I don't know if you watched the cute Chinese little girl who sang at the Olympic opening ceremony. In fact what I noticed is that she was probably singing in playback, what I could not imagine when reading the press today is that she was not the original singer.

China seems to be obsessed to give the perfect impression to the world, but the message between lines is that China makes no exception: Discrimination on the grounds of the way you look and the pressure of image is a global trend and it starts sooner than you think...
