Apparently it's because the badminton now has a group stage rather than being straight knock out. So these 2 teams who were both already through were trying to lose in order to avoid some heavily favoured chinese pair in the knockout stage.

Why couldnt they just be given a final warning? Theyve cheapened the medals now.

Apparently the longest rally in the China-Korea game was 4 shots. They didn't even try to be subtle about it

Tbf, they've stopped it from ever happening again, which I assume was the point.
