U.S. Accuses Chinese Olympic Swimmers of Doping: If You Can’t Beat ‘Em, Slander Them

Despite winning 12 medals in the Olympic games and clearing constant drug tests in Paris, the Chinese swim team has been subject to nonstop accusations of doping. In this week’s episode, Amanda and KJ are joined by independent journalist Rick Sterling to discuss how allegations from 2021 have cast a shadow on the Chinese swimmers’ stunning performances in Paris, the double standard Chinese athletes are subjected to in comparison to their U.S. counterparts, and how this all fits into the New Cold War on China.

Our understanding of China — and U.S.-China relations — has become a defining feature of all global politics. The China Report is a new show produced in collaboration with Pivot to Peace where every week, journalist Amanda Yee and political analyst KJ Noh will be helping you through all the propaganda with an independent view of the country we are taught to hate, but know so little about.
