Huh? No, Cosport is not the only source of tickets for the non-Chinese. The UK, much of Europe, Oceania have to get official tickets through Sportsworld (UK-based company) and most other countries through a designated travel agent in their own country, or their National Olympic Committee. Unless they are overseas residents in a Cosport country, most Chinese wouldn't have the ability to order through the site anyway, as payment would be a problem.

No, I think the problem is Cosport's inadequate servers and an ordering system that funnelled all Cosport users to one central order and processing system, instead of separating out countries (or at least the biggest, the USA) into different systems on different servers. This was also a problem in Phase 2 online sales, you'd think they'd have fixed the problem in the last 4 months. But I've always suspected the supposedly separate ticket allocations for each country were actually being pooled by Cosport, so we were all scrambling for the same tickets--otherwise, why would handball on the USA event page be selling equally quickly as on the Bulgarian page, or why baseball on the Bulgarian page is selling equally to that on the USA page, etc etc. This would also explain Cosport's real lack of separation and diversion of the online traffic into different streams.

It's also possible the site was being mass-accessed by reps/buyers for the secondary ticket brokers, as well as by those trying to actually attend the Games.
