You laugh but.. this is all part of the world skills that China was meant to host this year, now delayed to next. As part of that, all the precise movements of each participant will be recorded by cameras.
I mean, it's skilled labour no matter how you spin it. Also, there is nothing stopping people from organizing a dishpit Olympics.
I mean, some lunatics in Rada can do whatever, but exchanging ambassador or anything resembling that would have to go through the executives. And I am sure the executives are painfully aware of what happens if they recognize Taiwan in any significant capacity. That's why Zelensky was evasive when question about Taiwan came up.
I am not devaluing their skills, as someone who has done skilled work, is not easy. I am just saying that people today wants everything to be an sport for some reason, which is hilarious.
If this is true, then why the eff does China have such a miniscule arsenal? If China is going to get attacked anyway in a Russia-NATO exchange, then why bother with minimimal credible deterrence and a dinky arsenal? China needs parity at that point.
Supposedly China's minimal credible deterrence has been dropped in the 20th National Congress report.
