They just starting cheating on overdrive during this Olympics, maybe because it's in their home field. 5% of world's athletes having 62% of the world's legalised doping, courtesy of rubber stamp paper permissions from WADA (Washington Athelte Doping Agency). Purple swimming team. Sabotage.
They cannot be considered winners until they come clean with ample evidence backing it up.
But what I think is really interesting in this Olympics is how China has really made strides in many random smaller sports that can't be so easily cheated. This will probably be the key to permanently shitting on US at Olympics, surround from the countryside by only contesting the "big" aka easy to cheat sports, while sweeping all the "small" sports.
Not to mention doing so encourages Chinese people to develop interests in a more varied range of sports.
I see this as a healthy development for China.
No more wasting money on creating a few insane medal athletes for "winnable" sports (putting monumental amounts of pressure on them to perform).
Instead spend the money on more generalised sports development across a wider range of sports in schools, encourage more healthy youths and less emphasis on medals.
You can really feel it this year across chinese social media that people don't care about medals as much. I think the Chinese government and people have understood that there is no point competing like this when the events format is so rigged. If they win congrats, if they lose try again next time.
Even non-American westerners are starting to realise Chinese athletes are friendlier and have so much more sportsmanship (eg He Bingjiao, gymnasts) while Americans are the only smoothbrained morons in the comments still going "fyeah we are number 1" when everybody knows they don't deserve it
