It's one of the largest countries on Earth, the one that is probably seeing the most growth and winter sports' practice in the world, and it's neither in Europe or North America and has the means to organize such global event. So it seems like a very good choice and the development of winter sports in the country was even mentioned by the IOC President during the opening ceremony.
your comment reads like propaganda when you don't even mention the many problems ....
i think we shouldn't support countries with horrible human rights ? its basically legitimizing their genocide,force labour, organ harvesting from prisoners of conscience, threatening to invade Taiwan etc...
this is going to kill the Olympics, no one i know is watching it because of the issues.
It's tiring to be accused of propaganda simply for not repeating the things you do blindly whenever China is mentioned, but rather stating factual points.
umm after years of accusations and the CCP hiding the camps they finally admitted to them existing but they call them "education camps" come on now... your saying we should trust their word? and ignore all the people who suffered ? reminds me of Nazi Germany and how they played these games as if the camps where there for a good reason, CCP even mimics them with their fake media invitations but refuses to let anyone see one at random.
When you ignore all these facts and spew CCP propaganda i will call it what it is propaganda
Money talks. The Olympics are often used as a form of gaining geopolitical goodwill and laundering money through extraordinary inflation of costs. Both the Beijing(2008) and Sochi(2014) Olympics cost north of 45 billion dollars. In comparison the Olympics in Turin and Vancouver were 4.5 and 7.6. Some of cost differences can be explained by population differences, but not by a factor of 10x.
