U.S. 'considering' diplomatic boycott of Beijing Olympics

[Meister]

So our President should start publicly kissing their asses, lifting sanctions, trying to give them back spyhouses, siding with them over our own intelligence agencies, and publicly asking them for help in the 2022 and 2024 elections?

Probably, in those late night phone calls between the "two old friends", that is exactly what is going on.

We should be boycotting the entire games.

Peng incident shows how we’re all compromised when it comes to the Beijing Olympics​

With less than three months to go until the start of the Beijing Olympics, China seems determined to make everyone involved cross a moral Rubicon to get there.

The latest kerfuffle involves Chinese tennis pro Peng Shuai. A couple of weeks ago, Peng accused China’s former vice-premier – one of the half-dozen most powerful people in the country – of sexual assault.

The accusation was detailed and unambiguous. It was levelled via a verified social-media account. That account went dark almost immediately, and there were no follow-up comments. Everyone in tennis rushed in to support her. Pretty quickly, as will happen, the news shifted from what Peng said to what other famous people felt about what Peng said.

It wasn’t until a while later that anyone got around to wondering where Peng was. That’s when a curious e-mail was sent to the Women’s Tennis Association, purportedly from Peng.

By the time February rolls around, the majority of us will end up on the same side as China

Senator Tom Cotton calls for boycott of 2022 Winter Olympics in Beijing​

LITTLE ROCK, Ark. (KNWA/KFTA) — Senator Tom Cotton called for a complete boycott of next year’s Winter Olympics if they remain in China, he said in a press conference on Thursday, Nov. 18.

According to Sen. Cotton, the Biden administration is planning to announce a diplomatic boycott, but that is the “least, absolute bare minimum, that any civilized nation would do for these genocide Olympics.”

Cotton has two primary reasons for calling for the boycott.

Olympic Games are great for propagandists – how the lessons of Hitler’s Olympics loom over Beijing 2022

On the morning of Aug. 14, 1936, two NBC employees met for breakfast at a café in Berlin. Max Jordan and Bill Slater were discussing the Olympic Games they were broadcasting back to the United States – and the Nazi propaganda machine that had made their work, and their visit to Germany, somewhat unpleasant.

Slater complained about all the staged regimentation and the obviously forced smiles everywhere.

In the face of China’s repression and human rights abuses, a scholar asks whether cheerful media coverage of the Beijing Olympics in February 2022 signals complicity with Chinese propaganda.

Fort Fun Indiana You have quite an imagination, kind of scary actually.

But you don't have the guts to dispute a word of it. Just run away scared and toss self soothing platitudes over your shoylder as you go.

Funny how you have to make something up out of thin air to have any point. Which means you don't actually have a point.

 

[busybee01]

We need a 100% boycott on China altogether. We should be treating them just like we did the Soviet Union.

Our athletes should not be used as political pawns.

 

[busybee01]

What's wrong with the athletes performing in this country instead of a Totalitarian Hell Hole?

Hardly "unfair" to them, as they will still get a chance to perform on TV.,m

It would be more embarassing to defeat the Chinese in their backyard. Remember how Jesse Owens embarrassed Hitler in the games held in Germany.

 

[busybee01]

Why are you an apologist for Red Chinese slave labor? Is the fact that they made massive payoffs to the Biden Crime Family the reason?

The athletes are not political pawns for you to use.

 

[MarathonMike]

The Olympics should have been taken away from the CCP and moved to a country that isn't the most evil Empire on the planet. The athletes deserve to have their moment in the Sun IMO, but the CCP does not deserve the Olympics.

 

[Dont Taz Me Bro]

Our athletes should not be used as political pawns.

When I say boycott China 100% I mean exactly that across the board. I'm not talking about the Olympics. I'm talking about doing any business with them period.

I have no idea what any of that is supposed to mean.

Need to deport ECO Health Alliance and all those partners from the NIH HHS at the same time.

If Sippy Cup is serious, announce the boycott now!
Why wait?

Not logistically possible, too many goods are made in China, essential ones included. Even more so now than 20 years ago.

I would bet even US made cars use some Chinese electronic parts.

Yup, and that's our fault. We depend on our adversaries where we should have never relinquished our
industries like we have.
