Had the leverage to really take a stand in this issue, it would have been the ioc. but what did they do? the opposite. they essentially collaborated with the chinese government to provide this proof of life video. not even a video. it was one still image of a video call, but the ioc, and you heard dick in the piece there saying everything is fine, this is okay, shes relaxed. they walked away without any sort of sense she might be speaking under duress. and now the chinese state media blitz again...
