Electricity Rationing Hits Shandong, Hubei
And no it is NOT to keep the lights on in Beijing during the Olympics...
Disruption in coal supplies and shortage of generation and transmission capacity in China is affecting China. Particularly hard hit is aluminum smelting.
A massive infrastructure build with even more cental investment spending is looming in China's future. More on that soon!

Tibet Protestors Desecrate Historic, Holy Sites
Small groups of angry demonstrators demanding "peace" desecrated the historic site of the ancient Olympic Games in Olympia, Greece, and a Buddhist shrine in Nepal yesterday in a carefully orchestrated global publicity stunt connected to if not coordinated by the the Dalai Lama.
In Olympia, Greece, birthplace of the ancient Olympic Games, demonstrators were prevented from staging their "freedom run" by local police. Olympia Mayor Giorgos Aidonis said “Olympia is a site of peace, not a place for political conflict or the settlement of disputes.”
Other protests occurred outside the Boudhanath holy shrine in Nepal, in New Delhi, and outside the San Francisco City Hall.

Chinese Troops In Darfur
Be careful what you ask for, Mia Farrow: Chinese troops will form part of the "peacekeeping" force under United Nations auspices according to news reports (here, the Sydney Morning Herald). Still, Hollywood hypocrites and the hysterical left fringe and far-right warmongers in the USA want a boycott of the Beijing 2008 Olympics even though the US Olympic Committee is dead set against a boycott and President Bush accepted an invitation to attend next summer's Olympics in Beijing.
