When I read the title of the article, the first thing I thought was, "You can run, but you can't hide." Trying to hide something will do the opposite. It'll become more of an attraction than anything. Maybe it's a psychological thing; make them think otherwise. Sneaky. I digress. I almost find it quite ridiculous to cover something that is known to the rest of the world. But I won't push the matter because it's obviously a different perspective in the resident's eyes. Indeed it'll bring good media to Beijing but in a way it's sort of like pushing the dust under the rug. Though Westerners probably have a different conception of what 'clean' actually means. Places should be based how 'clean' it is internally just as well externally. The news does have it's way to always distort a specific image about things. It's understandable that China would want to protect their home from bullies.
Culture between the two needs to come to an understanding.
