Q: If the UK overtakes China in the medal count will the Olympics be banned?

A few days ago I noticed the UK was a distant 3rd but yesterday they were 5 behind China. Today, they are 1 behind. The athletic competitions are usually towards the end and China stinks when it comes to athletics. China has 1.4 billion people they really should finish 1st but because America is a melting pot we can attract the best from different countries. But if the UK can finish 2nd that would be a real achievement. A 3rd finish for China, a country that takes the Olympics very serious, would be embarrassing. 

So if China finishes 3rd, will the Olympics go the way of a certain country beginning with P in South America.

Nah, the media will just start showing less of the Olympics and more stories about drunk foreigners doing stupid things and hurting Chinese people's feelings.

I would expect them to cry foul and demand an apology from the IOC for hurting the feelings of the Chinese people. As of right now, UK has 2 more gold medals.

The country is splattered with so many incorrectly used olympic logos that not even China has the man power to fix it. (they will of course fall down by themselves)

Watching cctv 5 and 5+ for 16 hrs a day it definitely seems to me that China is the only country winning gold medals.

Hmmm....come to think if it a lot of those ppl do look familiar in an I've seen them before kind of way.

royceH:

I've just seen the final of the steeplechase and the winning margin between 1st and 2nd is one second but that tells us nothing.  Have a look at it if you can.  Fantastic.

Yeah, they just keep showing repeats of them winning. When they went a couple of days without winning it was especially annoying. Also whats with the Chinese volleyball team, they seem to lose every match but are some how still in the competition.

The volleyball ladies won a five set thriller against Brazil last night.  I lost 30 on it.

It was the battle of the flats and the rounds.

shanghaiist.com/2016/08/17/china_bad_olympics.php

 

If the Shanghaiist is to be believed, the reaction has been to ask everyone to lower their expectations, abandon their gold medal complex, critisize other countries poor sportsmanship and to attribute some other countries success to having Chinese people on their teams.

 

Gold medals are only glorious when China is winning them it seems.

They've already started posting news about how unfair the judges are and how the competitions are rigged to make China lose.  As always they are pointing the finger outward, rather than dealing with the truth.  The truth is that America with its population of people from all over the world, will always dominate countries like China that can only draw from one "genetic pool".  Its like trying to win a cooking competition with one ingredient while your opponent has access to the whole supermarket.  Not fair.  China could also have a huge immigrant population. At least from Africa, if they wanted to.  However, many Chinese don't like foreigners in their country, much less black ones.   Which is why China will never compare to America in anyway.  They can and do copy America every chance they get, but a copy will always pale when compared to the original. 

Englteachted:

Oddly enough, they started paying athletes 60% less for bringing home the gold. Someone is having money problems.

Race has nothing to do with it. All people are 99.9% identical. On the other hand, other countries don't eat white rice 3 times a day. Rice has no vitamins, no nutrients, no value but filler. The difference is in the diet.

Yep, they're generally terrible losers. It's sort of ironic considering the media has been going on about poor sportsmanship in the games.

A: "... through ..."?  Only "through" comes to mind is "Shenzhen agent can connect you with an employer, who's authorized to hire waigouren ... and can sponsor Z visa." It's not like every 10th person you meet in Shenzhen's hood can sponsor work visa ...  The only way to change from student to labourer visa is just a regular way by: 1. Finding an employer, who'll apply for an Invitation letter; 2. Exit China and apply for Z visa in your home country's Chinese embassy; 3. Enter China in 30-days after Z visa was stamped into your travelling instrument ...As I am aware, you won't be able to switch to Working permit by remaining in China....,so make ready for a return to your home .... -- icnif77
