China's vice-foreign minister has urged against political boycotts of the upcoming Beijing Winter Olympics, saying it harms the interests of athletes and was “unpopular”.

Beijing has urged US business groups with interests in China to “speak out” and lobby the US government in its defence, warning that as bilateral relations deteriorate they cannot make money “in silence”.

Key business groups including the American Chamber of Commerce in Shanghai and the US-China Business Council, met Xie at a virtual forum on Tuesday, according to a transcript of his address.

Xie praised the recent meeting between the US president, Joe Biden, and China’s leader, Xi Jinping, in seeking to restore the relationship, and said that when bilateral relations were good, economic and trade cooperation was smoother. Beijing has rejected claims it is abusing human rights. Several world governments and human rights groups have declared the systematic oppression of Uyghurs in Xinjiang to be a genocide, or crimes against humanity. Beijing has also been sanctioned over its intervention in Hong Kong and crackdown in Tibet, and criticised for its aggression towards Taiwan.

Pledges by governments to cut carbon dioxide and methane emissions are currently insufficient to limit global warming to an international target of 1.5C above pre-industrial levels this century, he said. 'And that means you have China, India, Russia, Brazil, Mexico, Indonesia, South Africa, a group of countries that are going to have to step up,' Kerry said in an interview at the Reuters Next conference.
