“#China boosts Olympic gold medal count with Taiwan, Hong Kong<\/strong>”<\/p>\n

\n

The Olympics may be over, but Chinese state media<\/a> is still going for the gold. <\/p>\n

One of the communist country\u2019s official outlets found a way to boost its nation\u2019s second-place medal haul ahead of the leading United States, by including the medals won by Taiwan and Hong Kong in the tally, according to reports.<\/p>\n

China Central Television listed the nation as having 42 gold medals under their inflated and inaccurate count, three ahead of the 39 that the US took home, and four more than China alone really took home, the Free Beacon reported<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The graphic circulated on Weibo, a local social media platform, according to the outlet.<\/p>\n

The US also beat China in the other medal counts by winning 41 silvers to 32, 33 bronzes to 18, and an overall tally of 113 to 88.<\/p>\n

In addition to the news<\/a> outlet, some Chinese social media users also clumped Taiwan, Hong Kong and Macau on Weibo to give the enlarged \u201cChina\u201d 42 golds, 37 silvers and 27 bronzes for a total count of 110, the Taiwan News reported<\/a>.<\/p>\n
