Chinese Communist Party(CCP) officials are livid over NBC’s use of an “incomplete” map of China during the opening ceremony of the 2020 Tokyo Olympic Games.
CCP officials were upset that Taiwan and territory in the South China Sea were not recognized as being part of China on NBC’s map. These two locations are disputed areas, many members of the international community do not recognize these areas as being a part of China.
From The Daily Caller:
As Chinese athletes entered the Olympic Stadium in Tokyo, the NBC broadcast displayed a map of China that did not include Taiwan or the South China Sea as recognized parts of Chinese territory. The CCP considers both territories to be a rightful part of their country, despite that claim being disputed by various members of the international community.

China’s consulate in New York said NBC “hurt the dignity and emotions of the Chinese people” in a social media post Saturday. “We urge NBC to recognize the serious nature of this problem and take measures to correct the error,” the statement continued.
Using a wrong map of #China is a real lack of common sense. Politicizing sports and violating the Olympics Charter spirits will only do harm to the #Olympics Games and the relationship between the #Chinese and the #US people. @NBCSports @SavannahGuthrie pic.twitter.com/sP6AGRXLZI

Chinese state-run media outlet Global Times also blasted NBC for the graphic, characterizing it as a “dirty political trick.” (RELATED: US Drops Charges Against Researchers Accused Of Hiding Affiliation With Chinese Military)
Taiwanese athletes at the Olympic Games do not compete under the Chinese flag, instead competing under the banner of Chinese Taipei. China, Brunei, Taiwan, Indonesia, Malaysia, the Philippines and Vietnam are all involved in various territorial disputes in the South China Sea.
The Chicoms are really feeling their oats these days thanks to the pitiful specter of Joe Biden hidin’ from his duties and afraid to cross his Chinese masters. It looks like we are in for a world of Guano.
The CCP has adopted a “Whole of government” approach, which only Democrats are willing to employ in the USA. Now CCP operatives have solid real estate both as titular owners of legal corporations, lands, jurors and constituents, but also as an ideological front and as share holders in major corporations. Specifically, broadcast media corporations.
It has been a curious thing to observe the CCP contributing to Universities, Media Corporations and Political Campaigns over the last 15 years. Very curious indeed.
CCP thinks the world belongs to only them. Is this born of ‘belief’?
CCP thinks the WORLD belongs to them only!! Is this notion born of ‘belief’??!!!
