He added that “interfering and manipulating information” is not coming from Russia only but from some other countries, too, which he did not name.

One of the main culprits are the Chinese! Usual suspects!

They are still upset because the US had more medals and especially more gold medals in the last Olympics.

They were so upset that after the Olympics, the Chinese government newspapers started telling the Chinese people actual one more gold medals because all of Hong Kong's and Taiwan medals belong to China, too!

They wanted to distract population from COVID-19 that was wrecking havoc on the world at the time; the rest of the world knows the truth!

Nauru has a history of spying. It would not surprise me of it was Nauru. Spying has no place in international sport. It does not promote fellowship and seldom works in securing more trips to the podium.

LOL The article didn't even mention China but the China haters feel the need to flap their keyboard gums. France and China are on relatively good terms.

I hope for a peaceful Games (that I will not be watching) but given the current state of tensions around the world I am nervous.

When you say you will "boycott" the Olympics what does that mean? You just won't watch.

The usual anti China crowd were fast to their keyboards.

France will have a very large list of people with "problematic views" involving peace, security and a certain religion.

I wonder how many of those spies were American. The European politicians are fully aware even they're spied upon by America.
