Although the Olympic games finished in August, there is continued discussion about Beijing. They built these massive structures and have so far, decided not to tear them down. The problem is, China spent a RIDICULOUS amount of money to build all these magnificent structures, but with the state of the world economy, it's hard to keep up with the cost of these structures. Beijing in continually trying to host different world events to help pay for the cost of these structures. While I agree that the 2008 Olympic games buildings were amazing, were they worth the debt it cost to build them?
