The Speaker of the House said heads of state should not attend the Games due to human rights abuses.

Ms Pelosi, a Democrat, told a bipartisan congressional hearing on the issue that heads of state around the world should boycott the Winter Olympics, which are to take place in February."For heads of state to go to China in light of a genocide that is ongoing - while you're sitting there in your seat - really begs the question, what moral authority do you have to speak again about human rights any place in the world?" she said.

In response, Liu Pengyu, a spokesman for the Chinese embassy in Washington, was scathing of Ms Pelosi's proposal. "I wonder what makes some US politicians think they actually have the so-called 'moral authority'? On human rights issues, they are in no position, either historically or currently, to make wanton groundless criticism against China," Mr Liu told the Reuters news agency.The Chinese government has been accused of carrying out forced sterilisations on Uighur women and separating children from their families.

The country initially denied the existence of the camps, before defending them as a necessary measure against terrorism. It has denied allegations of human rights abuses.

I'd imagine that China might cancel it themselves since the rest of the world seems to be struggling with controlling COVID.

The war criminals must be scared of China.

Oh dear. Was she not offered free tickets and hotel suites?

Tell her to shut up, time for her to retire!

How does the USA expect to get China to end racial/Islamaphobic oppression and imprisonment, when the USA has the worlds largest prison population and racially oppressive 'justice' system? The Olympics are not supposed to be about politics

Impossible. JapanGov Busted. SenTedCruz HouseFloor AOC is antisemitic, gang of 8. 8, is an code symbol. It sideways, the figure 8 is a sign of Infinity. Cultists put the 8 to a anti-wind for Any kinds of peace or diplomacy. Weathermen 1968 woodstockfest latimes

Now all the trumpers are going to act like the Olympics are the most important things in their lives. But then when asked they couldn't name 8 events. Uhh, bobsled, skiing, skating, hockey, .. uhh more skating and more skiing, uhh bobsled jumping?

Today, somewhere on the planet, a government kills the historical inhabitants of a land, imprisons them without trial, and in broad daylight tells the people: You have until Friday to leave your home and to those of us who Let's say deliver. GazaUnderAttack
