U.S. House of Representatives Speaker Nancy Pelosi on Tuesday called for a U.S. diplomatic boycott of the 2022 Winter Olympics in Beijing, criticizing China for human rights abuses and saying global leaders who attend would lose their moral authority.

U.S. lawmakers have been increasingly vocal about an Olympic boycott or venue change, and have lashed out at American corporations, arguing their silence about what the State Department has deemed a genocide of Uyghurs and other ethnic minorities in China was abetting the Chinese government.

Pelosi, a Democrat, told a bipartisan congressional hearing on the issue that heads of state around the world should shun the games, scheduled for February.

"What I propose - and join those who are proposing - is a diplomatic boycott," Pelosi said, in which "lead countries of the world withhold their attendance at the Olympics."


"Let's not honor the Chinese government by having heads of state go to China," she added.

"For heads of state to go to China in light of a genocide that is ongoing - while you're sitting there in your seat - really begs the question, what moral authority do you have to speak again about human rights any place in the world?" she said.

An independent United Nations panel said in 2018 it had received credible reports that at least 1 million Uyghurs and other Muslims had been held in camps in China's Xinjiang region. Beijing describes them as vocational training centers to stamp out extremism, and strongly rejects accusations of abuse and genocide. read more

Chinese Embassy spokesman Liu Pengyu told Reuters that U.S. attempts to interfere in China's domestic affairs over the Olympics were doomed to fail.


"I wonder what makes some U.S. politicians think they actually have the so-called 'moral authority'? On human rights issues, they are in no position, either historically or currently, to make wanton groundless criticism against China," Liu said.

'HELD TO ACCOUNT'

Republican Congressman Chris Smith, who led the hearing, said corporate sponsors should be called to testify before Congress and be "held to account".

"Big business wants to make lots of money, and it doesn't seem to matter what cruelty - even genocide - that the host nation commits," Smith said.


Democratic Congressman Jim McGovern added the Games should be postponed to give the International Olympic Committee time to "relocate to a country whose government is not committing atrocities."

"If we can postpone an Olympics by a year for a pandemic, we can surely postpone the Olympics for a year for a genocide," McGovern said, referring to the decision by Japan and the IOC to delay the 2020 Summer Games in Tokyo due to COVID-19.

Demands for some form of boycott of the Beijing Games are growing.

Last month, Republican Senator Mitt Romney introduced an amendment to broader legislation to counter China that would implement a U.S. diplomatic boycott.


And a coalition of human rights activists on Tuesday called for athletes to boycott the Games and put pressure on the IOC.

U.S. President Joe Biden's administration has said it hopes to develop a joint approach with allies to participation in Beijing's Olympics, but Secretary of State Antony Blinken has repeatedly said the issue has not yet been broached in discussions.

Asked about Pelosi's comments, a senior administration official told Reuters the administration's position on the 2022 Olympics had not changed.

Biden, a Democrat, has said China is America's strategic competitor, and has vowed to not let the country surpass the United States as a world leader on his watch.


Proponents of Americans competing in Beijing's Olympics say it would be unfair to punish athletes, and the Games would provide a platform for the United States, which has one of the highest Winter Olympic medal counts, to show its vitality on the global stage.

Sarah Hirshland, the chief executive officer of the U.S. Olympic and Paralympic Committee, said in a written statement the committee was concerned about the "oppression of the Uyghur population," but barring U.S. athletes from the Games was "certainly not the answer."

"Past Olympic boycotts have failed to achieve political ends," she said.

Hysterical devil, she is desperate.

 

[Yongpeng Sun-Tastaufen]

China should boycott any Olympics held in the US for the systematic genocide of 6 million native Americans.

 

[ozranger]

Anyone word about the genocide that is actually happening in palestine?

US physically backs the genocide.

[Yongpeng Sun-Tastaufen]

Fake. If there is really a genocide they will really boycott rather than giving lip service and then attend the Olympics.

 

[CAPRICORN-88]

Old woman politician like Nancy Pelosi that is so disconnected from the real world, she should retired before her senility gets any worse and humiliates her party, her country and her.

Her famous "Behold a beautiful sight" will be remember a long time after she is gone and is now a laughing matter among East Asians after her office in Capitol Hill was similarly attacked.

It is instant karma for this old and distorted woman.

 

[jbond197]

Anyone word about the genocide that is actually happening in palestine?

There are plenty of Muslim countries to speak on it. Why look up to America for that?

Also this is a good call. US should take a lead to spread this message across the world to bouycott Chinese Olympics.

China should boycott any Olympics held in the US for the systematic genocide of 6 million native Americans.

Sure why not China is free to do that!!

I had so much respect for her when she rip Trump's speech paper in Congress floor, but lost every bit of respect for the entire US govt and congress except for a few, like Bernie who despite being a Jew himself opening criticize brutal Israeli bombings on Gaza, while the rest of these ball polishers of a Politicians are licking Jewish lobby boots. Boycotting Olympics for what? Chinese treatment of Uhigur but when you will boycott Israel who are literally carpet-bombing the same Muslims in Palestine?

 

[redtom]

At least one Muslim group supports Israel.

在大屠杀受难者国际纪念日前夕，英国的犹太领袖们挺身而出，基于过去二战期间犹太人遭受纳粹德国屠杀的历史伤痛，对于今日迫害维吾尔人的中共表达谴责，并告诉维吾尔人，「你们并不孤单」。

As long as bigots like you hate Jews, you are not helping Palestine cause. Only way to stop Zionist Israel war crimes and genocide is to put pressure on west to stop support. Western public opinion need to be shifted. Not every jew is supporter of Israel. Its Israeli lobby and not jewish.

OP is make a full of himself with this post.

It just strengthen the hate against US with recent double standard of handling Israel Palestine affair.

 

[Reichsmarschall]

There are plenty of Muslim countries to speak on it. Why look up to America for that?

Maybe because America is actively funding that genocide? And woman in question has said it on camera she will continue to fund apartheid state even if American Capitol is burned to the ground.

Edit : just realized you're sporting an Indian flag, please ignore my earlier comment and move along.

I've never had any respect for her. She is the epitome of a corrupt, useless career politician that is only in it to get her own bread buttered. She is pure scum and a lying deceitful witch. I literally have more respect for Trump and find him more honest than this witch.

That's your view and nobody seems to agree with that viewpoint. Everyone can live in peace if there are no attacks on Israeli soil to begin with. Israel has right to protect itself and attack the attackers who are hiding behind innocent people.

LOL..posting a silly pic surely will help massage your ego but facts remains the facts. Learn to accept them! Ciao!!
