U.S. officials said earlier this week that they would consult with allies on how to best handle the upcoming games, amid concerns that China is committing human rights abuses against Uyghur Muslims, Tibetans and citizens of Hong Kong.

"Part of our review of those Olympics and our thinking will involve close consultations with partners and allies around the world," U.S. Department of State spokesperson Ned Price said on Tuesday.

Price added Tuesday that the games, which are set to kick off in Beijing in February 2022, are still too far away for the U.S. to have an official stance. But on Wednesday, Chinese foreign ministry spokesperson Zhao Lijian warned there would be some sort of"robust response" if the U.S. decided to boycott, and denied all accusations that China is committing abuses against ethnic minorities.
