So that's all over. Now that the big China-defining event has gone by, I wonder how the country feels. All that investment, propaganda and enthusiasm was poured into less than a months worth of activities.

Accross the rest of the world, little has changed in the opinion of China. Examples that solidified already existing opinion and prejudice were not hard to find, from underage gymnasts to rioting minorities. I think that the government of China thought that the Olympics would do a lot more for their reputation than it did.
