Abstract

The article focuses on negative public reaction which is being seen in China to the Chinese government's plans to raise pigs exclusively for the athletes of the 2008 Olympics. Computer bloggers across the country are protesting the raising of the pigs, which will be fed an organic diet and receive daily exercise, because they feel that they are an example of government excess, and that the government should be focusing instead on government corruption, workplace safety and food safety.
