The Chinese just don't get it. The mechanics of repression have eaten so deeply into what remains of their soul that they cannot just let go. Promises have been made to the West but when it comes down to it they cannot move away from the old ways - even for a few weeks. A facade of tolerance is appearing but once the Games are over the regime will re-exert itself. It's the only way they know.
Bit harsh? Possibly but let's wait and see.
