US President George W.
Bush is among a host of world leaders who
are gathering in Beijing ahead of the start of the Olympic Games.
More than 80 heads of state and government, and royals are expected
to attend the opening ceremony of the Beijing Games on Friday. Bush
arrived on Thursday night amid tensions over his high-profile
declaration in Thailand that it's time for the growing world power
to grant more freedom to its people. Prior to Bush's arrival, the
Chinese foreign ministry released a statement saying no one should
interfere with China's internal affairs.
