First steps for China

As a new superpower in the global economy, China already has considerable international recognition. But, how much does the average person really know about it? Not a lot. China has, and rightly so, been viewed in negative light due to widespread human rights violations but their show during the Olympics succeeded in using the international platform to educate the world on Chinese culture, history and way of life. We saw their contributions to modern civilization, the humanist ruling of Confucian ethics, and the coming together of their many ethnic groups. The Games were an educational experience, and we certainly walked away educated, inspired and a little bit awed all at once. If nothing else it certainly demonstrated the power of a sports event. China is not done in trying to build a new image, but in two short weeks they have definitely moved their image further than they have in the last two decades.
