Lots have been said about this two girls… The media have to sell stories. How sure are we, what we read is the truth? How sure are we that what we read is not a story made up by the media? Is the media faking the “Fake Olympics”?
Dr Hsu Blog, and Dr Pilokarpen Blog, wrote about this story…

I see no problem with putting MiaoKe on stage. The problem is the international media, playing up the issue, and probably causing more harm to the 2 little girls than good. Is this another plot to run down the image of Beijing’s Game? Well said by the person who commented, “Today, we are witnessing two innocent girls being exposed to civilization and political games.” Yes, the media did stir this up, the media did politicized it. Only those people would know if it was for political gain or to show superiority of civilization… They definitely do not have the interest of the girls in their heart.
How sure are we, that the reason PeiYi not on stage is because she is not “cute” enough? Could it be that she was not as lively, as good a visual performer? “cute” was the word use by the media, the perception of the media, the reason given by the media.
Please don’t take credit off MiaoKe, lip synched or not, it was a good stage performance. How many of us could handle the pressure so naturally standing in front of such a big audience?
Let me quote from the ancient text of Kalama Sutta,
Observed and analyzed! Be critical! Is the media FAKING IT?
