The Beijing Olympic Games are over, and there is no denying that China is the winner for two reasons. On the one hand, the Chinese won the most golds, leading the Americans 51 to 36. On the other hand, China received unprecedented media coverage for holding Olympic Games, most of which was positive.

 北京奧林匹克比賽結束了，無可否認的，基於以下兩個理由，中國是最大贏家。第一，中國在比賽中贏得最多金牌，以51面領先美國的36面。第二，中國由於主辦此次比賽，獲得史無前例的媒體爭相報導，絕大多數都是正面的新聞。

People took to the streets on August 30 to voice their anger against President Ma’s “misguided” foreign and economic policies, which in their point of view are detrimental to their personal and national interests.

人們在8月30日走上街頭，對馬總統的“錯誤”外交及經濟政策發出怒吼，在他們眼中，這些政策對他們個人及國家利益造成損害。
