China's Poor Living Conditions At Olympics

[Twilight Hue]

I don't get why we don't associate much with Cuba, yet we are in debt to China up to our ears.

It's cheap.

Of course Cuba is famous for its cigars though.

China has money to lend.
Cuba has....old cars.

‘I Cry Every Day’: Winter Olympic Athletes Slam Conditions In COVID Quarantine Hotels
Excerpted....
Vasnetsova passed her time in quarantine with a little detective work. When fetching the food left outside her door, she took a glance at the boxes left outside other rooms in her corridor, whose doors were labeled with signs to distinguish Olympians from other people working at the Games who tested positive, such as team staff.
She concluded the athletes were getting worse food, and underlined it with a picture of food served to her team doctor, who had also tested positive and was living two floors below. He had fresh fruit, a salad and prawns with broccoli. “I honestly don’t understand, why is there this attitude to us, the athletes?!” she wrote.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I wonder if China is helping its own athletes by creating
conditions to harm the performance of other countries?
It's hard to imagine that a country that wealthy & capable
of extreme dedication to achieving goals would fail at
providing good living & training conditions for foreign
athletes.

"The Human Development Index (HDI) is a statistic composite index of life expectancy, education (mean years of schooling completed and expected years of schooling upon entering the education system), and per capita income indicators, which are used to rank countries into four tiers of human development."

Human Development Index - Wikipedia

"China’s HDI value for 2019 is 0.761— which put the country in the high human development category— positioning it at 85 out of 189 countries and territories. Between 1990 and 2019, China’s HDI value increased from 0.499 to 0.761 , an increase of 52.5 percent."

But Cuba always looks so romantic in the movies.

China make goods for the west to the customers specification.
You get exactly what you order.
When a top japanese camera maker has them make their products for them they match the best in the world.
When you order goods down to a price that is exactly what you get.
Like anywhere else their trade and manufacturing is governed by economics.
However the Value of their products is alway very good for the relative specification.

If you want cheap, they will supply you cheap.
Why complain?
When that is exactly what you ordered.

If you guys played hockey you would have noticed the difference between home team dressing rooms and visitor's.

The University of Iowa's opposing football team's locker room is painted pink, perhaps this helping Iowa's football team go undefeated on their home turf in 2003, 2004, and 2015.

Iowa’s Visiting Locker Room is Entirely Pink, and Opposing Teams Hate It

Their human rights record and environmental policies are indeed horrible. They make cheap crap and we buy it.

Eze to know all about a place when you
havent been within 1,000 km

I am sure there are good things about it too. I don't think anything is all good or all evil. Tell me some of the good things.

Hong Kong is #1 in life expectancy, and trades place with Singapore for #1 in education.

Sadly, since the British lease on HK ran out, China is been doing a less than stellar job with it.

It's okay. I have heard great things about Hong Kong. You would know more about it than me by a long shot. It's not coming up for me. It brings up a generic YouTube page. Aw, nuts. Can I look it up?

Like oil we need to stop our dependence on Chinese goods.

Global markets. That's the name of the game in the 21st century. There aren't enough countries for major powers to exploit anymore for their resources.
