No ch0nese team will get out of groups. You can cry, you can throw, you can puke all ya want but it won't change anything
this is true
however, id like to add that the US' best events come later in the Olympics (track, basketball notably)
additionally, China has over a 4.2x population than the US, and the US has proven to be on top both in medals and golds for the past few Olympics except 2008, where China takes the dub. (1996, 2000, 2004, 2012, 2016, 2020)
furthermore, the US actually doesn't really give as much incentives to its medalists compared to China (which are unknown and not shown to the public), but Chinese medalists receive massive bonuses from sports bureaus and enterprises, not to mention the sweet extras from large-scale companies.
props to China though, they're slowly investing more and more into every Olympics
