I’ve been having a little trouble getting online videos to play in the middle kingdom… I’ve been searching YouTube for a filmclip of today’s torch ceremony in front of the Forbidden City, but something in my keywords (I was using “Beijing” “Torch” and “Olympics”, not the T-word) keeps sending me a 404.

I’m honestly not looking for anything sketchy or negative or bad for China, I just want a pretty video of happy people and the Olympic torch to share on my Olympics blog. (Er, I mean Patrick’s blog, I think it’s my blog now!) I’m actually looking for a cheery official video, and it’s been censored.

This type of thing makes me worry about what’ll happen at the opening ceremonies of the Olympics. Will we just be told “everything went well” with no idea if that’s true or not? China, I have high hopes for you. Don’t let me down!

Anyway, here’s a belated clip of the Olympic torch being handed over to China.
