Beijingoism

Beijingoism 北京热 北京熱

= the excitement accompanying the organization of the 2008 Olympic Games in Beijing, China, and the host of activities surrounding this event

The word was spotted in The Economist, The World in 2008, p. 71: “The challenge to Beijingoism”

Any better ideas for the translation? 北京热 came to mind, as in

汉语热 漢語熱 Chinese fever
