Gordon Brown's Olympic visit


Let's start on 18 January in Beijing. Gordon Brown is in China for an official visit.
He is invited to a question and answer session at the Renmin University of China.
The Chinese Premier Wen Jiabao is with him.

A student asks Mr Brown whether or not he will come to the Olympics.
The prime minister says he will "definitely come to the Olympics, if invited."
Wen Jiabao immediately extends the invitation: "On behalf of the Chinese Government, I would like to extend the invitation again to Prime Minister Brown and Mrs Brown to China for the Olympic Games."

So there we go - Gordon Brown is going to the Olympics.
The question then becomes this: Which bit of the Olympics is he going to?




Later in the article it was confirmed that no part of the games would be boycotted by the British.
