There is another side too. Nobody really cares over here. I mean, who was going before who is not going now? Nobody actually knows, or cares. Who is going now? Who knows, who cares.

I suppose the good side is that the more senior type nobheads are pretty used to and jaded by these lavish junkets, they don't really give a toss- but junior nobheads probably do and they are probably looking forward to it. Olympics are known to be pretty lavish junkets. Or maybe scomo should just tell them all to stay home- like who cares, except maybe them.

And the athletes, whoever they might be, are going just the same. A lot of international bonking goes on in these games I am informed. It is likely that Australia might win a sun bronzed medal in the bonking, but doubt we will get any on on the piste (just the pissed).

Yeah, standard chinky SOP. Try and change the narrative.

However, the narrative is still "XXXXXXXX boycott blah blah blah CHINKYSTAN HUMAN RIGHTS ABUSES".

I see France are being pussies, probably the IOC have threatened them, but the squareheads are thinking about an EU two-fingered salute.

On the positive side, this has raised one slight point of interest in these games which I never had before. How might the Chinese hosts respond to these pinpricks, if at all?

Will they play the 'above it all, noblesse oblige' tack- as if nothing really happened (and lets face it, nothing really did).

Or will they play a bit of snide- and the chinks are pretty good at that. For example, might the high flying squakus contingent find themselves all lobbed together at the same table(s), with a partially obscured view of the 'great chinese fan dance extravaganza' (or whatever) in the back corner of the auditorium, while the enlightened gentlemen of the Solomon Islands and Kiribati- who have switched diplorecognition from ROC to PRC in the last year- find themselves seated at the front row centre tables previously reserved for the yanks?

That might be interesting to see, anyway. Let the games begin!


^ Well in fairness to France, they are a real Medal contender.

Sabang: "Chinkystan doesn't care"
Also Sabang: "Endless Blah Blah Blah about the fucking olympics that no c u n t cares about anyway".

Well I got a larf out of it, real pity you didn't .

It's the winter olympics. Not even proper olympics are they.

Didn't see yer fucking greeks prancing around on a snowboard.

I blame that Baron de Coubertin.

Which will showcase China as an alternative location for a winter holiday option. Prior to this event, nobody would have thought China even had such facilities.

1. Don't winter holidays usually involve going somewhere nice and sunny. ie, to escape the fookin' winter.

2. Pretty sure the Harbin Ice Festival is known to most people in the world looking to freeze one's nads off.

I have no plans whatsoever to watch anything from the winter olympics.

I shall boycott China as I boycotted Japans summer olympics.

Non event for me, but I can understand if others want to watch some 2am curling .

They won gold here.







Which just may be the best Olympic (and most Australian) gold medal ever.

Ah yes, the great Steven Bradbury. His triumph sparked a whole new sport Downunda.




A true David and Goliath epic!

Tell that to those who hit European/North American winter sports venues Jan to Mar every year.

Yea . . . nah.

Not.

Tourists go to China for the cultural and ancestral aspect, maybe some amazing geography . . . that's about it. China makes it too difficult to enter as a tourist, doesn't have the infrastructure to support it and lacks the safety background.

Why not? Oh, you mean the decades of the Cultural revolution, the Great Leap Forward or generally trying not to have more than 100 million people die, many due to starvation?

Korea, Japan . . . winter holidays took decades to become well known enough, safe enough, cosmopolitan enough to entice some foreigners.

Come to chinkystan for your winter break! Enjoy our delicious bat and pangolin buffets, washed down with a fresh corona!

I believe it has probably more than 'waned' but likely dissappeared.

Sorry, russ: I think you're a cool little hippy dude in canada.

But, Trump is the one — in the west — who said it's time to take on china which engages in unfair trade practices, illegally copies tech and is a totalitariainistic country.

Before, Trump: the e.u., dubya and obama were pro-china.

Once Trump stood up to china — they hit us with the "wuhan virus".

Yup, I remember you well from the ancient AF days.

Could you elaborate on this:

Would you disagree?

Do you think the EU, Dubya or Obama did so before Trump?

I don't disagree. I'll credit Trump with that.

Cheers.

cheers

Yet another slightly clunky sammy interaction.

"Cheers"

"Cheers"

Who does that?
