      Americans are well known for loving "fair play" in sports, politics (this is mildly true from the Dems), and whatever else

        politics (this is mildly true from the Dems)

        It's not that they don't want to, they just don't have to because they agree with the other party. When anyone left of Clinton gets influence they'll gleefully cheat and backstab.

          Right true for the party but I'm thinking more along the lines of voters

      Edit: just to state my opinion more clearly, in my experience, Chinese people view cheating and fair play differently that we do in western cultures. Not better or worse, just different. I’m not saying all Chinese people cheat all the time. That’s ridiculous. But they do not seem to share the same cultural concept of fair play upon which the Olympics are founded. Can Chinese athletes Live up to the Olympic ideal? Certainly. Can American athletes cheat? Certainly.

      Aah, American sport founded injecting steroid, aah. Some of them even got caught decade later because the system tried it best to hide it, and even happening now. Pure projection.

        tbf it's not like doping is actually cheating. every elite athlete does it, if you get caught it's just because you did something dumb most of the time.

      Lecturing Chinese people on cheating and fair play from atop land obtained by broken treaties.
