What? another Official Website for the 2008 Beijing Olympics?

Wow... This kinda ridiculous. It's another Official website of the Beijing 2008 Olympics. This time by the Xinhua agency the state-run news agency of China. What's this website then, http://en.beijing2008.cn/ ? It also claims to be the Official website for the 2008 Olympics too & quite frankly it does look better than Xinhua's version. The latter is more visually pleasing if one asks me. The 2 have noticeable similarities too but I think Xinhua's Official website has more updated content & more user-friendly but http://en.beijing2008.cn/ has a pagerank of 7.0 giving it a better chance of being found on top of the search engine index compared to Xinhua's Official website's Pagerank of 0. If Xinhua's version is truly the Official they may request to ban or exclude the other from the search engines' SERP's.

You be the judge:

Xinhua's version

The other Official website
