Shit, there are rumours of China intentionally crippling athletes to be competitive in the Paralympics. Considering they went from 6th in golds and 8th in totals to 1st in both within four years I could believe that. And even 20th in golds and 22nd in totals to 1st in both in the Winter Paralympics between 2018 and 2022, something fucking stinks there. I'm willing to believe there are individuals and countries that will pull any trick necessary to win.

Countries absolutely will cheat at the Olympics to win but I'd be wary of such overt rumors, propoganda game works both ways.

There's a pretty simple theory for Chinese dominance in such events which is that the massive population means you've got a massive population of disabled people to draw from and more people to draw from means a higher chance of getting exceptionally talented individuals.

Expect India to dominate the Olympics as their economy improves and people can dedicate their lives to sports rather than avoiding starvation.

China is a country that is apparently a bottomless pit of human rights violations. Just when you think it can’t get any worse, they pull out the executed prisoner organ harvesting, and you think that’s as low as it can go and you find out that they’re doing it to Uighers, and you think, well it can’t get any worse than that and you find out they’re taking hearts from living people to sell.

I swear one day we are going to find out that they are literally woodchippering toddlers to produce the red dye for paper napkins or some shit.

It would be really funny to see the Chinese reactions to drag queen story hours though I doubt the drag queen would survive the experience.
