The 2022 Winter Olympics are in BEIJING, Kit Cat, and the last thing Xi wants is men simply signing up for the women's medals.
The Chinese despise 'woke', and the name they give woke folk in the US is "Baizuo", and it's not a compliment.
This development is something very close to the IOC giving the CCP the middle finger, and it would have everything to do with Xi's failure to grift the individual IOC nation-members with the appropriate graft.
China should just have all their “female” athletes be men and give the IOC the middle finger.
Russia could play too!
This needs to be crammed down the throats of the IOC.
