Western leaders are like the corporate schlep who watches his boss smack his wifes ass at the Christmas Party and is trying to hush her up in the back room. "Shhh, not so loud honey. He was only joking, you know how he gets after a few drinks".
There is no doubt in my mind, that without a confrontation, especially economically of China, that Taiwan, S Korea, Japan and even Australia, will not be long for the Western camp. What good is following some Western system of capitalism and democracy, when they are once again rolled over by a fascist state (in fact, we arm them)?
What does it say of us as humans when we watch this happen, on top of the many other abuses?
China ‘will sanction’ countries planning to boycott 2022 Winter Olympics over human rights concerns
China has shot a clear warning at human rights groups rallying for countries to boycott the 2022 Winter Olympics over human rights complaints.
Editor of China’s propaganda mouthpiece The Global Times Hu Xijin warned that the government would “seriously sanction any country” that makes a statement against the superpower by refusing to send athletes to Beijing.
“Boycotting 2022 Beijing Winter Games, an unpopular idea, won’t receive wide support,” Hu Xijin wrote on Twitter on Sunday.
“IOC and athletes will both oppose it, and China will seriously sanction any country that follows such a call.”
The development came after a coalition of 180 human rights organisations banded together in an open letter to world governments, urging they boycott the 2022 Games to “ensure they are not used to embolden the Chinese government’s appalling rights abuses and crackdowns on dissent”.
“The IOC foolishly decided on having the Winter Olympics and Paralympics in Beijing (so) we are forced to speak out,” Kalden Obara, president of the Tibetan Community in Japan, said at a Tokyo news conference last week.
