This some sense, but not that much sense - it doesn’t matter if your country has a hundred thousand people or a billion, there’s only so many events, and a maximum number of athletes per country per event that can be sent. Sure, a larger population increases the chances that a talent can be identified and trained, but peak human performance only has so much variance.

I’m pretty sure it’s to increase engagement and allow the post to be seen by more eyes until it reaches someone who can help.

Honestly? A major breakthrough in fusion, or to a lesser extent, any other clean energy. We’ve decarbonised a decent chunk of the world’s energy profile, but there’s a strong financial incentive that politicians are vulnerable to protecting oil and gas, slowing down further decarbonisation. Batteries and supercapacitors also could do the trick.

China never will lol, they’re suppressing wage growth in the middle and lower classes to find businesses and corporations. The capitalist infection has spread to ‘socialist’ countries too, unfortunately.
