>>>Liu’s face was plastered all over China in commercials and numerous corporate sponsorships such as Nike, Coca-Cola, Visa, Cadillac<<<

What gives here?

Is Liu committed to Nike et al, or is he committed to the ChiComms and these companies controlled by the ChiComms?

I watched the beach volleyball last night and noticed that both the US and Chinese ladies wore the Nike ‘swooshtica’. Coke and Nike are all over the Olympics.

Is this what globalism looks like?

I appreciate your take on this.

The article says that Liu has sponsorship contracts with Nike and other multinationals, but I suspect he also has similar contracts with other (probably Chinese) companies.

For China's sports bureaucracy, Liu is the cash cow just like Yao Ming .
