I mean its one thing to have a polemic trolls that never posts anything of value, cant lead any intelligent discussion, just parott U.S. regime propaganda talking points and spam U.S. regime propaganda and disinformation all day, who try to challenge the absolute boundaries and rules set by a forum or other media to push their propaganda crusade. Thats just the troubles of having an open forum.

Its another thing to give them them privileges like this Think Tank title and allow them to abuse the Negative Ratings to downvote posts stating just the most simple indisputable objective fact just because the truth triggers them, when the last 1000 post you can remember all sound like some angry and obsessed manchild and that never contribute anything of value or even relevance and are often just deliberately derailing topics with stupid trolling, that put into question with what justification the person or organization behind that account even has the title and who granted it to them with what justifcation, when hes doing absolutely nothing and the opposite of a "think tank", unless you use the U.S. State Department definition of "think tank" which just means "parotts U.S. propaganda"

China lost to Canada so it doesn't matter what money can buy.

The US beat China like a drum, 8-0, with a bunch of college dudes. US NHL stars were unable to attend.

In the summer of 2015, the future of ice hockey in China looked promising.

The country had just won the bid to host the 2022 Winter Olympic Games in Beijing—a major coup for a nation not traditionally known for its winter sports prowess. And that June, Beijing-born Song Andong, a bright-eyed 18-year-old ambassador for the Chinese Olympic Committee, had become the first-ever Chinese player to be drafted into the U.S.'s National Hockey League (NHL).

In the months that followed, China embarked on a monumental push to expand the sport and develop an Olympics-worthy men's ice hockey team by building ice rinks, promoting youth leagues, and hiring top foreign coaches. China even enlisted the help of the NHL to nurture a new generation of ice hockey fans in the country.

China's Olympic organizers refitted two stadiums in downtown Beijing—the national indoor stadium and the Wukesong Sports Center, both of which were built for the 2008 Summer Games—to become the main venues for the Winter Games' ice hockey events. The organizers flew in foreign ice rink experts to ensure the ice was just right—smoother, harder and colder than regular rinks and suitable for professional-level play.


But now, with the Beijing Winter Games only two months away, there's a major hitch: the China men's ice hockey team may not ever step a skate onto the Olympic ice. On Monday, hockey's international governing body, the International Ice Hockey Federation (IIHF), will decide whether or not to ban China's national team from Olympic play due to "insufficient sporting standard."

"Watching a team being beaten 15-0 is not good for anyone, not for China or for ice hockey," then-IIHF president Luc Tardif told AFP in September.

In short, the team is potentially too bad to compete.

China's ice hockey team is so bad it might be banned from the Olympics

A ban would be an embarrassing outcome for a country that's spent millions trying to become a hockey powerhouse.

Wait are you saying the Arctic country USA was defeated by a temperate&tropical country? Even 99% of the population in this temperate&tropical country can only see snow for one or two days a year.
