China announced on Wednesday it would set up zones in three Beijing parks where demonstrators could legally stage protests during the August Games. They are Zizhuyuan Park in the city’s northwest, Ritan Park in the east and World Park in the southwest.

The choice of World Park is pretty funny. First, it’s in darkest Fengtai, far from the center of Beijing and off the path of the new Olympic mass transit. Second, World Park holds a collection of photo-op models of world landmarks. Any protestors who show up will be waving their flags and signs in front of a mini Eiffel Tower or Taj Mahal!
