More Fakery From the Chinese

This is really pathetic. Though what do you expect from Communists but fraud and deceit?

China stopped a seven-year-old girl from singing at the Olympics opening ceremony because she was not pretty enough, it has emerged.

Organisers agreed Yang Peiyi had the perfect voice to sing the national anthem at the spectacular £20million extravaganza that started the Games last Friday.

But in yet another example of fakery, she was banned from appearing in person because her teeth were deemed too crooked and another girl was asked to lip-synch.

Lin Miaoke, nine, was picked for her angelic looks and charmed the world as she 'sang' Paean to the Motherland in a red dress and pigtails.

Her appearance in the ceremony has made her the hottest child star in China and her picture was even printed on the front page of the New York Times.

But the true story behind her performance has now been revealed by the general music designer of the ceremony, Chen Qigang.

It lays bare China's desperation to present a 'perfect' image to the world and deliver the best ever Olympics as it is under the spotlight like never before.

The country has already been exposed for 'faking' part of the ceremony by using pre-recorded footage of firework footprints racing across the Beijing skyline.

And today it emerged they were also bussing in volunteers to fill up empty seats at the events to make it appear every stadium was full to bursting.

Of the decision to deny Yang Peiyi her chance to perform in front of billions, Mr Qigang said: 'The first condition was that the director wants the image to be very cute.'

I wonder if the Chinese citizens realize we kicked their ass in basketball the other day? For all we know they were shown a staged game showing the Chinese dunking all over Team USA.
