These people are not chinese. Neither nationality or ethincity. China is cheating. They are using a rule that the lefties put in place to allow immigrants to play for the national teams. You have to live in the country for two years and play for the country's national team. So China send truckloads of money to US and Canadian players .... wait for it ... two years ago to play for their ... wait for it ... national team. Boxes checked, now they are in the olympics as the "Chinese" team.

They went with a team of hired guns and got shot down. Boo hoo.

I’m not sure if this is correct. I believe the rule was put in place to allow players who defected from countries behind the Iron Curtain in the 1980s to play for their new home countries. Doesn’t sound like something a “lefty” would do.
