Seems others were not too happy about Mayor Boris Johnson and the London performance in Beijing.
As Britain’s magnificent Olympians returned home on Monday, they left behind a fierce debate in China over London’s eight-minute contribution to Beijing’s glittering ceremony - and in particular, the performance of Mayor Boris Johnson.
While some Chinese media and bloggers praised the creativity of London’s segment, others were damning with Johnson described as ‘arrogant, rude and disrespectful’ when accepting the Olympic flag.
There were mixed opinions too about the cameo performance featuring a London bus, David Beckham, singer Leona Lewis, rock guitarist Jimmy Page, dancers and singers which was very different from the rest of the spectacular show staged by the hosts.
This quote from the Daily Mail in the UK is part of a long article detailing a long list of angry Chinese complaints about the conduct of the new London Mayor. One of the big words used often was “disrespect”.
It seems I wasn’t the only one offended by his conduct and put off by the show.
