China is a collective culture that places collective needs over individual needs. Seeing how CNT do things from individualistic point of view, some of their actions appear unfair. I'll give you another example of this, every single CNT training facility has huge banners with messages like "National prestige over everything else." CNT players are expected to work hard and still make necessary sacrifices for national prestige.
Despite being an American, I think CNT system makes sense. It's almost like they are incorporating the game theory in the system. It's not just about winning individually, but also about winning as a team.
I am partly taking a jab at someone like Wang Chen (and her supporters) who is not happy with how the next US Olympic team will be selected. Not so much because I don't think she has a point, but because she acts as if the people doing it are inherently corrupt and immoral.
