China loves the Olympic spirit to death

The Olympic charter:

According to the Olympic Charter, established by Pierre de Coubertin, the goal of the Olympic Movement is to contribute to building a peaceful and better world by educating youth through sport practised without discrimination of any kind and in the Olympic spirit, which requires mutual understanding with a spirit of friendship, solidarity and fair play.
And China's implementation of that spirit:
China acknowledged Thursday that anti-government riots that rocked Tibet last week have spread to other provinces, while communist authorities announced the first group of arrests in connection with the violence.
Where are pro-democracy Americans now? You know, the ones who still talk about bringing democracy and freedom around the world? Where are they? Are they serious about democracy and freedom or only when it helps open up or expand business? Hypocrites.
