 Blogs Wenyunchao Files 200710071849China1

“One World, One Dream” is the official slogan of the 2008 Olympics and can be seen everywhere in Beijng. There are other lesser known slogans that foreign guests may not see. For example, the above photo taken in a back street in Beijing emerged recently in the Chinese blogosphere. Those political slogan banners are often used as a way for local officials and “residential committees” to mobilize the public to implement official policies.

The banner in this photo reads: “Go Out Less To Let Foreign Guests Have Broad Roads For Smooth Transportation.”
