You can try and imagine what it was like for locals: normal Olympic police presence x authoritarian state police apparatus x state's desire to "prove" it has arrived...

It gets even worse Shad, Bejing had "select us" billboards and slogans posted prominently from 2000 on. When they didn't get the 2004 games, they just increased the hoopla.

Great city to vacation in by the way. Chairman Mao lies in state for public viewing 5 minutes walk from a 3 story KFC with the best dipping sauces on earth!
