Are CCP members continuing to put large sums of money into their personal bank accounts? Nothing else matters. Not household debt, not economic activity, not unemployment, not pollution, not the availability of food, not the demographic crisis, nothing! All hail, the wise and loving leader, ship of Xi Jinping, and the CCP, and all of the money that they are pocketing for themselves!

How likely or unlikely do you think the following sequence of events is:
1. An athlete (minor athlete) says something that offends the CCP and, as the CCP has warned, is arrested.
2. Other athletes from several teams go "on strike" in support of the arrested athlete. The CCP refuses to back down.
3. Whole Olympic teams (smaller ones at first) announce that they are also going on strike. Coverage in the western media begins to focus on this incident and begins to report extensively on the many CCP-caused issues in China such as genocide, organ harvesting, Falun Gong (sp?) repression, real estate defaults, COVID lockdowns, pollution, contaminated food, massive water pollution, coercion of women to have more children, etc.
4. Rather than be seen siding with the despicable CCP regime, other countries announce that they are withdrawing their teams entirely.
5. Major Olympic sponsors begin to withdraw.
6. The US and many Western European countries withdraw their teams after the teams vote in favor of it.
7. The games collapse.
8. Months from now it is widely reported that the event that started the collapse - the arrest of the first athlete - was probably the work of anti-Xi elements in the CCP.

The "cheap" shot at Tony is both a criticism and a warning.
In my opinion, Tony's videos could better be done outside of China where he could provide more thorough analysis without fear of CCP reprisals. All of the sources that he quotes are publicly available and he does not, of course, quote any Chinese CCP or business insiders to avoid inevitable and severe CCP crackdowns.
Though Tony is, of course, not a Lord Haw Haw (an Englishman who broadcast Nazi propaganda throughout WWII and who was arrested, tried, and hung by the British after the war ended), I am afraid that he will likely face very pointed questions and possibly penalties by both sides in the event of a dramatic increase in tensions such as a CCP attack on Taiwan or more devastating news coming out about high-level New Zealand or Australian politicians or business leaders receiving CCP bribes. On the CCP side, Tony could be arrested al any moment and held in prison for years as a bargaining chip as was done to an Australian journalist who was only recently released by the CCP after 3 years in prison. On the Western side, Tony may face charges that he helped the CCP to identify and make contact with the politicians or business leaders who are found guilty of receiving CCP bribes.
Tony is a nice guy that I don't want to see any harm come to. But Tony has put himself in a very precarious position that could blow up in his face at any time for, as far as I can see, very little personal or professional benefit.
