Alleviating Smog Before Beijing Olympics


(02 Aug 08 - RV) The International Olympic Committee (IOC) today faced mounting questions over Internet censorship, days before the Beijing Games, despite earlier pledges that its use would be unfettered.

While China has allowed access to some websites that were blocked earlier in the week, many sites still remain inaccessible to reporters covering the Beijing Olympics that start on August 8.
Meanwhile, environmental restrictions are in place in and around Beijing in an attempt to alleviate severe air pollution.
