Do you think China will ever be allowed to host the Olympics again?

Question

I read this article about how China was making their citizens take turn driving their cars. One day even license plates were allowed to drive and the next day odd license plates were allowed to help with their smog problem. From what I understood, some of the athletes were not competing in some of the events because they were scared the air would hurt their health. On top of that, there has been a murder. Should a place this unhealthy really be allowed to host an event such as the Olympics?

Answer 1

That care thing isn't new, they do that in Mexico City. They probably will hose the Olympics again in years to come. They do have the right to, like all other countries.  

Answer 2

awww.. poor athletes are scared that a few days in China will hurt their health!   never mind the fact that the Chinese people live their whole lives there..  

with that much unhealthy smog, they must have some serious underpopulation problems in China!   ;)

Answer 3

We had a murder in Atlanta by a goofball bomber! and that won't stop the USA from hosting again! Los Angeles has bad smog and it didn't stop them! China has opened up its country to the world and I think they are doing a fantastic job!  

Answer 4

the reason i think theyw ont host it again is exactly ehat you said...there has been a murder, athletes had to have face masks on when they got there, and there are always government problems there. with the athletes opinion, i do not think it will be there again

Answer 5

Likely ... although the next one won't be until at least 2020+, the next Olympics that China will want to host is the WINTER OLYMPICS, NOT the summer Olympics.

Answer 6

You are right that a lot of people there are experiencing some sort of inconveniences or controversies or murder. But can anyone guarantee that London 2012 will be free from all the trouble? Besides the smog problem, can London or even other future organizers be sure that they will be no murder or terrorist?

I think the Chinese deserved their credits after a spectacular Olympic opening. If you watched the opening ceremony, I bet you never see anything like this before. They have put in a lot of effort and you should know that organizing an Olympic isn't an easy task.

I strongly believe that China should be given another chance to host the Olympics or other major events but not in Beijing.  

Answer 7

Well, you see, they might but there are people that say that in china, it is VERY polluted, also known as smog, and that may prevent it from hosting it there.
