You guys are discussing everything about the Olympics but the sports...

well i'm from china, and i know 1st hand 4th grade how my teacher beat up my classmate after he fail to do his homework. slap on the hand, stand outstand one leg holding books on two hand is easy punishment compare to that little girl on that picture.

And how is this article support your argument that Chinese abuses it is athletes? Do you want me to list a article to say that sexual abuse is widespread in US school? And use this article to support the argument that of sexual abuse of athletes is widespread in USA?

right live in china for over a decade. inlaws, grandparents, parents, wife all chinese, all the stuff ive seen in china, experienced and heard from my relative are 2nd hand. only you guys are right. all the negative ariticle about china is bias and wrong.
i already provide link check previous few post. now i never said widespread, but just saying these thing exist and more common than you guys suggest. you guys saying these are hard trainning, abuse don't exist. i say with that many gym in china, and with chinese culture emphsize on discipline/strict etc. these things happen much more than other western country.

if you guys want to keep defending china dispite my provide link, just go back to china and check it out.

and i'm done with the argument clearly there are too many ultra nationlist here to argue with

And you think abuse doesn't happen in developed countries especially in school? Yeah you're going by the hypocrite rule that because it's different, it's abuse. In the context of the Olympics somehow that makes the medals China wins less? Earlier I mention a book detailing the abuse that goes on in US women's gymnastics. It must be legitimate if a book was written about it because why write it if it wasn't serious and unique? And you think everyone here is in denial?

as for western bias, yes its certainly exist but not all of them are wrong, some does have some truth in it. its really use my experience as chinese-american to know which is false which is true or "this can happen in china base on my experience, and from talking to other chinese"

WOW! where did you go to school? I spent my elementary school and middle school years in China and had never been touched by my teachers. And I was one of most annoying troublemakers in my class.

Physical punishment has become a taboo in China now. Parents would raise hell if their kids were ever touched.

Again, all hard evidence that you have is that photo. You have yet provide any source for that photo. All you base on is what you have heard. I have heard many abuse cases in the States (again, Penn State?). Does that mean all US colleges abuse their athletes? You HAVE to have statistics if you want to generalize...

Well it's a matter of perspective. I can say do Western kids turn out okay for them to judge? They think so. But look at the results. They say their schools teach people to be creative and innovative, but how many of them actually are and not just lumping themselves with the unique few? You hear kids in Asia commit suicide. Kids in the West don't commit suicide? Maybe that's diiferent because Asian kids commit suicide over meaningless stuff like falling short in education. When Western kids commit suicide, they have good reasons. That the kind twisted nonsense that comes from the people that think they can judge.

Also in general this thread is really giving me the impression of some of the posters wanting China to be a victim in a massive 'western' media plot rather than it actually being one.
This is the olympics, a collection of sporting event to try to find the best in the world, granted, but its not a space race.

We're not all a bunch of masochists and want to feel sorry for ourselves, we don't want there to be a "plot". In fact there is no "plot," nothing so obvious or malevolent. It's just simple bias.

The fact is that all media are biased from their own perspectives, but the problem is taht western media has a greater image of legitimacy.
