Beijing 2008: China’s Ten Commandments for a Civilized Olympics

With less than 8 months until the opening ceremony, Beijingers no longer need to worry about how to behave during the Olympic Games. Construction sites all over the city have been wrapped with a new advertising campaign aiming to educate the locals about the “Olympic 10 Dos and Don’ts”.

The campaign consists of 10 signs, each featuring an introductory call to “Welcome the Olympics, Study the legislation of the 10 dos and don’ts” (迎奥运 学法律 十要十不要) followed by instructive duos such as “Respect Olympic Intellectual Property / Don’t trade in counterfeit goods”, “Save the beauty of the city and its surroundings / Don’t spit anywhere”, and – naturally – “Promote the awareness of the Olympic regulations / Don’t break the law with disregard to the broader impact ”.

The campaign, published by the Local Judicial Authorities (区司法局), is the largest the city has seen since last year’s “Safari” campaign to welcome delegates of the Forum on China-Africa Cooperation (FOCAC).
