BERLIN, Aug 24, 2008 (AFP) - Germany said Sunday that the Olympics have helped to open up Chinese society despite reported human rights abuses linked to the Games.
"I think if we make a preliminary assessment then one can say that the Games contributed to further modernisation of China," deputy foreign ministry spokesman Andreas Peschke said.
"All of the preparations led to significant progress in the country. I think it can also be said that the Games contributed to a further opening up of China."
Peschke noted the global debate after China won the right to stage this month's Games over the human rights situation in the country and what impact the Olympics could have on Beijing.
"If you think of China 20 years ago, nothing of the sort would have been possible. Thousands of journalists were in China, reported about China," he said at a news conference.
"I think it can be said that the Olympic Games made a positive contribution to the future of China."
China promised to improve human rights when it was awarded the Games in 2001 and said it would grant broad freedoms for foreign media to cover the event unhindered.
But independent rights group Human Rights Watch last week accused China of human rights violations linked to the Beijing Games.
It cited a list of "documented" abuses included "media censorship, the abuse of migrant construction workers who built the Olympic venues, and the unlawful forced evictions of hundreds of thousands of Chinese citizens from their homes to make way for these venues."
The authorities have also come under fire from media groups for blocking access to sensitive websites.
Meanwhile the United States is urging China to release immediately eight American nationals detained after pro-Tibet protests in Beijing during the Olympic Games.

周日德国方面表示尽管出现了针对奥运的人权责难,奥运已经帮助中国社会变得开放。
德国外交部发言人Andreas Peschke说:“初步估计奥运对中国的进一步现代化有益”。
“所有的准备工作给这个国家带来了重大进展,我认为也可以说奥运有助于中国社会的进一步开放”。
Peschke也提到中国获得北京奥运会举办权在世界范围内引起的争议,中国的人权状况倍受指责被认为对北京举办奥运有影响。
他在一个新闻发布会上说:“要知道在20年前,几千个记者到中国报道中国是不可能出现的事情”。
“可以说奥运会对中国的未来起到了积极的作用”。
在2001年获得奥运举办权时中国承诺改善人权状况并保证报道奥运的国外媒体得到不受限制的自由。
但是独立人权组织“人权观察”上周指责北京奥运违背了人权。
它引用“记录在案”的一份清单,包括“媒体管制,驱逐奥运场馆的建筑工人,以及为了修建奥运场馆非法武力动
迁了几十万居民”。
中方曾因为封锁敏感网站而受到媒体组织的抨击。
同时美国正敦促中国立即释放奥运期间在北京举行藏独游行而被拘留的八名美国公民。
