I recall quite well that, ahead of the Beijing 2022 Olympics, the organizing committee explicitly threatened to investigate athletes' speech and also hid comments discussing human rights in its replies on Twitter. Hiding and censoring speech is explicitly political, not apolitical as they'd like to claim. https://www.scmp.com/news/china/diplomacy/article/3219705/china-tells-international-olympic-committee-concerns-about-politicising-sport\n\nhttps://mastodon.ngo/system/media_attachments/files/110/334/096/053/416/677/original/e51cac00af99f014.png",
