NBC's 'Today' had a puffball segment Wednesday cheering the genocidal Chinese for their #BeijingOlympics in February and star Eileen Gu, the American teen who chose to compete for China.
Earlier in the show, they got upset about Roe and women being under siege in the U.S.....🤔

Later, NBC's Hoda Kotb lamented Eileen Gu faced "backlash" for choosing to compete for China instead of the U.S. at the #WinterOlympics.
She then allowed Gu to dismiss China's record b/c she wanted to "us[e] sport as a force of communication" to introduce Chinese people to snow

NBC's Hoda Kotb, excusing genocide: "Do you feel you needed...a thick skin for what came at you after that?"
China's Eileen Gu: "Absolutely....People...have their...opinions...[T]here's no wrong or right. There's only intention & I'm trying to make the world a better place."

1. #NixonMao #rapprochement 50th ANNIVERSARY: SOME FACTS & LESSONS.
In only 50 years, everything changes. Strategic interests of two great powers aligned then as much as they clash today.
I hate threads but my blog is not out yet: here some disorderly thoughts.

2. In 1972, China needed to avert a terrestrial invasion from #USSR. The #UnitedStates was keen to gain a heavy-weight partner to checkmate #Moscow; but the long-term objective was to bring the most populous country into a rising US-led global economic order for the US to profit
3. In the following decades, the relationship was not void of tensions. However, strategic interests were important enough to save it from #TaiwanRelationsAct, #Reagan anti #communism and support for #Taiwan; #TiananmenSquare; #StraitCrisis 1995-1996; #Belgrade bombing
To sum up #Beijing Winter Olympics 2022:
1) China held the event in a pandemic
2) Showcased measures to control Covid, keeping everyone safe. (Embarrassing US/UK)
3) First carbon neutral games
4) Solidarity among athletes despite media hostility.
5) Beautiful, hi-tech facilities

The @BBC blathering on again about NO SNOW, then TOO MUCH SNOW. 🙄
So instead of Plague Island learning anything from the #BeijingOlympics, the BBC blocks facts with hate propaganda.
China spends more on green energy than anyone else, and the games are carbon neutral.
