Controversy

Beijing has, (per July 23,) assigned three protest areas, for demonstrators to use: Chaoyang Park in the east, which is the same park where the beach volleyball tournament takes place, the Purple Bamboo Park in the west, which is south of the arena where the volleyball tournament takes place, and the World Park in southwest, 3 miles from the softball venue.^[1]
