Torture is sill Torture no matter what excuses you use to back it up. And if the parents of the children are sending them to (lets call in “train”), It’s not like the childern would have a say in what they want in the end.
It’s just goes to show how primative some cultures are. And sadly it’s not like making people aware of this fact isn’t going to change anything since this culture has most likely been putting there children through this for longer than we care to think.
I think these kids don’t really mind. They seems proud to serve their country. Isn’t this just healthy Nationalism? It’s not easy to win the olympics.
it may not be easy but they hav u wotk there little asses of too do this i agreee with u but cant u see these chilren are in such pain !!!!!!
Who are we to judge? Every culture is unique. They instill high discipline in their people. They live healthier, longer lives than us. Discipline and self control is the key to living a healthy life, free of disease and unnecessary stress.
Are you serious? That is not discipline, it is torture of young children with no recourse or ability to stop it. Have they not proved that this does not work. None of the American children are subjected to this and we still won more medals.
yh thts true USA never had to go through tbhis niether did GB and they may b prond to come from china but im pround to come from GB we as a nation r tring tov encorrage young children like myself to want toi a chgive somthing in life but not making them suffer like china do “!!!!!
reply to thisif u agree with ,meee !!!!!!!xsxxxx :’(
Really? I understand that every culture is unique. I get it, but that argument alone doesn’t give carte blanche to a country willing to sacrifice the emotional well being of its children in exchange for national glory. It’s not far from the rationale that attorneys for the Nazi’s used in the Nuremberg Trails after WWII. They asked the same question.
The good things about the Chinese culture are still good. They aren’t rendered null and void. However, they shouldn’t excuse the things that are wrong either. I admire discipline. I condemn abuse.
you obviously don’t know much about China or the Chinese people. China is going through a national crisis since they ejected morality decades ago. Government officials like never before are starved for models of morality that will shape their economy and politics. Free of disease? Do you know the death rates in China? Maybe you don’t know because many deaths are offset by the massive population. Their pollution is one of the worst in the world, they have some of the worst business practices which leads to illness, injury, and death (just read the news). They operate on a single-focused aim to get the job done at whatever cost. Most chinese children were raised this way in America and we (yes we) hate it. It’s too narrow-minded, linear, and task-oriented.
fuck you China. Please support Taiwan’s independence and distinction from that socialist government. We are Taiwan, not Taipei-China. Taiwanese are ethnically Chinese, but operate under a true democracy.
China is the only country continuing the brutal cold war tradition of using the Olympics for nationalistic glory. What they don’t realize is that it makes their country look ridiculous rather than glorious. Such practices made the Olympics cynical and boring during the cold war era when the Soviets and their satellites tortured their children and pumped women full of male hormones in pursuit of “glory”. Hopefully they’ll outgrow such national adolescence.
Must they do that??… If this is the way Determination is gained then,,, that is hard
