China drops most gold medalists from Olympic team

More than half of China's gold medalists have been purged from the Chinese Olympic team, often for political reasons.

Remind me again: why are we cooperating with the most murderous regime in human history in staging an event which has served as the occasion of a huge crackdown against dissidents who believe in freedom, and now for a second crackdown against athletes this totalitarian state does not consider politically reliable?

China needs to be publicly shamed at these Olympics, which ought to be boycotted by the democracies of the world.
