No Chinese giveaway over Olympic plans
Independent on Sunday, The, Dec 30, 2007
No manpower problems in Beijing, where the Olympic year begins with all 36 Olympic venues completed, save the 91,000-capacity "Bird's Nest" main stadium, which they say will be ready by the end of March. However, we suspect the smog anticipated in August may give a new meaning to Bird's Nest soup.
Equally less than transparent is China's coyness about the preparation of their athletes, as they reject all requests from foreign media to visit their training camps, despite promises of "openness" made to the IOC. Which makes you wonder what they have got to hide.
