners; 2. the city will become very clean with a mixture of real and plastic flowers; 3. no more traffic jam; 4. people will become polite… 7. the sky of Beijing will turn blue; 8. audiences will cheer for both teams; 9. crime rate drops to zero; 10. all sport news, no more social news.

5000 years of history and cultural developments to share with the world. This means more opportunity for both this developing country and country seeking a good partnership with this very promissing land. The Olympic will present China to the world. This is certainly a good thing.
