AP: Chinese man arrested in Canadian's death

The Associated Press published an article titled Chinese man arrested in Canadian's death on July 11, 2008.

A Canadian model was killed by a Chinese man during a robbery at her apartment in Shanghai.

The following sentence is quoted from the second paragraph of the AP article:

The killing of a foreigner so close to next month's Beijing Olympic Games was an embarrassment for Shanghai police, who at first only released a two-sentence statement after the discovery of her body on Monday.

As one of the top four news agency, Associated Press should be more careful before they publish any article. Robbery and killing happens every day all around the world. Why is this case so special?

Within a month, the Olympic Games will be held in Beijing. China no doubt in the center of world's attention. More policemen were working now to ensure the safety of the citizens; more volunteers were being trained to make sure the Olympics would run properly. Yet according to Associate Press, all these effort ended in vain because of one Chinese committed a murder.

Of course, there is some news value in this case, yet it's easy to see that what they really want to say is not about the murder.

Please, don't make a big fuss about everything happened in China.
