It's almost like people cheer for the country they live in.

Did you just look at the pictures or did you actually read the text? It's not about who gets cheered for and who doesn't. The issue is people (in the US) saying it's not possible that a Chinese athlete did that and that he somehow cheated, which is not only childish and cringe, but extremely hypocritical given the context.

Oh, the bottom text is cut off in the thumbnail on my app. That makes a lot more sense.
