Because of the 2008 Summer Olympics, the world is noticing China more than ever before. This image of a Chinese military official in front of the Bird's Nest says that China is not afraid to display its power. The figure exudes cool authority in front of a spectacular event. Since many have been concerned about protests and/ or terrorist strikes, China may also be trying to draw attention to the tight security of the summer games. China has used this image and others like it from the Olympics to show to the world that it is not just the name on their consumer products.
