click to playFound this clip in the new Blue Dot video rollup. Nice! I'd never heard of the show "Sexy Beijing" but it's apparently a transplanted American talking about her experiences in Beijing.

Really interesting article looking at why China isn't getting the respect it hoped for out of the Olympics (one reason: self-defeating visa policies that prevented more foreign visitors from attending the games).
