Not sure what he big deal is. There are a lot of people here who are small and missing teeth. Hell, I fit that description. In general, the reaction here is, ‘well it’s a dumb rule’ (no quips about child labor, please).

Not that I’d put a conspiracy beyond the reach of the central government (some people here are saying that the entire Chinese olympic team is doping). That seems a bit far fetched.

Also, am back from Beijing. Had a chance to see Men’s Beach Volleyball, and the fateful Track and Field event on Monday.
