For those looking at the cases, it was obvious the two Canadian men, Michael Kovrig & Michael Spavor, had been arrested and charged with espionage by Chinese officials to pressure Canada & the US to free Meng Wanzhou, the Huawei executive. It was an act of “hostage diplomacy."

Exactly what China thought, while Trump may have been irrational, he certainly could be strict, Biden has zero backbone, utterly disappointing

As expected, fans will be allowed, but overseas restrictions won't be loosened up, no surprise in the focus on "only those residing in mainland China" most media sources didn't consider expats, who amount to like .00001% of China's population

China's match was a lot of fun but they should have beaten Vietnam, now its time to take that confidence & step up against Saudi Arabia, without a result they'll be in a very difficult position

No...they 1st opened the border in April for the women's football Olympic qualifying, then again in May for World Cup qualifying, though this is the 1st time for the upcoming Olympics

Beijing Guoan, looking to move away from the CITIC logo inside the team's logo, has announced that after fan voting, this will be the team's new logo starting next season

Team China’s captain offered up a very un-Chinese motivational speech in the team huddle “Let’s shock the fucking world #Olympics2022 #IceHockey

Kanye couldn’t get Lauryn Hill’s vocal sample cleared for “All Falls Down” so Ye & John Monopoly flew down to Miami & went door to door looking for her. She eventually cleared her vocals, then denied. Syleena Johnson came in at the literal last minute & re-sang it saving the song

Another fun bit of video from these #Olympics2022 #IceHockey they played the immediately identifiable Chicago Blackhawks song “Here Come The Hawks” during US women’s games, maybe they’ll play it during China games too for Chelios #blackhawks

Or for some Chicagoans (& Barack Obama) Cominskey Park

Working less than 100 meters from the main Olympic store, I can’t understand why the sudden rush for “Bing Dwen Dwen” & Shuey Rhon Rhon” merch, store’s been open over a year, typically I was only one browsing, suddenly it seems people realized the Olympics are happening

Aslo, what is with the English names “Bing Dwen Dwen” & Shuey Rhon Rhon”? With China’s pinyin push you’d think they would make them straight up pinyin, but this weird pronounciation method reminds me of some Wade-Giles bullshit making it even harder for foreigners to pronounce

yeesh, these comments from Rudi Ying appear pretty cutting, but of all the players he’s certainly the most media trained, perhaps part of the issue was how tired the players were later in the game from completely overplaying the naturalized players due to no alternative

From Canada-Sweden tonight, the pregame dispalys at these Olympics are NHL worthy #beijing2022 #icehockey

Really excited when I got my HJC cycling helmet from what I thought was a trusted TMall store at a price on par with what it would be overseas, everything seemed good, until I flipped over the box, HJC Europe Official I’m guessing a real box doesn’t have all these spelling mistakes?

After the 1923 Kanto earthquake, Japanese police spread rumors that Koreans were poisoning the wells. A lynch mob killed 6000 Koreans and Japanese socialists in the aftermath. Japan’s reactionaries still target Koreans in Japan to this day.
