If the Old Limp Pig thinks India can host the Olympics, it would not be pestering China to submit bids to host the 2036 event. China said no, thank you, to the offer. Now Qatar, India and Saudi Arabia are the main countries bidding for it. Let us see what happens. India submitted bids to host the Olympics three times, including that of 2036.
India thinks it could do better than Japan, with the Indian media criticizing Japan for failures hosting the Asian Games 2026. During the 2026 BWF world championship held in India, bird droppings were landing on the courts. Outside the venue, piles of rubbish could be seen. India is not in any position to hold any sports event. Infrastructure is lacking, transport system sucks, rivers for holding events are polluted, organization effort is lacking.
What is India trying to show off by bidding to stage the Olympics. Oh, India wants to be one up against China for having held the Olympics twice, the 2008 summer Olympics and the 2022 winter Olympics. Both with resounding success and no brickbats like against Japan.
But China does not need to promote itself anymore. The whole world has seen China in the flesh - its infrastructures, its organization skills, its people's living condition and its millions of people coming together to volunteer at those events. It shows the extent of patriotism that the Chinese people are showing towards the CPC Government. The West must be joking thinking of a initiating a regime change in China.

Protests are erupting everywhere all because of the problems created by Trump and his wars resulting in escalating energy costs. There were huge protests in France over rising living costs. The Indians are protesting over corrupt practices by Government officials, jobs availability and cost of living. The Indonesians are protesting against corruption within the government, rising cost of living due to the falling rupiah and the removal of Prabowo over his policies. Who is next?
ReplyDeleteThailand is experiencing fallouts in tourism and those sectors involved in tourism are suffering falling visitors. Hotels are running empty, entertainment outlets are not attracting enough visitors and those that depend on foreign tourists are facing problems earning a living. Even Thailand's well renowned honey trapping of money loaded foreign retirees rushing to set up second homes in Thailand to be skinned have peltered out. Many are leaving rather than coming in. I think they have wised up learning from those who fled with just their pants on.
Sad to say, even Bali, the visitor's paradise before COVID, is now a pale shadow of its glory days, the must visit destination for the well-heeled rich spenders. Today, Bali attracts the wrong kind of visitors looking for a budget holiday without the usual spending ability.
As they always say, all good things must come to an end and what goes up will eventually come down.
Actually, hosting the Olympics is throwing good money after bad, with the benefit accruing mainly to the Old Lame Pig body. The same can be said about holding F1 and World Cup. The hosting country has to foot the bill of building infrastructures, do the dirty work organizing while the Old Lame Pigs, F1 and World Cup bodies just sit around to collect money falling from the sky.
ReplyDeleteIndia wants to host the Olympics for vanity reasons, not that is has any clue going about it.
