Seems like just another way to clean the house before the guests arrive. This time, it's kind of like kicking out the roommate for the night. The article states, "...An unwritten government policy encouraging migrant workers to clear out until the dignitaries and journalists have gone home."
Now it's a tricky situation, a frequent phrase I use in most of my posts, because residents who work to make a living are being kicked out. However it is for the purpose to stop construction and help make a sustainable environment for the Olympics. But what is even worse, people are being "waved away" by hospitals for the same reason! Ms. Ma stated in the article “The whole country is very distracted by the Olympics.” She smiled as if to say she understood." I found this actually quite sad. I would even say immature! Bringing back to school days where the best friend neglects the other when a guy is around. When he leaves, things will be back to normal, but not dependable. China isn't being dependable.
