Beijing 2008: A Communist Party "Rebranding"?

Beijing building the Olympic dream
The Beijing Olympics may be almost two years away for you, but this city lives and breathes it.

Ever since it won the bid, the Chinese capital has been straining every sinew to make the 2008 Olympics the best ever.


The stadiums rising over the Beijing skyline are cutting-edge, a firm statement about China's growing confidence on the world stage.


And it is not just Olympic architecture - subways, roads, railways and a huge new airport from one of the world's top architects are also being built.

Beijing is using the Olympics to transform itself into a fitting capital for a 21st century superpower.
