China: interpretation of Beijing 2008 · Global Voices
Oiwan Lam

“Beijing-2008″ is a huge painting by Liu Yi (刘溢), exhibited in New York in March.  Inside the picture, there are 5 women playing ma-joh (2008 Beijing Olympic game). One of the political interpretations by jxhill is that the 5 women are U.S (middle),  Taiwan (left near the wall), japan (backward towards the audience), Russia (upside down on right) and China (standing, outside the game) (zh).
