In my latest editorial for CGTN, I ask why the West refuses to congratulate China for delivering a safe and enjoyable Olympics.
There is only one conclusion we can draw about these Games: They were a phenomenal success. International Olympic Committee President Thomas Bach admitted the obvious during the closing ceremony on February 20, when he called the Beijing Games “truly exceptional.”
However, a host of Western-based news organizations – and even certain sports officials – want us to believe something very different.
And that is very sad.
