Psaki said the administration was sending a"clear message" that the human rights abuses in China mean there cannot be"business as usual.""The Biden administration will not send any diplomatic or official representation to the Beijing 2022 Winter Olympics and Paralympics games given the PRC's ongoing genocide and crimes against humanity in Xinjiang," Psaki said in the press briefing Monday.
""US diplomatic or official representation would treat these games as business as usual in the face of the PRC's egregious human rights abuses and atrocities in Xinjiang, and we simply can't do that," Psaki said.Read MorePsaki said that the diplomatic boycott of the games does not mean"that is the end of the concerns we will raise about human rights abuses.
Nothing will make China change their ways like not sending the secretary of environmental protection to the Olympics.
what event do the diplomats partake in--
👎🏼🤡
China doesn't care. Other countries will participate and thats good enough
Good!!! What was the purpose of sending diplomats to watch the Olympics on our dime?
But they will be going to the 'Submit to our Degeneracy', oops, sorry, typo, 'Summit for Democracy' Pot-Luck and photo op.
China should deport any American and Aussie diplomats who show up in Beijing during the Olympics.
I hope our gutless prime minister Trudeau boycotts these games also, if not then all he has said is just being hypocritical.
The RIGHT thing to do would be to impose harsh sanctions on China as the World did to South Africa during the apartheid era, but no Western leader has the balls to do that! The crimes against Chinese citizens is far worse than what happened in South Africa!
Cowards, Senile, Indecent Accusations. Our 80 years of Glorious Diplomacy Success now is being turn into three stooges comedy. Joke of the Century, almost Racially biased. What a shame.
TREE PAINE?
Fascist is as fascist does... China, Xi Jinping, is flirting with and deserves a full boycott but that would be unfair, punitive, to our Olympic athletes.
In China only 40,000 recovered from covid vs 39,000,000 in US. Of course it's not safe in China. beijing covid Olympics

That is great actions & dictation that the civilised-nation should follow American . China needs lessons to learn
What about athletes? Is USA afraid of brutal communist regime to completely withdraw its participation?
😂😂😂I told you, weak. 😂😂😂💪🇺🇲✌️
Lol. No US diplomats was invited to start with.
China didn’t invade USA or kill any American , then why USA hate China so much ?
Pls shut up your playing!
Ahh yes JewNN loves our Blonde daughters. If this tennis player Peng Shuai was a beautiful blonde or a disgusting 'alphabet' person they would command their White House slaves to have a total boycott of the Beijing Winter Olympics

On behalf of the Chinese government, I boycotted the US mid-term elections in 2022, although this is of no use.😂
Meaningless
Biden did this
Hahahaha! How can you send representatives when China didn’t invited them or issue them visa
China when they hear our money and athletes are still coming over. 🤣😂.
Not a single diplomatic representative had been invited due to Covid-19 policy
We shouldn't send anybody any where,the US is broke.
They could not go anyway. How brave
Let’s not send diplomats to Wash DC for a year and don’t pay them.
“Oh my God!! The USA isn’t sending diplomats to our Olympics!!! What are we going to do? How can we go on? The athletes are still coming tho right? Whew. Ok. Good. But the diplomats Oh wow. Well ok then.” China
Shit or get off the pot! Don’t half ass this!
That’s good riddance !
MaxFosterCNN Oh please. They did it for Covid. Lol.
Good
Lol performative
very funny. U.S. trying to be the moral of the world while destroying country after country in the name of democracy and human rights. Only to keep it's so called 'national interest'.I think those days are numbered especially in Africa. Beware, this generation is different.
BTW is this all a distraction from this?
