No. Your logic is terrible. One example of one way to succeed is not preclusion of any other ways to succeed. That is a tragically bad argument.The NBA example shows the KHL as well as rest of hockey why it will never make it in China. Because the demand has to exist first and the supply can follow only after. Trying to push supply without any demand is not going to magically produce success.
Hmmm so they put some moderate effort into an opening. It didnt pay off immediately. So of course they must give up right? For like the nth time. Companies are not short sighted like you. They routinely run ventures, if not the entire company, in the red perpetually. Against which this is nothing.Kunlun was promoted hard initially, it did nothing to prevent them from going only downhill. There's not going to be an attempt with better resources than what they had. Likewise if the Chinese were going to establish an ice hockey league it would have been before these Olympics, and it didn't happen.
Also a chinese league has never been the goal, it's just something you, one person incessantly whines about.
This argument is so bad. So the government endorses every statement they dont explicitly censure? Even DMs? I dont even know if you comprehend what you're trying to say. Just because the government censures some statements doesnt mean that it endorses every statement it doesnt censure, even DMs. This is true for no government in the world.The government is tolerating such hate speech against athletes while dissidents are shut down immediately. Discussing tennis was quickly blocked altogether after the now-prominent sexual assault accusations were made. Even related emoji are often removed from use. It's actually a very interesting first-hand experience, trying to write something that only disappears when you press send.
I already mentioned the coronavirus response as something they do care about. You know something they don't care about? A hockey game. And no, some euro bloggers writing condescending remarks changes nothing. No one is embarrassed about something they don't care about. Of all the things the chinese government does care about, this is not one of them. This is almost a perfect example of something they dont care about. And you insisting that it is, does not make it so.It's enough for the Olympic team to become an embarrassment. And that's not only dictated by domestic narratives, but also by foreign coverage. 'A hockey fiasco' or 'A massacre on ice' are not the type of headlines these games are meant to produce around the world. The athletes can return to Canada and stay there for the rest of their lives if they so wish, but officials deemed responsible for the failure will take the fall. Of course it's not inevitable that things go wrong, but as anyone saw with Wuhan, officials at all levels tend to prefer to be safe than sorry when it comes to covering their own asses.
You cant even find evidence that MPS officials are sacked when China, as routinely does, underperforms in sports they heavily invest in. Much less one they invested minimally in. Your entire premise relies on Chinese people and the government being irrational and irrationally fragile. And while it's easy to stereotype people you don't know, and Chinese people do it to westerners as well, it doesn't make your assumptions correct.
