Yes there may be some short term post olympic slowdown but the influx of opportunity it brings to the city is a net positive gain.Danhttp://www.forexright.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4710215856934992447.post-16172657384486101092008-08-03T03:29:00.000-07:002008-08-03T03:29:00.000-07:00Thanks.

Would businesses or people find it hard to adapt to the sudden loss of business opportunities or job opportunities? For instance, lots of engineers are sought after for building stadiums, but after the Olympics, where are they going to find jobs in China since there is no more sudden need of these labour? And also, lets say i open a souvenir shop nearby the stadium, but after the games, my business slumps steeply, I might even go bankrupt. Will it turn into a crisis for China then?Edward Soohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14588288949192973788noreply@blogger.com
