Sarkozy not wanted at Olympics, survey says

Chinese people do not want French President Nicolas Sarkozy's to attend the opening ceremony of the Beijing Olympics, according to the results of a survey published yesterday.

The online poll conducted by Sina.com, was held in response to Sarkozy's threat to boycott the ceremony. He said on Monday that his attendance will depend on the progress of the latest talks between the Chinese government and the private representatives of the Dalai Lama.

Sarkozy said he will give his answer next week, during the G8 Summit in Japan.
