    You know I don't at all disagree with your statement here .... BUT I wanna know , what the hell can the world do to "stop them" ....

    yeah there's some economic sanctions that would piss them off but would be largely ineffective in the grand scheme.

    Its like dealing with the grown up version of North Korea ....

    This would be the move. If I remember correctly, Beijing's only competition for the 2022 winter Olympics was Almaty, Kazakhstan and that would've made a lot more geographic sense for a winter games than Beijing. I suspect that corrupt entities like the IOC and FIFA are finding it increasingly difficult to host lavish events in countries where there is some demand for financial oversight and due diligence. Don't forget that a lot of public anger in Brazil was directed at Dilma Rousseff because of the financial quagmire the country faced after hosting the World Cup and Olympics within two years of each other.

    So these countries face a choice: only host the games in locations that don't have to build new venues (ie, not as much money for the IOC or FIFA) or look to autocratic countries where nobody can complain about the expense.

    It is too late. When Slick Willie let these thieves and murderers into the WTO, these commie bastards gained the means and resources to fukk the whole world up. Good luck asking people around the world and here in America to turn down cash. Just ask Lebron to walk away from Chinese money.

    So this is just one incident that was leaked.
    So the female tennis players have to bang the 75 year old communists
    What about the figure skating and gymnastics teams?
    They got some Epsteins there for sure

    Not doing business with them does not "make them change".

    It won't make them a democracy and it wont stop their crimes against humanity. They will still be the same **** stain on the world.


    Not doing business with them might make you feel better about somehow saying "fvck those commie bastards" ..... but it doesn't stop them.


    They have a billion people to exploit and you cant invade them .....

    I'm unconcerned with their style of governing and more worried about the influence they wield in the world. The West is actively censoring everything from Hollywood movies to YouTube videos because they're scared of losing that CCP money. We need to get back to our core values and tell them to **** off. We saw right away the problem the Soviet Union posed but with the Chinese we just need to get our cheap goods so we look the other way. Things are starting to change but we're going about it way too slowly...

    people are also trying to censor or 'cancel' comedy like Dave Chappelle which is the most UN AMERICAN thing ever.
    No trans people have ever been beaten up because some that Netflix special, the last Netflix special Dave made funny of Jessie Smollet,
    you see anyone beat him up ? like for real not a fake story?

    This story never got top billing
    An international tennis star being rapped by a 75 year old politician

    yet people in America get mad at Dave Chappelle jokes and DaBaby
    That was top story

    I know when he was hitting it, she was seeing a bag over his ugly head the whole time. It keeps this strong and beautiful woman like Peng Shuai not to barf all over herself.

    The US Olympics had their share of horrible incidents like what happened with the gymnastics team

    but if that happened in China would that ever come out in public?

    It's quite possible at this social media age, as there is no way to hide negative news completely any more. Sooner or later those things will pop out. I believe 2 police ministers at national level were put on trail for corruption and sex sandals recently (money and women/men/transgenders?, the forever most effective corruption vehicles and attacking tools throughout human history). One may argue that there might be political opponents at work, but that's just how politics work, isn't it?
