wtf is with the CPTPP… are they really aggregating 11 countries engaged in a trade agreement in a single entry?
“You know our blockahd is perfectry reegar.”
Ranking trade agreements according to how many medals the member countries win is some serious
shithow long until we see medals per capita
Or they start doing something like “multiply your medal count by your Freedom IndexTM and that’s your true result”
Medals per unit of GDP, adjusted to current Bitcoin price
Whats CPTPP?
Comprehensive and Progressive Agreement for Trans-Pacific Partnership - a trade agreement between Australia, Brunei, Canada, Chile, Japan, Malaysia, Mexico, New Zealand, Peru, Singapore, and Vietnam

yup
Lmao what the fuck is that
Holy shit, Hong Kong has its own national Olympic team? What in the actual fuck?!
I think it’s a holdover from the British colonial days. Puerto Rico has one too.
I keep forgetting that a lot of people on the internet were too young to remember/not born around the time of the handover in 1997.
My anime poisoned brain always remembers Neo-Hong Kong being the host country for the Gundam Fight tournament lol.
I think part of it is, in table tennis China is so dominant that it allows more Chinese competitors. I don’t think HK competes in anything else. It’s like if they allowed Texas to compete as its own country in flag football (yes, that will be an Olympic event in 2028).
CPTPP and EU is ridiculous. There are a bunch of non-countries, pseudo-countries, and countries under “free association” participating though so IDK why you’re circling Hong Kong when you could also be questioning all of these:
- American Samoa
- Aruba
- Bermuda
- British Virgin Islands
- Cayman Islands
- Chinese Taipei
- Cook Islands
- Federated States of Micronesia
- Guam
- Hong Kong, China
- Individual Neutral Athletes (AKA a handful of Russians and Belarusians)
- Marshall Islands
- Palau
- Refugee Olympic Team
and maybe more that I missed.
I don’t think this is right, US is currently in the lead with total medals. China leads with gold. Here’s official rankings
Presumably correct at time of publication. All the medal counts have changed since.
The US is in the lead at not being first, while china has the most wins
