Why China's top table tennis player had to produce tears after getting a silver medal in Tokyo

After winning a silver medal in the mixed doubles table tennis in Tokyo this week, China's Liu Shiwen offered a tearful apology for her performance.Nationalistic fervour in China is increasingly being driven by citizens rather than the state

Wang's sorry on social media, for failing to qualify in the 10m air rifle shooting, was dismissed by many as not sincere enough."How dare you post a selfie after losing the game?" one Weibo user said. But amid the Communist Party of China's 100th anniversary this year and intensifying tensions with foreign rivals, the pressure appears to have kicked up a notch.As Wang was swamped by vicious comments, China's state media Global Times published an editorial calling for the public to reign in their fury.

Quite disappointing to find the author who produced this heavily biased article is a Chinese Australian. There are hundreds of Olympic news in the world, why pick this one? Get some independent thinking. The player is crying because she aimed to win a gold medal, sadly failed.

Sinophobic propaganda. Alot of Chinese people supported that girl after she was being trolled. There is no reason for you to omit that fact out to support the racist skewed impression that all of China is now heartless because of apparently the gov.

These ridiculous anti-Communist reports have no merit whatsoever and tells you more about these China haters than they do sbout the real China .

Racist propaganda

She should have won the gold. Lost due to unfair judge. Come on! go and watch the game yourself!! Journalist!?

One of the Aussie girls after winning silver did practically the same thing. It was this week but i forget who it was.

Off to the gulag she goes 😥

For the athletes that are receiving undue criticism for their performances Australia would welcome you to our community

china_takes, CarlZha, DanielDumbrill this is a terrible China take.

Because they are expected to get Gold. It’s the fact whether they like it or not.

Dishonour the CCP 😂

It is evil china ccp behinds all these drama stirred up arrogant Chinese propaganda and supremacy over other! Yes China is on the march to supersize the wester world, so second best is not an option to them, they have to be no 1 and dominate the world in every aspect!

Imagine living in a country where you are denied the right to protest, Can't leave the country, Have no choice what you put in your body, Any media with differing opinion is called to be shut down, The army is on the streets and you are encouraged not to talk to your neighbours

为什么澳大利亚没有不那么不要脸的媒体？

A new low from ABC.

The CCP - the real virus.

ReubensteinApac here is another article that’s littered with conspiracy and bizarre claims abc failing to realise athletes who won the silver might be sad because they came just short of gold rather than some insidious 1984 scenario from the state

Wonder how John Coates reacts to a non-gold finish.

Keep working, these ¥0.50 posts will add up.

There you go again ABC

Oh no, their social credit score has taken a big hit. They should seek asylum in japan

Russian revelation: Why there’s no easy solution to state-sponsored dopingTry justifying why every time a ROC athlete wins Olympic gold, it’s Piano Concerto No.1 – scored by Russia’s most famous composer, Tchaikovsky – that blares out over the PA system. Because athletes DO NOT represent themselves at the Olympics, but a country. In the case of punishment it is COLLECTIVE. In the case of Russia it is a country convicted of cheating over a long period. It should not even be allowed to participate the cheating was so egregious. There is. Don't let the athletes compete and eventually they will either say No to their country or won't be able to compete. Right now Russia is giving a big FU to the IOC and the world. I love the western arrogance. There is no shortage of dopers in Australia.
