do they not realize that whining and being unable to do something about it makes them look weak, not righteous?
2022 Olympic Winter Games Beijing
- Thread starter Strangelove
- Start date
Really fascinating video of the popularity of the different sports personality in terms of clicks and coverage during the last month including the Olympics period. Some surprising ones there like fan zhiyi but of course that's turned out to be cuz of the Chinese soccer debacle against Vietnam. Zhu Yi and the female skater that was replaced also appeared quite high. Some conspiracy theories there.
I think it's turns out much better than expected. Given of course there is a freaking pandemic this time lol. And the time zones so people in North America had to wake up at really inconvenient times to watch it.
Just a note on that
If you notice the company that owns the Montreal Gazette is Postmedia, which was once owned by the ultra right wing Asper family who was a diehard supporter of Ariel Sharon.
To be honest, all of the Canadian media is like the Australian media, no independent voices on China, China is a country of unrepentant super-hacker nazi uighur killers.
Imagine this on a live stream...
"Hey everyone, just got my acceptance letter from Tsinghua U... wait, why does this return address say Hsinchu, Taiwan ROC... hmmm National Tsing Hua? Oh no..." *checks google* "OH NO!"
OR 1470 applicants who are on Stanford’s waitlist.
Watermelon thieves are at it again. This time they've snuck out a Bing Dwen Dwen display and several flat screen television sets. Luckily for the Olympics organizers, there are as many surveillance cameras dispersed around the Olympic village as there were around the Olympic Skating rink.
I finally realized why this video clicked with me so much. It is organized in the exact same manner as those corny Chinese New Year galas for Chinese International Students I went to as a kid. It is nostalgia at work.
It will be profitable. Ticket revenue is only 5% of actual overall Olympic revenue for host city. The majority of revenue come from licensing fees to TV and broadcasting worldwide + sponsorships. Considering the relatively high viewership, and relatively low costs of hosting, it should be decently profitable.
Koreans sneaking Chinese flat screen TVs back to Korea? That's a win in the book if you ask me.
