Uhulumeni waseChina ubhekene nemikhawulo yokulawula kwawo, njengokuhlasela okubulalayo komuntu waseMelika eduze nesikhungo esinomlando wenhloko-dolobha kanye nodlame enyakatho-ntshonalanga nodlame olubulale abantu abangu-11 lwangcolisa izinsuku zokuvulwa kweMidlalo yama-Olympic.
Iqembu elibusayo laseChina lamaKhomanisi lizamile ukuqinisekisa ukuthi ama-Olympics azoqhubeka ngaphandle kokuphazamiseka. Ukugunyazwa kwama-Visa kubantu bakwamanye amazwe kwehlisiwe ngaphambi kweMidlalo, futhi uhulumeni wafaka amasosha angaphezu kuka-100,000, amaphoyisa namavolontiya ukuze avikele inhloko-dolobha.
Izikhulu zicele abaphathi abaphezulu ezinkampanini ezithile zaseChina nabaxhasi bama-Olimpiki bakwamanye amazwe ukuthi basayine imibhalo ethembisa ukuthi bazoziphendulela mathupha nganoma yikuphi okungahambi kahle okwenzeka phakathi kwabo ngesikhathi seMidlalo, ngokusho kwabantu abajwayelene nesimo.
Kuhulumeni waseShayina, ama-Olympics ayithuba lokubonisa umhlaba ukukhula kwamandla e-China kwezomnotho, ezobuchwepheshe kanye nezokusubatha. Uhulumeni uthemba ukuthi le Midlalo izoba impumelelo enkulu ekubuseni kweQembu LamaKhomanisi emehlweni ezithameli zasekhaya - ukubonakaliswa kwempumelelo yeqembu ekuguquleni iChina ibe amandla omhlaba. Mhlawumbe ukukhombisa leyo ajenda, ukuhlaselwa kwangoMgqibelo kwezakhamizi zaseMelika akuzange kunganakwa emithonjeni yezindaba elawulwa nguhulumeni waseChina.
Lokhu kuhlasela, lapho umkhwekazi womqeqeshi we-volleyball wase-US egwazwe washona kwathi umkakhe kanye nomqondisi balimala kanzima, kwenzeke ngemva kwamahora angu-12 kuphothulwe Imikhosi Yokuvula, ebhekwa yizigidigidi emhlabeni jikelele.
Lokhu kugwazwa kwabulala u-Todd Bachman, usomabhizinisi waseLakeville, eMnn., kanye nomkhwe womqeqeshi we-volleyball yabesilisa yasendlini u-Hugh McCutcheon. UMnu. Bachman wayeyisikhulu esiphezulu sochungechunge lomndeni lwezikhungo zezimbali nezengadi eMinneapolis-St. Le yindawo ka Paul.
UmkaMnu. Bachman, uBarbara, uthole “izingozi ezimbi kakhulu nezibeka ukuphila kwakhe engozini,” kusho isitatimende seKomiti Yemidlalo Yama-Olympic yase-United States. AbakwaBachmans babenendodakazi yabo, u-Elisabeth Bachman McCutcheon, ngesikhathi behlaselwa, kodwa akazange alimale, kusho i-USOC. Ukulimala komhlahlandlela akuzange kuthathwe njengokubeka impilo yakhe engcupheni, kusho isikhulu saseChina.
Umgilwa, owesilisa waseChina ongasebenzi, uzibulele ngemuva kwalezi zigameko zokugwazwa, kanti inhloso yakhe ibingakacaci. Iziphathimandla zimchaze njengomuntu othukuthelele umphakathi, kanti ababengomakhelwane basho ezingxoxweni ukuthi ubonakale ephelelwa yithemba eminyakeni edlule selokhu adilizwa umsebenzi wasefemini.
