Two words: Fuck China.

Their “anything to get ahead” attitude is sickening. They’re exploiting the hell out of little kids by taking them from their families, putting the fear and pressure of a billion people on them, and putting makeup on them to try and pull off “16″.

It’s not working, guys. They’re fucking kids. 14 on a good day. The world is watching as you try and cheat your way to victory. We see what you are.

This same cheating mentality is driving the insane amount of pollution in the country.

But who cares? Who gives a hell if the country is poisoned and ruined, right? What’s a few thousand people with cancer? As long as they’re an economic superpower, right? Anything for the glory of country, right? Displace tens of thousands to build the stadium, hide the squalor that their people live in day after day, lock up people who dissent.

All to make money. All to become powerful.

I hope the IOC finds that the Chinese lied about the ages of the young gymnasts. I hope they get stripped of all their medals. I wish them extreme embarrassment.

It will, in some small part, repay their soulless exploitation of humans for the sake of nationalism.:

    I lived in Taiwan for two years, and I can tell you that Chinese people, and Asians in general, look to be younger than Westerners think they are. This is mostly due to their naturally small physique, and their faces which continue to look somewhat child-like even well into adulthood. Perhaps the gymnasts aren’t 16, and the Chinese were counting on that fact to try to pass them off as such. On the other hand, perhaps they are 16 and we Westerners aren’t good enough at determining the age of Asians yet. Either way, it will be interesting to find out what happens.
