Well, i am not sure if it is the first cricket stadium in China, but it is for sure that cricket is a new sport to most Chinese.

Maybe such sport will be promoted in China if Chinese team performs well this time.
 
Looks like Hu Jintao won't be able to attend the opening ceremony because of schedule conflicts with G20 and APEC summits. Wen Jiabao will be there tonight instead.

Some people in Guangzhou are very unhappy about this 'snub'. There are already calls for Lingnan or Nanyue independence (Guangdong, Guangxi, Hainan, Hong Kong and Macau) on some internet forums I frequent.

link? i doubt they're serious either, and i can't see why they'd care. seems like they're getting more americanized: care about the stupidest and tiniest details that do not matter to their personal lives.

16th Asian Games Guangzhou

"The security panel of the Guangzhou Asian Games has adopted effective and necessary measures to ensure a safe Games. We have done our best to provide a safe and favorable environment for athletes, coaches, officials and audiences," said a statement from the security panel, which is headed by Li Dongsheng, a senior official with the Ministry of Public Security.
"As the Guangzhou Asian Games will have the most ever athletes, officials and reporters in the history of the Asian Games, the security work is a great challenge," the statement said.

The security work for the opening ceremony is even more difficult as it will be held on an island in the Pearl River, and so the security work will have to cover land, air and sea, it said.

About 103,000 police officers will be engaged in security affairs at the Games, it said.

Guangdong province, where Guangzhou is located, has reached security cooperation agreements with six neighboring provinces and autonomous regions to beef up security, the statement said.

The security team also apologized for any inconvenience the security measures have caused to local residents and asked for their understanding and cooperation.
