Tbh I think it's a little more concerning that it's the first winter Olympics in which they will have to use 100% fake snow and no one really cares about the, uh, bigger picture that accompanies that at all lololol

Seriously its a great question.

If you have to warn your athletes about not bringing a cell phone because they are going to be hacked by the surveillance state dictatorship that is participating in an ongoing genocide against its own citizens all in the middle of a global pandemic maybe just dont go

All these issues you bring up are all well and good.

But billionaires need to make money off the back of a dictatorships numerous crimes, so I think you can see why it needs to go ahead.

You don't think it is a bit odd that the world is condemning China for genocide and warning their athletes to use burner phones as the dictatorship government will track them otherwise, but are still fine with putting on a global event that almost certainly will see the abuse of slave labour to put on - while use fake snow in winter?

China has been actively threatening everyone that even floats the idea of a boycott. That's why.

https://www.bbc.com/news/world-asia-china-59592347
China has warned countries who have announced a diplomatic boycott of the Beijing Winter Olympics that they "will pay the price for their mistaken acts".

I can't wait to be reminded that "This is a time for unity". We can hate and fuck each other over the 200 weeks in between though.

The IOC should make a note to never let China host an Olympics again, then
