Thousands complain to China officials over Games

Wednesday, October 20, 2010


Nearly 4,000 people attended a meeting hosted by Guangzhou's top Communist Party official and the city's mayor to complain about alleged injustices in the run-up to the Games, which begin on November 12, the Global Times reported.

After seven years of painstaking preparations, Guangzhou -- the southern city at the heart of China's economic miracle -- has reinvented itself for the Asiad, the biggest global sporting event after the Olympics.

Officials have admitted that Games preparations have been fraught with snags, including massive traffic jams during construction and the eviction of numerous unhappy residents to make room for scores of new building projects.
