China continues to export their style of governance and control through the Olympic Torch relay route. This time the story comes from Chinese suzerainty India:

Anxious to ensure that the Olympic torch relay passes peacefully though India on April 17, the Chinese government has sent a team of investigators to keep an eye on Tibetans in New Delhi, particularly those who could turn out to be potential trouble makers.

The team, according the highly-placed sources, has been trying to familiarise themselves with the route that the Olympic torch would take, on motorcycles. 

If I were an Indian citizen, I would be outraged that my government is allowing another country’s security forces in to do the work of policing an Indian city. This just goes to show the great lengths China is willing to go in their war against bad national image (remember, war is their word, not mine) in connection to the Olympics. Once again, it could not be more clear that the Beijing Games are a political event and not mere sport.
