everything is an insult in the eyes of china except for themselvs.

The picture appears to be of the winning lift. News sites always seem try to show the winning action. China is such a damn snowflake.
HonestCommentFarmer
You have to be to keep an authoritarian grip on your people. No one's ever heard of a successful, tolerant dictator.
PerthAussieMike
To me it shows determination and strength !! Both good characteristics in an Olympic athlete.

Can china just fuck off? Can we just fuck it off, please?

China are simply manufacturing outrage so they justify whatever devious moves they carry out next

CCP news to grow the fuck up.

Hey China.....don't put politics and ideologies before sport!!

China's astronomical inferiority complex is simply amazing, they are Asia's orange cheetos.

Yeah, why don't they smile and look happy when they lift at max effort? /S
reichstein
I know right? Is it really so much to ask? /s
marthafarquar
We wouldn't want to post any unflattering pictures of China, like this Uyghur prison camp
Gosuamakenatek
Rounding up muslums and throwing them into prison camps?? How dare china steal america's idea!
TarrkertheNewt
Real talk, tho. How was that picture even taken?
urakunt
It was in Chinese news and Western news cropped the watermark off.

If they weren't engaged in active genocide and threatening their neighbors, West Taiwan's whining and touchiness would be amusing.

No, but if we acknowledged it, the shareholders might lose some profit ://// /s

Not only genocides, West Taiwan also does massacres, for example Tiananmen square massacre

i don't see someone ugly. i see someone go all out. china gov't have some big issues.

I feel like it's a super common trope that authoritarian regimes only allow themselves to be represented by scary-big smiles.

2/2 subversively phrase your propaganda that shows how hypocritical your nation is without seeming overtly critical.
QuackWok
That's the face of a man staring impossibility in the eye and saying no...fuck you... I WILL do this.
JimboTCB
I was thinking it was more the face of someone trying to lift twice their body weight over their head without blowing out their ringpiece

This was women's weightlifting

I honestly only glanced at the photo... but lol wow I kinda feel like a dick now

Yep, that statement reads as if they think the athlete is actually ugly.

Yeah, definitely an own goal on that

Well Beijing they featured a lipsyncing little girl singing some tradish song while the actual girl singing was off camera as she wasn't 1/2

abobeaver5772
China is very image obsessed. Although, if you don't have strong backing being very attractive is a curse. I've read too many refugee
abobeaver5772
Applications of very attractive young ladies that were passed around by the rich second generations and found only mockery and violence
abobeaver5772
When they reported. I cant imagine the number that don't make it out
BishlamekGurpgork
China enforces their appearance. If you ever watch animation made in China, it's like power-rangers level of "I need to look good while I >
BishlamekGurpgork
save the world, or it isn't worth saving!"
BishlamekGurpgork
(To be fair, I've only watched a couple, though, and only one recently.)
DynamaxAgumon
If you watch pretty much any animated movie on Netflix these days it's from China lol.
5GFPLaqZ4nAy2QwrqOEI
yeah what's with the influx of chinese movies in netflix? i mean nothing against chinese but aren't all chinese companies linked to ccp?
BishlamekGurpgork
Some funded by, but there are a fair number of made-in from China on there now, too.
jennym123
Exactly! He's making a funny face, so what? This is a common sports meme. I'd consider this a badge of honor if it were me.

Oh FFS. I feel silly now :(

Meanwhile on the newspaper owned by CCP:
DracKing
China Daily! Lol and they complained about others
thelaaaaaw
oh so the Chinese Ambassy are also criticizing the Chinese goverment media. That's going to go well for them
gtollie
Exactly .. seems like the Chinese embassy in Sri Lanka wants to make a name for themselves by taking on a western news organization.
Havok707
Double standards are standard operating procedures in any propaganda machine.
MrListerTheFirst
Oh look, they have their facts wrong.
esopillar34
Like, is the difference that you see the barbell, so you can "tell" they're lifting a heavy weight? Maybe the CCP think everyone is stupid.
Euchre
Think? Hope, expect, and prefer to keep everyone stupid, you mean.
DigiT00l
It looks like the same picture
gtollie
C’mon the bar is clearly higher in the 2nd picture. Typical American news organization, always setting the bar too low for the Chinese

Inmate45
She looks like a weightlifter. Like, she's killing it. If they hadn't pointed out it was an 'unflattering' photo I wouldn't have thought it.
FussyZeus
Ya know I was going to make a joke about if women don't look fuckable at all times people won't know they're women but then someone 1/

down below actually commented that and now I'm just depressed. 2/2

yep. thats the face of someone giving their all in my eyes.

That's a she? I wouldn't have guessed.

Quick, everyone downvote the guy who can't correctly identify the gender of someone gurning.
Pimparoo3
The headline saying she won wouldn't give you any hints?
Gleipner
Where does it say she?
Pimparoo3
Yea it doesn't say it, that's my bad, knee jerk reaction to the amount of stupidity here by adding my own.
joshcrimson
The first results I found when looking up winning moments in the Olympics pretty much all show people with some kind of crazy face.
MorrowDisca
BBC sport had a long tradition of showing Premier League footballers in unflattering poses, but it seems to have stopped recently. Shame.

Or they zoom in on someone like Dubrovich as she's crying after losing.

JoJotarot
Anything short of licking xi's toes is """"biased"""" against china.
Selkii
Mmm honey toes
randomwalrus
Anything that is not overwhelmingly complimentary of China, is biased against it. Such is the mind of a fascist demagogue/regime.
braaaiiiiinnnnsss
Wait... Trump says that anything not overwhelmingly complimentary is biased against him. Why do Chinese and Trump have so much in common?

Reuters also doesn't post photos of other lifters doing that on their Twitter. Compare:

AxelBeingCivil
This is Reuters' Twitter. Their tweets about other athletes winning are usually holding their medals or congratulating each other, not (1)
AxelBeingCivil
the actual competition. I'm not a fan of saying this is ugly, but even a cursory glance suggests a difference. (2)
SomeDetroitGuy
Just did a quick look and I saw Ladecky in the pool, US gymnasts on the podium, Biles crying, and a video that was just a series of Osaka
SomeDetroitGuy
disappointed with her surprising loss. Then like a dozen other pics of Biles.
ChainmailleAddict
1/2 Not gonna lie though, they kinda have a point. Whenever I see articles about protesting for human rights, they always make it a point
ChainmailleAddict
to show off pictures of blue-haired androgynous protestors to basically put boomers on high alert. "Those younguns are unreasonable!"
VariableHog
Not sure I follow. What is the point?
ChainmailleAddict
The point is that unflattering pictures are used to sway opinion unfairly by the media, like, all the time

You can’t do that

CCP can go fuck themselves with broken glass and razor blades.

can we start a game where someone says ccp and someone else correctd them saying roc, then they get corrected proc, gproc, ect ect.

Accuse others of that which you are guilty. Sounds familiar.

Fuck the CCP. All my homies hate the CCP.
Avialle
Yea, like 2 countrys with completely biased media fight who's worse. Yea, I know US got 2 opinions instead of 1.
ethannguyen357
I mean, to be fair, western media is generally pretty biased against China. Like we hear all the time about uiyghurs being imprisoned 1/?
ethannguyen357
In China, but we never are never reminded that, despite having less than a quarter the population, the US has more imprisoned people. We 2/3
ethannguyen357
Imprison more black people than the Chinese do Muslims! 3/3

Accuse others of what you are doing is a core rule. It still works.
