    Similar to the USSR pushing the Ukraine and a few other chunks of the Soviet empire as "independent countries" with the right to have their own Olympic teams. In other words, a farce.



    Impeach Bush.

    The CCP and Chinese Olympic Committee allowed it. Since there is a quota to the number of participants from the same country in any event, if they allow Hong Kong, it doubles the quota and a win is still a Chinese win.
