Chinese Government furious against USA diplomatic boycott, vows countermeasures against the USA soon
The Joe Biden Administration had sanctioned a “Diplomatic Boycott” of the “Beijing Winter Olympics” over China’s abuse of Human Rights & crimes against humanity in Xinjiang province of China, to which the Chinese government has stated categorically on Tuesday that the USA will ‘Pay the Price’ for the diplomatic boycott.
China has warned of unspecified countermeasures against the USA launched Diplomatic Boycott, drawing a very fiery opposition in the Chinese government; Zhao Lijian, when interviewed by the media, informed them to Stay tuned as China would react soon.
He added that the USA has attempted to interfere with Beijing games based on misleading propaganda, which will only expose the sinister intentions of the American government. He further stated that the sports stage should not be used for any political manipulations.
Back in Washington, the rightists’ group in the USA government welcomed the stand taken by the Biden administration, as the president was undergoing continuous pressure to speak out against Human Rights abuse by China.
Jen Psaki, White House Press Secretary, has further confirmed that no official or diplomatic representation would be sent to the games given China’s ongoing Crimes against Humanity rights; sending an official representation would mean that the USA does not bother about human rights & that could not be the case.
However, the athlete’s representatives on Team USA, coaches & support staff will have the full support of the Biden administration.
The International Olympic Committee (IOC) is playing a neutral role between the two nations, calling it a purely political decision by the Biden administration & that the committee respects it to be a nation’s internal decision.
IOC also cleared that the games & the athletes’ participation are beyond any political influence, as stated by the International Olympic Committee officials.
The Donald Trump period had brought the relationship graph of China & the USA to the lowest mark possible due to how the Covid-19 virus had been produced & emerged in the Wuhan district of China.
However, President Biden had tried to re-engage with the Chinese authorities while focusing on countering China’s military presence in the Indo-Pacific region; the Olympic boycott can be called a diplomatic move with complex balancing.
President Biden is still emphasizing improving global relations with dialogue even with China, for which the rightist faction considers the Biden administration to be on the softer side.