Noma kunjalo, imicimbi yangempelasonto iphakamisa ukuthi kungase kube nzima kunalokho obekulindelwe uhulumeni ukuphatha imibono Yemidlalo. NgeSonto, bangu-10 abasolwa ngokuba ngamaphekula abulawe ngesikhathi belwa namaphoyisa aseChina ngemuva kokuthi uchungechunge lweziqhumane ezenziwe ekhaya zibulale indoda eyodwa kwalimala abahlanu enyakatho-ntshonalanga yeChina egcwele amaSulumane, kusho abezindaba zombuso.
Khonamanjalo, ukungqubuzana kwezempi phakathi kweRussia neGeorgia, okuqale ngaphambi nje kweMikhosi Yokuvula futhi kwadlondlobala kuyo yonke impelasonto, kugubuzele izindikimba zama-Olympic zokuthula nokuthanda amazwe ngamazwe. UNdunankulu waseRussia uVladimir Putin, obehambele Imikhosi Yokuvula ngoLwesihlanu eBeijing, ushiye le Midlalo ngaphambi kokuhlelwa kwangoMgqibelo ukuze aye endaweni yezingxabano.
Abezindaba baseShayina ngeSonto bagxile kakhulu ezindondoni ezimbili zokuqala zegolide zaseChina - izinyathelo zokuqala emzamweni wezwe wokudlula i-US ekubaleni izindondo zalo nyaka - futhi kabanzi ekuphumeleleni kweMidlalo. Ukugwazwa kwabantu akuzange kukhulunywe esigamekweni sezindaba ze-China Central Television ngo-7 ebusuku, esibonwa iningi labantu bakuleli.
“Ngaphambi kwalokhu, iChina yayike yabhekana nazo zonke izinhlobo zezinkulumo ezingafanele ngokusingatha kwayo ama-Olympics,” kusho indaba esekhasini lokuqala le-Global Times, enyatheliswa iphephandaba leqembu elihamba phambili, i-People's Daily. "Imicimbi Yokuvula kanye nokuziphatha kwakamuva kwabantu baseChina kukhombise umhlaba ukuzethemba nokuvuthwa kwaleli zwe okungakaze kubonwe ngaphambili."
Izikhulu zaseShayina zithathe izinhlungu zokukhombisa umhlaba wonke ngeBeijing enomoya wokungenisa izihambi, enabantu abaningi, eqeqesha izinkulungwane zabasebenzi bama-Olympics ngesiNgisi kanye nezakhamizi zasedolobheni ezifunda ezikoleni ukuthi zingenza kanjani umugqa ngendlela efanele. Bebhekene nesigameko esabisa ngokungcolisa leso sithombe esihle, izikhulu zathi zizoqinisa ezokuphepha ezindaweni ezivakashelwa enhlokodolobha ukuze ziphendule kulokhu kuhlasela.
"IBeijing iphephile, yize ingavikelekile ezenzweni zodlame," kusho uWang Wei, iphini likamongameli omkhulu wekomidi elihlela ama-Olimpiki eBeijing. “Simangele sonke impela.”
Lokhu kugwazwa kwenzeke ngabo-12:20 ebusuku eDrum Tower, okuyingqophamlando yasendulo enyakatho maphakathi neBeijing. Iziphathimandla zaseChina zikhombe umhlaseli njengoTang Yongming, 47, ohlala eHangzhou, cishe amahora amathathu eningizimu-ntshonalanga yeShanghai. Bathi ugxume washona ephuma kuvulandi ongamamitha angu-40 ukuphakama eDrum Tower ngemuva kokuhlasela.
Amaphoyisa ngeSonto ebusuku athe enze isiphetho sokuqala ngemva “kophenyo olunzulu” lokuthi izenzo zikaMnu.
UMnu. Tang waphila kwaze kwaba cishe eminyakeni emibili edlule efulethini elinguNombolo 201 esakhiweni esibi esasihlala abasebenzi bemboni yezinsimbi zase-Hangzhou. Ezingxoxweni, omakhelwane abambalwa bangaphambili bachaze uMnu. Tang njengendoda eyake yaba nobungane eyawela ekuphelelweni yithemba cishe eminyakeni emithathu edlule ngemva kokulahlekelwa iholo layo elilinganiselwa ku-$100 ngenyanga njengomsebenzi womshini futhi yahlukana nomkakhe. Bathe uphoxeke kakhulu ngendodana yakhe eneminyaka engu-21 ubudala, amaphoyisa athi isinezinkinga kaningi zomthetho.
