Beijing Olympic Opening Ceremony

The Chinese Olympic Opening Ceremony was a bang, and was very interesting to watch too

Maybe its due to my super zai analytical mind, I kept thinking of the various motives behind each segment of the ceremony

Here's my conclusion:
1. China wants to tell the world not to mess with them, that they got immense human capital which can coordinate in whatever massive scale events they are in - look at the superb synchronization they showed in the various acts.

2. China wants to tell the world they got the technology, that they have super high definition projectors that can simultaneously screen the various images on the "bird nest" ceiling, and that they have a screen on the floor with super sharp quality

3. China wants to show the world the chinese culture: male dominance - do you realise most of the acts consists of ONLY males, and they only included females when they showed males playing the "dominant" role? They also showed that their people can fly and reach for the skies, especially when they got "faeries" floating around, and the gymnast (4got the name) floating around the "Bird Nest" for the final leg of the torch relay.

4. China wants to tell the world, they got them surrounded. During the countries segment, you can see the countries' teams all gathering into "pockets" that have Chinese as human wall. You look from above (via TV) it might seems as if China has the whole world surrounded

5. China wants to tell the world they are freaking rich. Look at the dazzling fireworks they showcased, and the various technologies they put in.

6. China wants to tell the world, they are extremely diplomatic. "Unheard of" countries even appeared, if I am not wrong all the African nations were invited.

Overall, I would like to commend China for their wonderful performance they put up, albeit the various messages they might be sending.
Spain, watch out, and get your brains cracking, because the bar has just been raised to the limit.

Disclaimer: I am not trying to spite China or anything, but those are my analysis of their performance.
