I would say the biggest rhetorical path used in the commercial was ethos. The creator wanted to show big name Chinese celebrities like Yao Ming and Jackie Chan to persuade the audience for the purchase of a Visa credit card. Because Yao and Jackie are famous, this appeal made people want to be a spectator at the 2008 Beijing Olympics. I can see why people become very attracted to this world-wide, once in every four year event. There was also some amount of logos, or emotional appeal.
