aliasinkhorn discovered 3 months ago- 'Olympic president makes rare criticism of China' From the page: "China faced rare criticism of its human rights record from the head of the International Olympics Committee on Thursday, even as calls for a boycott of the opening ceremony of the games grew louder in Europe and the United States. Jason Lee/Reuters Chairman of the IOC, Jacques Rogge, listening to a question during a press conference in Beijing on Thursday. The president of the Olympic committee, Jacques Rogge, called on the authorities in Beijing to respect their "moral engagement" to improve human rights in the months leading up to the games and to provide the news media with greater access to the country. He also described the protests that have dogged the international Olympics torch relay as a "crisis" for the organization. Though Rogge predicted the Games would still be a success, his comments were a sharp departure from previous statements in which he avoided any mention of politics. Beijing quickly rejected his remarks and said they amounted to meddling in its internal affairs."

- From the page: "While China has faced violent attacks from Muslim groups, unflinching social controls have prevented the emergence of a sustained terrorist threat in the country. Some analysts have suggested that widely publicized discoveries of weapons caches and terrorist plots are part of a larger effort to present domestic unrest as a form of international terrorism that the world should help China suppress."
