Less than 14 days until the threatening Olympic Games in Beijing and the hosts are in the expected strong condition.
With China it's a bit like FC Bayern in the Bundesliga before the start of the season: Everyone knows what's going to happen now, but just like every game has to be played, there always needs to be someone who makes a threat also pronounce.
Insert: The only reasons why we had to think of the Bavarian one-party state (of German football, not politics!) are Paul Breitner, Mao and the Peking-Rundschau. But enough comparing apples to lychees, let's focus on Olympia and the Chinese. Of course you can threaten the international athletes with Chinese laws in advance in order to send their heads to the cinema: Let's go to the horror film for a few impressions of China's penal system.
Desired outcome: No one intends to say what they think.
But is there more to come from those in power?
Have you really thought of everything and everyone?
After all, self-incrimination is part of the Chinese judiciary's repertoire like Xi is part of Jinping, like "together" is part of the Olympic motto "faster, higher, stronger", like Thomas is part of Bach.
So: What are the hosts planning to do with Olympia officials?
