As Britain’s magnificent Olympians returned home on Monday, they left behind a fierce debate in China over London’s eight-minute contribution to Beijing’s glittering ceremony – and in particular, the performance of Mayor Boris Johnson.
While some Chinese media and bloggers praised the creativity of London’s segment, others were damning with Johnson described as ‘arrogant, rude and disrespectful’ when accepting the Olympic flag.
There were mixed opinions too about the cameo performance featuring a London bus, David Beckham, singer Leona Lewis, rock guitarist Jimmy Page, dancers and singers which was very different from the rest of the spectacular show staged by the hosts.

Boris has not done much for democracy in china.
He’s paid to do things for democracy in Britain, not China.
