Summer Olympics in China... WHY?!?

As the olympics draw close and I listen to the news I wonder why the IOC chose to have the olympics in China of all places. They are accused of human rites abuses, are killing monks as I type this, have horrible polluted air and to top it all off reporters won't even be able to use the internet because China has it closed down. Also athletes are subject to having their rooms searched at any time....ugh. WHY?
