Re: China: Winter Olympics in Two photos





To be more Fair and Balanced here is the China State Media side.

I’m now following Spicy Panda on Twitter.

Gu I think is the American who competed for China. Careful poking the bear.

And my bet is that NBC, who is covering the games, will show not one single shot from an angle that shows the stacks, and will never mention them once.

Sorry, but you'll lose that one. They were discussing it this morning, probably because of all the chatter about it being a nuke power plant, and pointing out in reality it's a closed steel mill.
They have a nicely painted logo of the Olympics on the side of the cooling tower where the TV camera is set up to view the competitors from. Whole thing reminds me of movie Blade Runner, which I think was suppose to be around now. Really missing those flying cars.

As a comparison, here is the Innsbruck Austria Olympic Ski Jump.

It was not described as Hellscape.

Re: China: Winter Olympics in Two photos

Wow I can’t download the photo. Washed it several times. Finally was able to down load. The reality of Communism in one photo.

The ski jump is the white spot in the center of the photo.

If you have been watching you will recognize the three mile island cooling towers in the background.

BTW I searched the internet really hard for the photo using Bing and Google with no luck. You try.

Communism the dream vs the reality. This is the ski Jumping photo from I assume press packets. See aerial photo below. For the reality.
