Special Report:   2008 Beijing Olympics

It's been six years since Beijing won the bid to host the 2008 Olympic Games. And now, with a little more than a year to go, the capital and other co-host cities are speeding up preparations for a successful - and safe - Olympics. Wang Mangmang offers this first-hand look at security measures in Qingdao and other cities in China.

On this restricted body of water, where the sailing competition will take place, danger has been detected. Terrorists are trying to get in using a hijacked oil ship.

They show no sign of giving up even after being surrounded. The coast guards have to use their own vessel to drive out the terrorists.

The battle begins. The terrorists set off a bomb. Onboard the ship, the confrontation is just as fierce.

In the end, though, good triumphs over evil.

But this was merely an exercise. It was held in the eastern coastal city of Qingdao, the host of next year's Olympic sailing competition. The drill considered every possible threat, putting the coast guards on the highest alert.