“Besinobudlelwano obuhle. Uma ngipheka wayema lapha, abheme axoxe,” kusho uHu Jinmao, ongumakhelwane iminyaka eminingi. UMnu. Hu uthe uMnu. Tang wayebonakala edangele ngesikhathi ezithela kumakhelwane wakhe wangaphambili emakethe yendawo. “Kubonakala sengathi ubuntu bakhe bushintshe ngama-degree angu-180,” kusho uMnu.
I-Xinhua yaseChina, icaphuna amaphoyisa, ithe uMnu. Tang unqamule isivumelwano sakhe sokuqashisa nomqashi wakhe njengamanje ntambama ngo-Aug. 1 wabe eseshayela indodana yakhe eyitshela ukuthi usephumile ukuyokwenza ibhizinisi. Watshela indodana yakhe ukuthi uma kungahamba kahle izofika ekhaya, futhi uma ingabuyi indodana yakhe akufanele imfune.
Ubugebengu obunzima obubhekiswe kwabokufika buhlala bungavamile futhi iBeijing namanye amadolobha amakhulu lapha abhekwa njengephephile kunamadolobha amakhulu kwamanye amazwe asathuthuka.
UMengameli waseChina u-Hu Jintao udlulise amazwi enduduzo ngokuhlaselwa kukaMengameli uGeorge W. Bush, naye ohambele le midlalo, emhlanganweni wangeSonto.
Izikhulu zaseShayina nezaseMelika zigcizelele ukuthi zikholelwa ukuthi kwakuyisigameko esizimele. "Lesi bekuyisenzo sodlame esingahleliwe," kusho okhulumela i-White House uDana Perino. UDarryl Seibel, okhulumela i-USOC, uphawule ukuthi izisulu bezingagqokile lutho “olungabakhomba njengabaseMelika.” Uthe akasakhumbuli isigameko esifana nalesi kuma-Olympics edlule.
Khonamanjalo, ukuhlasela kwaseXinjiang, okwenzeke ngezithuba zabo-2:30 ekuseni ngeSonto, kubulale indoda eyodwa kwalimala abanye abambalwa ngaphambi kokuthi abahlaseli badutshulwe ngamaphoyisa noma bazibulale, ngokusho kweXinhua. Lesi sigameko silandela isigameko sokuhlasela okubi nakakhulu ngoMsombuluko odlule, lapho iziphathimandla zathi amaphoyisa angu-16 abeqapha umngcele abulawa abahlaseli ababili.
Amasosha ezokuphepha aseShayina amashumi eminyaka alwa nemikhankaso enodlame ngezikhathi ezithile yamaqembu e-Uighur (ebizwa: WEE-ger) efuna inkululeko eChina. Udlame lwase-Xinjiang lugcizelela ukulinganiselwa kwendlela yaseBeijing yokubhekana nezinhlanga ezincane zezwe: ukusebenzisa intuthuko yezomnotho emzamweni wokuzuza izinhliziyo nezingqondo ngenkathi iqeda ukungezwani kwezombusazwe kanye nontamolukhuni.
Ukuqhuma kwangeSonto kunyakazise idolobha i-Kuqa, okuyisizinda esibalulekile samaphrojekthi okuhlola uwoyela negesi, endaweni ehlala abantu abaningi abangama-Uighur abakhuluma isiTurkic abangamaSulumane. I-Xinhua ibike ukuthi abahlaseli basebenzise iziqhumane ukuhlasela izindawo zezitolo, amahhotela kanye namahhovisi kahulumeni. Amaphoyisa athi ababili okusolwa ukuthi ngamabhomu bazibulele ngesikhathi bebanjwa, kusho iXinhua.
