China's continual humans rights abuses and the Olympics; and how is this a surprise?!

In the news, we continue to hear about how residents in Beijing aren't being treated especially well, particularly the impoverished residents. We've heard plenty recently about the crackdown on protesters in Tibet. How are we surprised that the Chinese government is doing all this? We should have never entertained the possibility of China hosting the Olympics to begin with. The Chinese government hasn't shown any evidence that they are interested in taking care of its citizens, let alone other people. It's a totalitarian regime, for crying out loud!

It's late, and I'm frustrated that China was EVER considered as a possibility for hosting the Olympics.
