China is far from 'developing' nation. Friends have been there and the major cities are huge with infrastructure that puts Toronto to shame.
@Breeze
Giving the Olympics to developing nations is a BIG mistake...downward spiral into debt.
Sal,
While you are correct, nations are not children and the IOC is not their parent. If a country wants to host the Olympics, the IOC is not in a position to judge if they should have them or not.
Judging if countries should host the Olympic games is exactly what the IOC does.
@EC, the IOC decides on if you CAN host the Olympics, not if you SHOULD. They don't care if you're going to bankrupt your country doing it, as long as you pull off the games themselves.
