So besides the lip syncing kid and the CGI fireworks, apparently they also cheated on the "55 ethnic groups"

Turns out they were all Han Chinese, which makes up 92% of China, and they said screw the other 54 groups.

This is why I'm not watching the Olympics, well that and a complete lack of interest. I do find it interesting all the stuff they're faking.

china is an oppressive country. they have been screwing (sometimes brutally suppressing) the minority ethnic groups for decades... not surprising if they weren't present at the ceremony.

it is the same with almost every other 3rd world shithole. they all suppress and oppress their minorities.

10's and 10's of countries in south asia, east asia, arabia, africa, south america, eastern europe, USSR-bloc do it.

Its China, is anyone surprised? Still an embarassment that we're even having them there.
