China's 'Morally Bankrupt' Olympics

• The disappearance of tennis star Peng Shuai this month has led many around the world to question the holding of the 2022 Winter Olympics in Beijing. The Games are scheduled to begin February 4.

In fact, as the Communist Party embarked on gaige kaifang—the policy of "reform and opening up"—the regime both moderated its foreign policy and relaxed or eliminated totalitarian social controls. Then, optimism ruled.
