They took a dive. The Mob is in every country.
I did a 100k race in Hong Kong called the Maclehose. The Gurkas always won. Then one year China entered some military teams. They ran interference for the lead team, changed shoes at every checkpoint and just all around cheated to win a friggen charity race. Their petty, inferiority complex was on full display. Nobody thinks they beat the Gurka team fairly.

This is what equity looks like in China; In the USA it would be IV league admission officers giving preference to protected minorities.
