Thing is, it's the Chinese who understand the situation better than we do.  We are 
still labouring under the delusion that the Olympics are about that "higher, 
stronger, faster" crap.  The Chinese understand that it's about eyeballs glued to  
screens, TV budgets, entertainment, and image.  If you have one girl who can sing, 
and one who looks cute, you put the singer under the stage with a mike, and tell 
the cute one to stand on stage and make like a goldfish.  Fireworks are expensive 
and unreliable, so you fake up a tape, and make sure that nobody can get any video 
of the real stuff: you control the horizontal and vertical.

If anyone catches on, you try and divert attention:

If all else fails, you remind the media who's really in charge:

You didn't really think the Olympics were about honest effort did you?  (Now, if 
only we can get people to forget about that drug testing nonsense ...)

Anyone can make a decision given enough facts. A good manager can
make a decision without enough data. A perfect manager can decide
in perfect ignorance.
