Posted on 31st Dec 2021 by rohit kumar

On November 1, the US had dealt a big blow to China by announcing the boycott of the Winter Olympic Games to be held in China. The Biden administration of America has announced that US officials will not participate in the Winter Games to be held in Beijing city of China in the year 2022. The US has made this announcement at a time when China has vowed that it will retaliate against such a diplomatic boycott. Earlier last month, US President Joe Biden said he was considering a diplomatic boycott of the Games in protest of China's human rights record.

 

America is doing politics in sports alleging China

 

Earlier, China had condemned President Biden, saying that Washington was trying to politicize the international sporting event. Earlier, after the online summit between Biden and Xi Jinping, the two leaders said that they should respect each other and coexist peacefully. Let us tell you that China is making great preparations to host the Winter Olympic Games to be held in February next year.

 

Will affect the grandeur of the Winter Olympic Games

 

A diplomatic boycott by the US and its allies could affect the grandeur of the Winter Olympic Games, as their official delegation on human rights issues will be absent. America's announcement of this boycott will not stop its players from participating in the games. America is going to organize the Olympics in Los Angeles in the year 2028. After this announcement, the question has now arisen as to how China will respond to America. China claims it opposes the politicization of sport, but it has punished American sports federations.

 

China accused of human rights abuses

 

The US and European Union countries have accused China of widespread human rights violations against Uighur Muslims in Xinjiang. Not only this, but he is also a big critic of the human rights situation in Hong Kong and Tibet. China's Foreign Ministry spokesman Zhao Lijian said recently that I want to emphasize that the issue of Xinjiang is completely China's internal matter, in which no foreign interference will be accepted in any way.

 

China said America's allegations baseless

 

On this move of America, China had said that America made false allegations against China about the so-called bonded labor and genocide. He said other allegations made by the Biden administration are baseless. He said that I would like to emphasize that the Winter Paralympic and Olympic Games are a platform for sports for sportspersons from all over the world. Its politicization will only harm the interests of the Olympic movement and all athletes, the spokesman said. We are confident that with joint efforts, we will surely present to the world an orderly, luxurious, and safe sport and take the Olympic Games forward.
