Could those of you who are watching do us who are boycotting a favor? Turn it off during the commercials. I don’t want China to be rewarded for their deplorable behavior.

I almost never watch the commercials anyway. No problem here.
Besides...the commercials I am seeing are Canadian. I couldn’t buy that stuff anyway.

Standard Communist Chinese salute. I believe the Young Pioneers of the old Soviet Union did something similar.

Despite the commie crapola, the show so far is pretty neat. These dancer/artists are amazing.
China wasn’t always Communist. They have a LOT of truly cool history. This show should be amazing.

The atlethes are NOT supposed to breathe.
Also, they must apologize profusely and repeatedly for wearing those black masks on Tuesday.
Nothing less!!!!
Didn’t you get the memo?
:O)

They had some when they raised the Chinese flag, but that’s to be expected. Every nation has it’s armed forcces raise it’s own flag at the Opening Ceremonies. We did too.
If there are soldiers in the show otherwise, they are not in uniform.
