With all of the attention on the Olympics, Americans are learning that China is more than something you register to get as a wedding gift. Previously, I ranted about how the Chinese are beating us at our own mediocrity game, and now they have gone and beaten us again.
According to the obvious physical appearance of the Chinese girl gymnasts and various evidence to be found on the Internets, many of these gymnasts are not sixteen – the age required by the International Olympics Committee (IOC) to compete. Yet their government issued passports all say that they are, and the IOC is accepting that at face value, despite the obvious.
Why, you ask, should we care? Well, it’s not the obvious fact that they cheated and therefore won the team gold meal from our deserving and aged women gymnasts, nor is it that their government lied to an international body and is getting away with it. It’s that they lied, got caught, and no one cares or dares to do anything about it. We just aren’t that good. The Chinese indeed deserve to win that gold medal.
