Four-five rocks!

i agree that Asia is recognise as a power to be reckoned with in the world. The reasons is as below.

First, China is chosen to be the host for the 2008 olympics .This proves that China has proven itself to be strong enough to hold such a event. We cannot and must not underestimate China's power, after all, it took China only half the time to accomplish what Singapore did. This is enough to make Asia or rather China to be recognise as a power to be reckoned with.

Further more, China's ability to improve Beijing withini such a short time is remarkable. It is financial ability allow China to tighten security at the forbidden city. The most important thing is that the people of Beijing is working together to make sure that the event is successful. A good example will be the retrictions set on the cars. If people do not believe in the olympics, they wouldn't have cooperated, irregardless of the fine.

Together with the people's mind, China will be able to soar even higher and will beocme even better than Singapore in terms of economic, which will in turn boast Aisa, giving Asia a power that have to be reckoned with.
