China Praises Its Progress Toward Olympics.
With
one year to go
before the
2008 Olympics
, China still has many challenges ahead, like dealing with Beijing's terrible
air pollution
. There is still much criticism over China's record on
human rights
and
freedom of the press
, and some
protests
. But perhaps the most embarrassing public relations setback is that one of the official
mascots
,
Yingsel
(aka
Yingying
) the
Tibetan
Antelope
, has
defected from China's Olympic team
and gone underground to
campaign
for a
free Tibet
.
