At Menglianggu Tourist Attraction, there are ripply running water, enwinding green bains, flickering emerald green bamboos, here beautiful sceneries and evergreen within the four seasons.
And alarmist politicians and doomster academics may, in pointing to the state of decay, miss a nation's continuing strengths and attractions, which have to be weighed against its problems and worries.
They're so lacking in confidence in the attraction of the games they televise that they feel they have to hype up with some hysterical commentator in order to get anyone to watch them.
