Perhaps you aren't actually bound for Beijing but will instead be experiencing the All-America all the time coverage on NBC. Still, in the midst of all the hoopla surrounding the athletics, stories about day-to-day life in China are bound to be featured prominently.
One of the biggest hits at the Campus Store this past year has been the little book by Larry and Qin Herzberg, China Survival Guide. Though it is aimed at those traveling to the Middle Kingdom, it could be read profitably by anyone interested in understanding more about China.
Even better, the Herzbergs have teamed with the good folks at the Calvin Media Foundation to produce a 1 hour documentary, China Today: Issues that Trouble Americans at the Beginning of the 21st Century, that tackles many of the questions that olympic enthusiasts and thoughtful christians have. From the trials and tribulations of Christians under Communist rule to democratic liberalization to the implications of a one-child policy, China Today is perfect for small groups, schools, or even casual viewers looking to refine their understanding of the world's most populous country.
