On Monday, the United States government announced an official diplomatic boycott of the Beijing Winter Olympics in response to human rights violations committed by the Chinese Communist Party. White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki made the announcement during her Monday appearance before the White House pool.
“The Biden administration will not send any diplomatic or official representation to the Beijing 2022 Winter Olympics and Paralympic Games, given the PRC’s ongoing genocide and crimes against humanity,” Psaki told media.

Now if we could just get Americans to boycott Chinese slave-labor crap, we’d really have something!
The athletes should boycott the games too. They seem to, in general, have no problem being “woke” so have some actual spine and stand up against the atrocities in China. The entire free world needs to do likewise….plus it would be a good idea to cut off all free world trade with China and for countries to pull all their manufacturing etc. out of the country.
Beware being tolerant of tolerance. AlphaWolf
