China Olympics and Wal-Mart

Below are TWO video clips on my weekly adventure to a Chinese Walmart Supercenter. Because of the Olympics, there was security protecting the premises outside of Walmart along with its competitor Carre Four ( a large French grocery store chain). Why? Because there are a lot of protesters in the USA and France trying to push their government to boycott the Chinese Olympic opening ceremonies. The protesters are also trying to stop the Olympic torch by trying to tackle the athlete carrying the torch. All because these protesters are making a point of China's poor record on human rights violations. This has sparked the Chinese National population, who are very proud of their country, to also protest and boycott American and French owned companies. There have been reported incidents but no injuries.
