China fakes portions of opening cermonies

We welcome China into the world stage, but something isn't quite right...

First, the sixteen year old gymnasts for China appear to be twelve, rather than the required age of 16 ...
Now, we learn that some of the opening ceremonies were faked for various reasons ...

A portion of the fireworks were computer enhanced for the opening ceremonies, including a fake shake to simulate a helicopter filming the event. Then, a young lady didn't actually sing and her voice wasn't even hers. Apparently, the real singer didn't have the beauty that the China officials required, so they taped the music and had some one else lip sync for the opening ceremonies.

It will be interesting to see how public policy is shaped in the future with the role China plays in our world community.
