China aims for 'Zero COVID' Olympics

China aims for 'Zero COVID' Olympics
mm. Okay. The Biden administration will not send any diplomatic or official representation to the Beijing 2022 Winter Olympics and Paralympic Games. Given the pr scenes ongoing genocide and crimes against humanity and Xinjiang and other human rights abuses. The athletes on team usa have our full support. We'll be behind them 100% as we cheer them on from home. We will not be contributing to the fanfare of the Games. Us diplomatic or official representation would treat these games as business as usual in the face of the P. R. C. S. Egregious human rights abuses and atrocities in Xinjiang. And we simply can't do that as a diplomatic boycott enough. Given the human rights abuses everybody can call it whatever they want to call it. I would just remind you that often when you use diplomatic boycott that phrase uh that brings people back to 1980 we are not, the athletes will be participating. We will be rooting for the athletes from home. I am an olympics obsessed person so I'm looking forward to doing that. But I think this is just an indication that it cannot be business as usual. That not sending a diplomatic delegation sends that message. That does not mean I think this was your question just to come back to it that we are that is the end of the concerns we will raise about human rights abuses in Xinjiang. We've already taken a number of steps. We've been a leader in the world And leading actions through the G-7 were obviously also working with Congress. But this is just sending a message that, given these human rights abuses, we cannot proceed with business. As usual. Why not pull American athletes from the Olympic? I don't think that uh, we felt it was uh it was the right step to penalize athletes who have been training preparing for this moment, and we felt that we could send a clear message by uh, by not sending a an official U. S. Delegation.
