("Chen Weihua, China Daily's European Union correspondent, tweeted out a photo last week of a tally showing the United States ahead in the overall medal count—but behind China in gold medals—and said 'U.S. media always finds a way to put [the United States] on top' ") (brackets original).

Note: Chen Weihua 陈卫华's tweet was dated Aug 3, 2021, whose medal counts might be correct at that time.
