2021-12-07
On December 7, foreign ministry spokesman Zhao Lijian chaired a regular press conference. A reporter asked. On December 6, the United States announced that the Biden government would not send any diplomatic or official representatives to the 2022 Beijing Winter Olympics. What is China's comment on this? Zhao Lijian said that the fact that the United States concocted a century lie about the so-called "genocide" in Xinjiang has long been exposed. The US side's attempt to interfere with the Beijing Winter Olympics based on ideological prejudice, lies and rumors will only make people see the US side's sinister intentions and will only make the US side lose more morality and credibility. When it comes to "genocide", the crimes committed against Indian aborigines in American history are the real genocide. This hat is the most suitable for the United States to wear. The US approach seriously violates the principle of political neutrality of sports established in the Olympic Charter, runs counter to the more united Olympic motto, and stands against the vast number of athletes and sports lovers all over the world. China is strongly dissatisfied with and firmly opposed to the US position. It has made solemn representations to the US side and will resolutely counter it. Zhao Lijian pointed out that the Winter Olympics is not a stage for political show and political manipulation. According to the Olympic rules, officials from various countries shall be invited by their national Olympic committees to attend the Olympic Games. Whether US government officials will attend the Beijing Winter Olympics and come to cheer for their athletes is the US side's own business. Without receiving the invitation, the United States linked whether to send government officials to attend with the so-called "human rights issue in Xinjiang", which is completely confusing black and white, adding mistakes to mistakes, and deceiving itself and others. The political scheme of the United States is unpopular and doomed to failure. Zhao Lijian stressed that the Beijing Winter Olympic Games is a grand event for global Winter Olympic athletes and ice and snow sports lovers, and they are the protagonists. The international community, including the International Olympic Committee, highly recognizes China's preparations, and foreign athletes are eagerly looking forward to participating in China, including a large number of American athletes. We believe that under the guidance of the Olympic spirit and with the joint efforts of all parties, China will present a simple, safe and wonderful Olympic event for the world. The United States should stop politicizing sports and interfering with and undermining the words and deeds of the Beijing Winter Olympic Games, otherwise it will damage the dialogue and cooperation between the two countries in a series of important fields and international and regional issues. Subsequently, a reporter asked that the United States will host the 2028 Los Angeles Olympic Games and is still preparing to bid for the 2030 Salt Lake City Winter Olympic Games. Will China consider a diplomatic boycott against the United States? Zhao Lijian said that the wrong act of the US side has damaged the foundation and atmosphere of China US sports exchanges and Olympic cooperation. It is lifting a stone and hitting itself in the foot. The US side should recognize the consequences of this wrong act.
