A post at athlists.com has been enthusiastically digged (up to now 2,429 diggs!). Athlists.com finds itself in naive posture, I think, when listing some phenomena and summ it up as "Fake Olympics".
The deeper question is, what is behind the difference on the surface? The Western hemisphere has a different appreciation of authenticity, the "real thing", originality and feels deceived, when things like this happen.
I don't know enough about Chinese mentality, but I suppose it is deeper rooted than in the decades of stupid indoctrination of the "Communist Party" (which is more similar to feudalist structure and with so much corruption all over the country). Manic striving to perfection ends in simulation and inhumanity. The idea of antique Olympics was quite the opposite of what is it today I suppose.
