Must we tolerate the unsportsmanlike behavior of Chinese athletes in international sports competitions?

The unsportsmanlike conduct of Chinese athletes has crossed the line in recent international sports competitions, including the 2024 Paris Olympics.

Dirty tricks and unsportsmanlike behavior
Chinese athletes frequently display unsportsmanlike behavior that deviates from the spirit of sports, such as intentional fouls against opponents, unsportsmanlike actions that disrupt the flow of the game, and excessive protests against referee decisions. This behavior is too serious to be dismissed as merely an individual's problem, and it is a clear violation of international sportsmanship.

The importance of sportsmanship and fair play
Sports are activities in which victory or defeat is determined through fair competition. Actions that do not choose means and methods for victory are contrary to the spirit of sports. In international sports competitions, not only the skills of the athletes but also the spirit of fair play are important evaluation factors. Unsportsmanlike behavior undermines the fundamental values of sports and destroys respect and trust between athletes.

The response of the international community
The international community must respond decisively to the unsportsmanlike behavior of Chinese athletes. International sports federations should strengthen relevant regulations and impose strong sanctions, such as suspension from competition, on athletes who engage in unsportsmanlike behavior. In addition, each national team should legitimately protest against the unsportsmanlike behavior of Chinese athletes and raise the issue to the international community.

The importance of sports diplomacy
Sports are an important means of promoting friendship between countries and 활성화 cultural exchange. However, the unsportsmanlike behavior of Chinese athletes worsens relations between countries and tarnishes the meaning of sports diplomacy. The Chinese government must take responsibility for the unsportsmanlike behavior of its athletes and make active efforts to prevent recurrence.   

Conclusion
We must no longer tolerate the outrageous behavior of Chinese athletes who consistently engage in unsportsmanlike behavior in international sports competitions. The international community must respond decisively to all acts that undermine sportsmanship and fair play. Sports have an important value beyond mere competition, promoting friendship and cooperation between countries. The unsportsmanlike behavior of Chinese athletes is a clear mistake that undermines these values and must be eradicated.
