(Aug, 17th) Due to the outstanding performance on Beijing Olmypics, Micheal Phelps claimed independence. Thus, the number of the glod medals of American decreased to 11, Phelps, with 8 gold medals, is listed No. 6, only after PRC, USA, UK. Germany and Australia. On the same day, the US congress passed "Law of Anti-Independence of Phelps". Meanwhile, China's NPC passed "Phelps Relations Act". Whitehouse spokesperson strongly condemns and said that this is a gross interference in the internal affairs of the United States. U.S. President George W. Bush, when meeting China's Chairman HU, emphasised that there is one American in the world，and Phelps, Alaska, Hawaii and the continental United States all belongs to one United States of American. Bush also stated that Fedral Government is the only legal government representing the United States. Bush hoped that China can abide by "the Three Sino-US Joint Communiques" and will not send wrong signals to Phelps. Chinese leaders said that China insist on one-American policy and "Phelps Relations Act", and does not support either side to unilaterally change the status quo.

Now time flies to the 2016 Chicago Olympics.
U.S and Phelps hold different opinions on the name Phelps would use to enter the game. The U.S. hope Phelps to enter in the name of "Phelps U.S." and claimed this an international common practice. While Phelps thought this would greatly dwarf himself, and hence, insist on entering the game in the name of "American Phelps". U.S. helplessly compromised.
Phelps is in another dispute about the admission order. He is unwilling to enter after **Island of United States as it would again dwarf himself. Therefore, the United States considered from an overall situation, and inserted P.R.C. inbetween. Phelps finally entered, he is holding his flag, 14 little circles under the Olympic rings symbolizing he owned 14 Olympic gold medals. At the moment he entered, the audience bursted into long cheers: One world, One dream, Free Phelps!
