When Qin Haiyang broke the world record in 200m breast in Fukuoka, Dong Zihao was 4th place and broke the world junior record at the same time. So Dong Zihao already has some experience at big events. Maybe has can surprise the competition when all the attention was on Qin Haiyang.
Imagine if Dong wins gold. They were so focused on Qin and sabotaged him that they forget to take care of Dong because they didn't determine him worthy enough.

That would actually be a bigger middle finger to the west. Even if you took care of one guy, there's anothrr to take his place.

Probably has something to do with Russians having lost their position in this sport. The Russian performers were more artistic. When they were dominating the floor, everyone followed. Their influence has run its course. Now the wind has changed. The players are now judged by their strength more.
Up to the time of the Peking Olympics, there was also the accusation that the China and Eastern Europeans were using under aged girls because of their slight build., meanwhile the girls from the Western teams could go on to become pole dancers when their gymnastic careers are over.

The majority of top competitive swimmers from the five eyes countries are "asthma sufferers". Googling "asthma in olympic swimmers" will get you tons of "inspirational" stories about such athletes. Somehow these "inspirational asthma sufferers" all ended up in a sport where efficient lung functioning is of the utmost importance. It can't possibly have anything to do with the fact that these "inspirational asthma sufferers" all have therapeutic use exemptions for asthma medications.

In 2008, almost 25 percent of swimmers, 26 percent of open water swimmers and 22 percent of synchronized swimmers had asthma.
...
Asthma was more common in aquatic endurance sports, which included swimming, open water swimming and synchronized swimming, than in nonedurance events like diving, they write in the Journal of Allergy and Clinical Immunology.
“What was surprising for me to find was that there were significant differences between the endurance and non-endurance sports, as well as the distinct geographical distributions.”
...
More athletes from Oceania, Europe and North America had asthma than those from Asia, Africa and South America, the authors found.
