Answers:
Peter Breiner did the arrangements for about 200 national anthems for the 2004 olympics and it appears that the Chinese have obtained copies of the music or had someone make similar arrangements without permission, credit or compensation!. You can read about the whole thing here:

Watching (too much of) the Beijing Olympics, I heard two versions of the National Anthem!. The predominant one had the "lovely strings" resolving suspensions during the "and the rockets' red glare" section!. The more traditional version was played at the awards ceremony when Shawn Johnson won her Gold medal!.
I have no idea of who arranged either version!. Www@Enter-QA@Com

It's in the news that a Peter Breiner!? claims his arrangements from the 2004 Olympics were used without his permission or accreditation!. Beijing isn't saying yea or nay!. Seems like people raved over several of his arrangements from 2004!.Www@Enter-QA@Com
Google the "Official Olympic Committee"'s website; this committee makes all decisions regarding anything to do with the Olympics!. May provide links!.
