Olympic Etiquette

Clean the Sky - Positive Eco Trends & Breakthroughs

China's Rules for Beijing Games

— August 1, 2008 — World
Exactly a week before the Beijing Olympics, China has officially outlined the expectations for visitor behavior.

The list ranges from general etiquette such as keeping your clothes on in public (so much for streaking through the Birds Nest stadium) to more discriminatory regulations such as banning people with sexually transmitted diseases and mental illnesses.

Other things people aren't allowed to do in public:

- Sleeping

- Getting drunk

- Setting off fireworks

- Show offensive words in public (signs, clothes)

Other regulations include things like making subway riders prove that their water is safe by drinking from their bottles when approached by authorities.

Beijing has rules for its own people too, such as not serving foods like dog meat in restaurants.

The biggest bummer, however, is that there won't be easy to get your hands on cheap knock offs like DVDs and music.
Trend Themes
1. Visitor Behavior Regulations - Disruptive innovation opportunity: Develop technology-driven solutions to enforce visitor behavior regulations at large-scale events, such as using AI-powered cameras for real-time monitoring and automated alerts.
2. Public Etiquette Enforcement - Disruptive innovation opportunity: Create innovative products and services to encourage and enforce public etiquette, such as wearable devices that provide real-time reminders and feedback on behavior in public spaces.
3. Regulation Compliance Verification - Disruptive innovation opportunity: Develop novel methods to verify compliance with regulations, such as using blockchain technology to create transparent and tamper-proof records of visitor behavior.
Industry Implications
1. Event Technology - Disruptive innovation opportunity: Develop advanced event technology solutions to enhance security and crowd management at large-scale events, leveraging AI, facial recognition, and data analytics.
2. Wearable Technology - Disruptive innovation opportunity: Apply wearable technology to promote and enforce public etiquette, by creating smart devices that monitor and provide feedback on behaviors in real-time.
3. Blockchain - Disruptive innovation opportunity: Utilize blockchain technology to verify and ensure compliance with regulations, enabling transparent and secure record-keeping across industries and sectors.
