A grand show by college students in Beijing debuted Monday night
to promote the Olympic Games to be held next August in this
capital city.

Standing Committee of the Communist Party of China (CPC) Central
Committee Political Bureau, talks with students after watching the
show by college students to promote the 2008 Beijing Olympic Games,

The songs, dances, recitations and martial art performances
