I found that the Chinese universally thought WE were oppressed and THEY were free. This may have changed since I was there (10 years) but, given their nationalistic fervor, I doubt it.

The protesters are protesting the wrong body of government. They should be protesting the International Olympic Committee. China merely submitted a proposal and the IOC gave them the games. It's not like China was known for their views on Tibet or their 'democracy'. I say to the protesters..........get over it. Direct your anger towards the IOC.

China followed the rules. Now get off their back and let the athletes become the story of the game, not China's position on Tibet or the Sudan.
