An International Olympic Committee spokesman bats away several sensitive questions regarding human rights, Xinjiang labour camps, Taiwan and Hong Kong – but his counterpart on the Beijing Organising Committee is far more hawkish.

Tensions were evident between the International Olympic Committee spokesman and one of his counterparts at the Beijing Organising Committee on Thursday as both answered thorny questions from local and international journalists at the Winter Olympics daily press briefing.

But the Beijing committee's Yan Jiarong was far more hawkish, jumping in before Mr Adams could move on.which the UN human rights panel has said could involve more than 1 million Uyghurs"We are very concerned with protecting human rights within our sphere, within the Olympic Games and within the staging of the Olympic Games and protecting the rights of the athletes and all participants of the Olympic Games. That is what we do," he added.

Australian officials boycotted the Beijing Winter Olympics over China's human rights abuses against Uyghur minorities in the country.Clarification was sought on whether the IOC had intervened to force the Chinese Taipei delegation to take part in the opening ceremony two weeks ago, after they said they wouldn't."I would like to make supplementary remarks. I want to say that there is only one China in the world. Taiwan is an indivisible part of China.

The West is good at lying, prosper from lying. And they get away with it. So why not pushing more lies?

Ries, all Ries

lies that were fabricated by the US government then spread it via their mass media systems

Of course China would say that. Shows how the Chinese gov't think of the rest of the world, thinking we would believe them. Disgusting.

They lie about China and Russia because they want war...

Please just look the other way.

Lots of lies out there

😂

But so are everything the official says, it’s all lies only the Chinese government knows what truth and facts are, like they know they have no claims over the South China Sea, and lost the case in the world court because it is facts and evidence based

And China isn’t a communist country that censors all information within its borders.🙄😂

Well DOH!!! Despite having the best satellite spy tech, $300 000 000 on offer and millions of visitors to the sites of claimed human rights abuse sites there is nothing except opinion pieces and stories from paid actors. Want to argue? Credible checkable links.

Ms. Yan would be murdered if she said otherwis.

no media questions the US on human rights issues during Super Bowl. No boycott activities against the US. But they have been killing people in Iraq, Syria etc. 🤔 I think the US government does control mainstream media in the world.

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 sure. Getting plus and minus ratting in your phone I suppose does not count either then being denied thing because that.

They are telling lies about the lies. Nothing the Chinese say can be believed. BoycottBeijing2022

What shoddy reporting. 'Ms Yan could not resist'? Yes, I suspect she couldn't with the usual litany of half-arsed stories of 'labour camps' and 'genocide' and whatever else has been peddled by ASPI (who have had their report on 'labour camps' shot down for it's 'evidence')

And you believe them

Lying is where the West prosper and benefit from.

What else is a senior Chinese govt official going to say for Christ's sake?
