However, some media found that the labels of the uniform were written in the words "made in China", which immediately caused an uproar in the United States.

According to a report by Fawkes news network, "the Olympic Games have not even started yet. China has won the gold medal from the United States - by making the uniform that the US team will wear during the opening ceremony."

On the 12 th, some members of Congress also criticized this. Among them, Senate majority leader Reed was the most intense.

He said at a press conference: "I think the Olympic Committee of the United States should be ashamed of themselves!

I think they should take back all their uniforms, pile them up and burn them up and start over. "

"I hope they wear only

In the US, we also have people who are eager to get these jobs in the textile industry.

"And the spirit of sports without borders" runs counter to the fact that the politicization of Olympic costumes is rather laughable.

Paul Whitefield, a commentators of the Losangeles times, published an article on the same day, saying that Reed's remarks were merely "posing", and suggested that this was related to the recent debate between the two party presidential candidates about "outsourcing".
