It’s all allegations, they never even confirmed any cultural genocide taking place in China. Why doesn’t the US just send a NATO rep to investigate and confirm or deny any events taking place?

Oh right, western propaganda

    I was watching the CBC broadcast of the opening ceremony and when Hong Kong and Taiwan came in the camera cut to Xi. The commentators immediately said "wow, that was very deliberate, we didn't do that. CBC isn't filming this it's just broadcasting it so that pan wasn't us. Xi did this on purpose to assert his power."

    Then when the Canadian team came on about 5 minutes later the camera followed them all the way to the exit and filmed them until every single person was through the door, completely ignoring like 5 other countries' entrances. Canada was the only team they did that for, and they were commenting on how their CBC cameraman was following them.

    Which one is it?

        They sounded genuinely surprised that they chose people to represent the 56 ethnicities to carry the flag rather than some famous or prominent figures. They even went so far as to say "this flies in the face of what we normally hear on the news about China"

          Maybe sports journalists are not that used to make sinophobic propaganda and will sometimes fall out of character?

              Definitely the intent, though the way it was said really came off like the guy who said it had a moment of doubt. A slip up on their part but if I were just a regular dude watching the Olympics I'd probably still pick up on the uncertainty the guy spoke with
