In the years following the ascension of Chairman Mao, China invaded and absorbed many of its neighboring countries (like Tibet and Uyghur). Many of the people of these countries view the Beijing Olympics as their chance to finally get their message heard on a world stage. As China very tightly controls its press and the international press is only allowed to see certain things, a massive, violent demonstration or act of terrorism are going to be the only ways for these groups to get international attention.

There are literally dozens of such oppressed groups in China. I expect the official news reports during the Olympics to mention several "accidents" that are really cover-ups for terrorist acts. I also think that at least one of these groups will succeed in getting their message out of China...
