China to Host 2026 Commonwealth Games: “We Own So Much of Australia, We Might as Well Host the Games Too!”
In a surprising turn of events, the Chinese government has graciously stepped in to save the day after the Victorian Premier, Dan Andrews, announced that the 2026 Commonwealth Games could no longer be hosted due to funding issues. China, known for its eagerness to invest in various global ventures, has declared that they will proudly host the Games, asserting that they feel like a part of the Commonwealth and it’s only fitting to support their dear comrade Dan in his hour of need.
In a press conference filled with a meticulously choreographed display of synchronised applause, the Chinese officials revealed their motivations behind this unprecedented act of generosity. “We already own so much of Australia,” proclaimed a spokesperson with a benevolent smile, “that we truly feel like a part of the Commonwealth. It’s as if we’ve become honorary members through our extensive investments, especially in Victoria, so why not take up the torch, help Comrade Dan out of a bind and host the Games ourselves?”
The announcement has left many Australians perplexed, to say the least. While some residents expressed gratitude for China’s willingness to step in, others couldn’t help but raise an eyebrow at the implications of the situation. One citizen wondered aloud, “Wait, if they feel like they own so much of Australia, does that mean we’re all secretly Chinese citizens now? Should I start brushing up on my Mandarin?”
Undoubtedly, the Chinese government’s decision has raised concerns about the level of influence they hold in Australia. Critics argue that hosting the Commonwealth Games would only strengthen their grip on the country, while supporters claim that it’s just another example of China’s boundless magnanimity.
