IIPM - Admission Procedure

If the glitzy showCould China’s Olympic preparations lead it to an unrelenting quagmire? at Tiananmen Square is any thing to go by, then come August 2008, the dragon is all set to spew fire, this time not a fire of er... lead laden toys, but a fire of publicity. The world’s largest authoritarian state has pushed forward its infrastructural preparations with incredible speed and resolve. The countdown to the Beijing Olympics aptly marks China’s readiness for “One World; One Dream.” It can be easily judged by the impressive collection of new as well as renovated sports venues, newly built roads, railways, metros and the draconian measures undertaken to restrict traffic & industrial activity. Ever since 2001, when Beijing was elected to host the Olympics of 2008, things have changed for the better at a furious rate. Former venues like Los Angeles, Seoul & Athens have been finally outpaced. Construction & pollution control are scheduled to be completed by the year end, so is work in 36 out of the 37 venues.
