BeijingWideOpen.org Lives On!
Due to overwhelming popular demand, Lhadon’s blog, BeijingWideOpen.org, will live on. Lhadon will continue to provide smart, provocative commentary on the Beijing Olympics, and her readers will continue to have a free space to debate (a freedom that is sadly absent in Tibet or China).
What next for Beijing Wide Open after exposing the Chinese government’s Olympic propaganda on Tibet, blogging right under Mao’s nose, calling out the IOC for its spinelessness, and refusing to be silenced despite intimidation and deportation?
Well, for a start, Lhadon writes about how the Chinese co-designer of the Birds Nest stadium has come out against the Beijing Olympics!
Ai Wei Wei, one of China’s most celebrated artists and the designer of the Bird’s Nest, has come out against Beijing’s Olympics. In this unbelievably damning report from Al Jazeera posted on YouTube, Ai Wei Wei says that the Olympics don’t represent the true face of China and he wants nothing more to do with them anymore.
