Zheng and Chen's paper is soooooooooo gooooddddd, it's incredibly well written and I referenced their work so much for this video. Despite being written in 2016, so much of Zheng and Chen's observations of China's strategies have 'come true' in the 2024 Olympics when I was matching their theory with the results we saw. I would highly recommend checking their paper out!
