It didn't say she was fat, just that she was comparatively ugly. You can't fight the Politburo.

Frankly even if the real singer was the girl chosen she should have lip synced it to a studio recorded song. Live microphone singing usually sounds bad, especially when the person doing it doesn't have a lot of experience.

All I'm saying is a country with 1.3 billion people could have found a little girl who was both cute and could sing.

Maybe not. Toby Ziegler covers this in the West Wing. He says that people have asked him the question: "You can only find one African American speech writer good enough to work at the White House?" and he responds by saying that he's amazed that he found that many, because good enough to work at the White House is such a high standard.

China has four times the population of the US. Consequently, they should have found at least four little girls who can sing well, one of whom may have been cute enough to show to the public.

They probably spent all their time jailing dissidents instead of looking for the little girl.

Or killing monks, or running people over with tanks.

Or making delicious rice.
