575 days left to the Olympic games 2008. The Olympic Games in Beijing is expected to be the greatest event ever. The host country is eager to show the world the “new modern China”. One world one Dream is the slogan for the Olympic games 2008. In Chinese, the word "tongyi", which means "the same", is used for the English word "One". The slogan is supposed to  highlight the theme of "the whole Mankind lives in the same world and seeks for the same dream and ideal".The official interpretation of the slogan is:
 
“One World One Dream reflects the essence and the universal values of the Olympic spirit -Unity, Friendship, Progress, Harmony, Participation and Dream. It expresses the common wishes of people all over the world, inspired by the Olympic ideals, to strive for a bright future of Mankind. In spite of the differences in colours, languages and races, we share the charm and joy of the Olympic Games, and together we seek for the ideal of Mankind for peace. We belong to the same world and we share the same aspirations and dreams…

One World, One Dream" is simple in expressions, but profound in meaning. It is of China, and also of the world. It conveys the lofty ideal of the people in Beijing as well as in China to share the global community and civilization and to create a bright future hand in hand with the people from the rest of the world. It expresses the firm belief of a great nation, with a long history of 5,000 years and on its way towards modernization, that is committed to peaceful development, harmonious society and people's happiness.It voices the aspirations of 1.3 billion Chinese people to contribute to the establishment of a peaceful and bright world.”

In my opinion some questions have to be raised talking about the Olympic Games in China , Is the Olympic dream for everybody, even for the poor in China? How will China’s control of domestic and international media and the Internet play out when thousands of international journalists descend on Beijing? And as international businesses reach out to the world’s largest consumer market, how do China’s restrictions on labor rights affect workers on the ground?
