If it cost China $40 Billion in total (constructions, people, investment..etc) to put on the Olympics?

Question

How much would they make out of them, or would they make a loss? Also if China could find $40 billion for that why cant they find money for important things like Earthquakes, Floods, Starving people, etc etc etc , They have one of the worse Human Rights Issues going at the moment, "After decades of repression, Tibetans are crying out to the world for change. China's leaders are right now making a crucial choice between escalating repression or dialogue that could determine the future of Tibet, and China." It seems to me that China's Priorities are wrong, and that the Olympics should never have been given to China, what happened to Peace and Harmony? Its so Hypocritical it makes me laugh.

Answer 1

Tibet will never be an indepandant country so you might as well give up on that.  As per starving, there's not much if any of that going on. Exactly what "Human rights" abuses do you refer to? Trying to be responsible by implimenting a 1 child policy in a severly overcrowded country? There is no child labour, and destitute peasants starving to death.

Could 40 billion be spent better? Yes. Did the US need to spend 1.2 billion per every new F22 Raptor fighter jet when it 's completely unnecessary? No, but people from all walks of life seem to like it, so there you go.

Answer 2

You people really make me sick.

What about the starving and homeless in the USA?  We throw money into Iraq for a war, that could be better used back home.

Let us not forget New Orleans and the hurricane there, that was a total s***w up too.

What about the drug epidemic in our cities and least not forget violent crime.

Why do we spend so much money on NASA, when we need to take care of our own planet first?

I love how the USA points their finger at other countries when we have more than our share of problems back home.

Answer 3

Well, you know what i think you need to make sure that your own country don't have problem before you talk about whats happening to other country...

and China spend  $40 billion not to make money in the olympics but they are thinking for the near future so that many tourist that will go to there country. and they have a many historical places thats why many tourist that going there.

you know what makes me laugh you. i think your over acting.

Answer 4

To be honest there are always things a country can always spend its money one. But has shown down history then a country improves its standards it will want to spend money to show it off or better its country, ie nuclear power, the bomb, space travel etc etc holding the Olympics is one of those things.

Answer 5

so does your self question/self answer make me laugh.

well at least we didn't BORROW $40 billion to spend it on WARS.

wait, I think China has somewhere between $500 billion to $1 trillion US bonds. And the War in Iraq will cost you about $3 trillion.

Human rights? think about the children who lost their parents, parents who buried their kids because of your STUPID WAR OF OIL!

and one more thing, GUANTANAMO PRISON

Answer 6

Every country is
