I don't know why you're getting so hung up on the fact that China was able to poach the gold medalist talent while Luxemburg's "cream of the crop" is some old Chinese lady. She's literally their most competitive offering.
Just like the various fifth columnists that end up going to the west to talk shit about China. What are they? Some no life losers, literal scam artists and cultists, radical feminists, dregs of society that couldn't cut it in China. Addendum: also shitlibs that everyone hates.
A day may come when America crumples. But that day is not now or in the near future. Until then, there’s nothing the Palestinians or Iranians can do about it. They are simply over matched.
I haven’t seen any country do anything meaningful for the Palestinians. A lot of yelling of response, response….and then nothing.
I don't hold anything against Eileen Gu for maximally exploiting all the opportunities available to her. That being said, I certainly also don't look at her as a Chinese sports hero in the same vein as the Chinese gold medalists that are born, raised, and stay in China. She's just another classic mercenary like the various foreign coaches hired to train Chinese gold medalists. You can always pay them for their skills, but you always know it's only about the money. They are not the same people who would be fighting foreign imperialists on behalf of China during a time when China is oppressed, exploited, and disadvantaged. They are not "true believers". She's like the ones who fled to HK, Taiwan, and elsewhere during China's darkest hours. Or the ones who fled to Australia, Canada, and US in more recent times to preserve their corruption money stolen from public coffers or other corruption activities. They fled to preserve or expand their wealth, and they return when there is wealth to loot from China. There's no trust, faith, or patriotism there at all. Just purely exploitative or transactional.

Russia want to avoid this fate of Germany/Europe thats why it has to throw out the trash from its society that is undermining demographics. for this to happen the Ukraine war has to be conducted in a way that meet the Royal families of Arabia standards. there are many ways Russia is thanking them.
That Samir Saran said to Germans that " We are coming, we will help you grow faster and grow in Right direction". People often laugh at Indians here that India did not grow that much despite British left over industries not realizing Arab undermining of India for many decades.
That day is 5 away years AT MAX, meaning most likely to happen even before then. Bookmark this post and then please come back then.
Regarding the second part, I have yet to see Hamas "defeated", Palestinians expelled, Gaza controlled again and other pipe dreams.
All I see is even more recruits for Hamas, more international support of all kinds, Iran getting stronger as a regional power by day, etc.
Keep in mind that the US and their Westoid European allies has been defeated and beaten into amnesia by Houthis, Iraninan junior partner.
So, who is over matched? The US is - by everyone nowadays. And it's a question how effectively they even defend their own borders anymore.
Please explain your calculation of how exactly will the US collapse in 5 years or less.

Honestly, it's Wang's fault for not putting his paddle in a proper place. As I understand, he threw it to the ground in celebration and forgot about it, and thus, it was stepped on by a photographer whose head was understandably buried in his camera.
Nyet, not this time, not this woman. This woman left to play for these countries because it was agreed upon with her Chinese colleagues that she was too old, wouldn't have a chance in China and wasn't good enough to win for those countries either.
Here's a juicy rumor: this lady was trained in an older style that resembled North Korean doctrine. Because of the danger of losing to a mysterious North Korean duo in the mixed doubles finals using a style no one had experience fighting against, she went back to team China and gave a demonstration in North Korean style in order to prep Wang and Sun for the battle.

Interesting background context. Again, I was not trying to single her out in particular though. Also, I doubt Wang lost because of the paddle. He admitted himself that he was emotionally rattled by the broken paddle and it led to many mistakes. I'm sure his backup paddle is just as good as the main one.
Enlightenment thinkers were often times big fans of Confucianism and meritocratic governance. That didn’t change the fact that Qing Empire became a rotted carcass of a once great nation and deserved every bit of disdain.
