Under the surface.

China tries to portray itself as a modern superpower both culturally and economically. They went to incredible lengths during this year's Olympics to keep all their dirty laundry hidden from the world view. For the most part the International press bought the act and bent to the Chinese will so that they could cover the The games rather than be thrown out of the country.

The truth is that while China may have the biggest and fastest growing economy but that growth is having frightening effects on the rural people of China. This is really sad shit...and it's partly our fault.
