Video: Naked China

It has been five months since the 2008 Beijing Olympics. China considered the Games as a symbol of the rising of a great nation. Over five nights leading to the opening ceremony, News and multimedia website Current.com came up with a series of documentaries with five parts: Busting Out; The Good, the Bad and the Ugly; Out of Control; Fighting for Freedom; Let the Party Begin. These video series, anchored by Laura Ling, a Current journalist, summarize Current’s former news videos to explore China’s economic growth, how China prepared for the Games, social ills in China’s society – sex workers, freedom of religion and the press, and the transition of China’s culture, via Current.com:
