Posted by Matt in June 2nd, 2008

Winning and then staging what are sure to be spectacular and successful games will help justify the party’s continued rigid authority, and let it bask in most Chinese people’s excitement to be hosts.

But the games will also be seen as one of history’s most expensive, and well-orchestrated, coming-out parties.

China, Shanghai Makeover (Part1of5)
Modern China Because of Shanghai's status as the cultural and economic center of East Asia for the first half of the twentieth century, it is popularly seen as the birthplace of everything considered modern in China. It was in Shanghai, for example, that the first motor car was driven and the first train tracks and modern sewers were laid. It was also the intellectual battleground between socialist writers who concentrated on critical realism (pioneered by Lu Xun and Mao Dun) and the more "bourgeois", more romantic and aesthetically inclined writers (such as Shi Zhecun, Shao Xunmei, Ye Lingfeng, Eileen Chang). Two women wear Shanghai-styled qipao while playing golf in this 1930s Shanghai advertisement.Besides literature, Shanghai was also the birthplace of Chinese cinema & theater....

Chinese KungFu中国武术-DianXue点穴6-4
Sanshou (Chinese: 散手; pinyin: sǎnshǒu; literally "free hand") or Sanda (Chinese: 散打; pinyin: sǎndǎ; literally "free fighting") is a modern Chinese hand to hand combat, self-defense system, and combat sport.

The term Sanda has a longer history and is more commonly used. Sanshou was the official name given to the martial art when it was formalized and standardized by the Chinese government.
