o protest Chinese human rights abuses, the White House confirmed Monday, a move that China has vowed to greet with “firm countermeasures.”
“We have a fundamental commitment to promoting human rights. And we feel strongly in our position and we will continue to take actions to advance human rights in China and beyond,” Psaki added.Biden this week will host a White House Summit for Democracy, a virtual gathering of leaders and civil society experts from more than 100 countries that is set to take place Thursday and Friday.
Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesperson Zhao Lijian accused U.S. politicians of grandstanding over the issue of not sending dignitaries to attend events that China hopes will showcase its economic development and technological prowess. The dispatching of high-level delegations to each Olympics has long been a tradition among the U.S. and other leading nations. Then-President George W. Bush attended the opening of the 2008 Beijing Olympic Summer Games. First lady Jill Biden led the American contingent to the Summer Olympics in Tokyo this year and second gentleman Doug Emhoff led a delegation to the Paralympic Games.
Athletes should boycott the Beijing Olympics and decide on an alternative venue to compete like Lake Tahoe, Fans should boycott all media coverage of Beijing Olympics, now then you would have a protest that will have an effect!
Weak Pooh Bear in his feelings 😂

What if anything significant does that mean? Are we in it are we out. Anything in the middle is just embarrassing nonsense.
Who cares? It’s about the athletes….not aout a bunch of pols/“diplomats” on a boondoggle (at taxpayer expense).
Looks like we’re simply avoiding another uncomfortable Olympics before another world war.
shiroihamusan Boycott Olympics, but send the athlete to China. Is mental problem? Don’t care athletes to be hostage? BoycottBeijing2022
This is a joke. U.S. wasn't invited.
US are not invited , so boycot somewhere you are not invited just look like more stupid 😂
Weren’t invite to the party. But bragging to people that you are not going to the 🎉? 🤣
Join US 🌎🌍🌏
Oh shit hang on guys, the hypocrisy is waist deep in this one.
this is lame. ur diplomats are not invited in the first place. the american regime nowadays can do nth other than pr stunts
The united states is doing the “blame the others for what you are in fact guilty of” . The US is more guilty of human rights violations than many countries combined and its only been here for less than 300 years. Good on china for confronting the US.
When is the last time a diplomat won a medal?
Our athletes are going to be treated like shit.
Do these firm countermeasures include respecting their own citizens?
Like as if it is going to make a difference. If they attend or not. The game will go on.
Bullshit. Full boycott needed.
Countermeasures such as.....
America got a lot of fucking nerve, man.
there'll probably be a CoVid outbreak anyway
Hey Ralph Lauren.....next Olympic outfits... All Winnie the Pooh costumes.
That’s rich! We have no moral authority left especially as Biden continues on with Trump’s immigration horror show.
Don’t punish the Athletes.
Guess they ain’t payin’ Hunter the crack boy anymore. What a farce.
Yet the U.S. still does business with Saudi Arabia, who have been committing non stop human rights abuse in Yemen along with the U.S. hypocrisy
can't beat them economically? play the high moral ground.
Expect no medals for USA, even if they allow US athletes to participate.
Another lab leak in the coming months then 🙄
So I guess I’m buying $RTX $LMT and $NOC 😂
