The Chinese government responded with swift condemnation of President Joe Biden's decision -- saying the Olympics shouldn't be"a stage for political shows" and warning of"resolute countermeasures." "The athletes on Team USA have our full support. We will be behind them 100 percent, as we cheer them on from home," said White House press secretary Jen Psaki, but the administration didn't think"it was the right step to penalize athletes who have been training, preparing for this moment.
Beijing has repeatedly blasted any talk of a boycott, denouncing it as an affront to the"Olympic spirit" while denying any wrongdoing in its human rights record.
A great ally.
Expected since Aussie wants to have the nuclear submarine
. Beijing next victory for China. The International Olympic Committee kneels down to China. Games of Shame?❗️❗️ IO Beijing China China COVID19 Ujgurzy sport policy business money Tybet Olympics
That fellow down under has spoken.
Australia is the vassal of the United States. It's wasn't a surprise.
Right. There's discussion about tributary state, what was it about?
danielle_binks Kiss a55 scomo
The dog has spoken lol but Beijing doesn’t give a f***
Check online: Australia is a nation of incestuous habits, child abuse and paedophilia.
ScottyTheAnnouncer announced that we are in lockstep with the USA - the the reliable, subservient “partner” they expect us to be. Olympics auspol
The reality is that everyone should avoid competition because the risks outweigh the benefits of both glory and economic spillover.
What else to expect from Scott Morrison Australian government as a dog of U.S no neutrality or sovereignty even small country as Barbados has now own sovereignty as Republic not as Australia servant of U. K and dying royalty.
Hypocritical 🇦🇺 breaking human rights of her own citizens nowadays but finding fault with China!
Australia not good at winter sports anyway, and it will kiss ass of us.
So Australia is letting their people out of their house so they can go to China? 1st, how have any of the athletes in Australia been able to train under the authoritarian rule of Australia, and when the athletes return, I’d hate to see what type of quarantine they will be facing.
Bravo!
Great move. Let's hope many others follow suit. Surely China will retaliate like they did with Canada. But they can't jail people from everywhere claiming they are spies.
China even didn’t answer Australia’s phone calls, how could they invite Australian politicians to Beijing😂
That's pretty funny, considering that Australia is imprisoning its own citizens without warning or recourse simply because they aren't vaccinated.
Sorry, but how to boycott a game that you have never been invited? BoycottBeijingOlympics
Athletes will still be there
it wasn't hard to do as China had literally boycotted dealing with the LNP for the last 2 years, he makes it sound like he decided over human rights and not that his Govt. is continually snubbed by China
The last time I checked Aussies economy was heading in the negative!
Terrible!
Wow.
Muhammad Qasim has seen that Allah will convey the news of his dreams to the Army chief of Pakistan, and Prophet Muhammad SAW will also give him witness that Qasim’s dreams are true. Why are these dreams important for the future?
Pathetic. Scott desperately looking for diversions
Who cares? Don’t send the athletes. Send a real message. Oh wait they are also in the pockets of the CPP.
NewsRadio You’re on air story recounting this event was misleading. You only quoted the tweet from Monday saying that no one would really care whether these officials attended the Olympics or not. That is untrue and you should be ashamed of the edit.
China Never Boycott the 1984 LA Olympics Japan Doesn't Cancel USA team during the Tokyo 1964 Olympics Seriously , Why USA should turn the athletic event to some political mongering debate event Damn !
JoeBiden can not even handle questions from the press, after the Afghanistan fiasco, Putin and Xi smell the weakness. It will not go well for the US, Ukraine, or Taiwan. ImpeachBiden
China’s not changing lol
This is like the biggest opportunity I had in making money from the comfort of the home, gratitude to Geoffreypreud this is really amazing..... I'm counting the racks like never before about $15,800. I think my job is actually a waste of time. Thank you Mr Geoffrey send a DM
oh no..china will never recover from this! POTUS doing the absolute minimum possible ..if he cared at all about chinas abuses he would stop bowing down and kissing their ass..
Interesting.....how many if these individuals take contributions via lobbyists from these collaborative investments....you will.take their money to sell out your people, but fear being part of the show yourselves
This is comical. Coming from a country that had a Chinese style lockdown that destroyed thousands of buinesses and is now trying to mandate vaccines and some states issuing movement licenses.
Doesn’t do a damn thing
Politics and the Olympics should NEVER be mixed. We allow athletes who trained all their lives to compete in the pinnacle of contests to be the best in the world. And we decided to talk about other country's laws. Will it bring change or just cheat athletes?
The IOC claimed “bringing sports to authoritarian regimes would liberalize them and improve democratic rights.” All its achieved has been to make IOC members more wealthy as they corruptly take money to help use the Olympics to whitewash despotic leaders human rights abuses
Great News at last the USA standing up to World Bully Bots China and Russia
But sending athletes. Shame the politicians aren’t getting a vacation.
