Jen Saki Mi White House Spokesman
The United States and China are in a fierce battle over whether to participate in the 2022 Beijing Winter Olympics.
White House spokesman Jen Saki said at a briefing on the 25th local time when asked about participation in the Beijing Winter Olympics, “the final decision has not been made.” “We will seek guidance from the US Olympic Committee.”
This is a remark that implies that the United States may boycott the Beijing Olympics, and it is interpreted as a change of position compared to what the Biden administration has revealed that there is no discussion on the’bicott theory’.
Some Republican senators, including Rick Scott, recently submitted a resolution to withdraw the Beijing Winter Olympics, saying they should reselect the venue for the Winter Olympics due to the massacre of the Uighurs in Xinjiang, the suppression of Hong Kong, and the threat of Taiwan.
A coalition of 180 human rights groups, including former United Nations ambassador Nikki Haley, who is considered the next presidential candidate, and the World Uighur Conference and the International Tibet Network, are also calling for a boycott of the Beijing Winter Olympics.

In response to this, the Chinese government strongly protested that Western countries such as the United States “politicize sports,” saying that the claim about height is false.
Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesman Zhao Lijian pointed out that “some Western countries are trying to interfere with China’s internal affairs and destroy China’s development under the pretext of Xinjiang’s human rights.” .
Currently, China is working hard to secure support to developing countries such as Africa with economic support and corona 19 vaccine support.
