The thought of a diplomatic boycott of the Beijing video games just isn’t new. As early as April, a State Division spokesman stated the U.S. was in talks with key allies about methods to protest China’s human rights document on the Winter Olympics.
However Thursday marked the primary time Biden himself had confirmed {that a} diplomatic boycott was “one thing we’re contemplating.”

We hope other countries follow suit to smear Xihitler's satanic face.
"El burro hablando de orejas" thats what they would say in my country.
Honestly, it would be a change many countries would see an opportunity in.
Not only his poll numbers are tanking, this is the same as the Carter administration boycott the 1980 Olympics with the Soviet Union
for the invasion of Afghanistan.
Boycott the World Cup and summer Olympics in USA for the genocide in Yemen and Afghanistan!!!!!
virtue signaling. “Pull our athletes out and punish them to teach China a lesson!” Okay bro, you also gonna force our businesses out of China and give jobs back to Americans? That’s what I thought.
The US hypocrisy and double standard is mind-boggling. My guess is that the US is not happy with China being named the wealhiest country in the world
But we'll still do business with them…
Have China invited them?
I don't see any problem. America will long be a pariah in the world, and soon the whole world will boycott the United States.
China is now angry enough to start kidnapping the US athletics. So, be careful. The best solution is to Boycott the Beijing Olympics full top—no diplomats and no athletics going to China, and let the thugs in Beijing throw their baby tantrum. It's kind of fun to watch when the China/CCP says "it hurts 1.4 billion Chinese people." LOL>
Boycott to something that you were not invited to. That is such a joke. Childish publicity. Typical of US Presidents.
Yet send millions to Israel to murder children😭
President Trump says to China just test us and see what you get, Biden say's we are not coming to the party like a spoiled child, that should scare China, what a joke this Admin is, leaving the world open to destruction because Biden and his govt are weak.
Let those capitalistic maggots stay home

Well he cursed all the roads and the oil men,
And he cursed the automobile,
Said this is no place for an hombre like I am,
In this new world of asphalt and steel.
Then he'd look off some place in the distance,
At something only he could see,
He'd say all that's left now of the old days,
Those damned old coyotes and me.
And they go hoo yip hoo yip hoo
hoodi hoo di yip hoo di yip hoo
hoo yip hoo yip hoo
hoo di hoo di yip hoo di yip hoo
Now the long horns are gone,
And the drovers are gone
The Comanches are gone
And the outlaws are gone,
Now Quantro is gone,
Stan Watie is gone
And lion is gone,
And the red wolf is gone.

Did Biden remember what he said?
Mr. scond trum
How about how boycotting the United States for their civil rights violations and genocide against the African-American men and the Latino population.
I will not defend or justify the actions of any politician, it doesn't matter from any country if the politician does not respect the value of political neutrality in sports events. The stars of a sports event are athletes and not politicians or diplomats.
How About 2028 Olympics in USA ??
Do USA permit any kind of political slogan and political propaganda posters allowed in the stadium ??
In Reality , I never watch any single Olympics that hosted in USA , i prefer Asia or Europe countries hosted Olympics
I Wonder Do USA already have list of countries they want to blacklist for their 2028 Olympics just because they fear certain countries might beef with USA Politicians ??
USA : We are host nation of 2028 Olympics , we can do everything we want including allowing political slogan posters in the stadium
IOC : Not so Fast Murica , You are still under our watchful eyes , This is Sporting Event , Not Political Stage ,
If You Commit the faux pas , we can cancel you
Ya Australian , UK and Canada Politicians
Also US Politicians that Leading this Boycott Bandwagon
Are Ya Dare Enough to Ask IOC to donate Gold Medals for the team of your countries ??
If Not , Youre Big Coward
I will applause you at heaven if i death if yall have strong guts to do so
Diplomatic Boycott is a Big Joke
Sure You Doesn't Want to Issue a Full Boycott , cuz you don't want your teams can't perform for Paris 2024
China Doesn't Boycott the Sydney 2000 Olympics
China Doesn't Boycott the Vancouver 2010
Olympics
China Doesn't Boycott the London 2012 Olympics
China Doesn't Boycott LA 1984 and Atlanta 1996 Olympics
Whats Wrong with Those Politicians from the land of bald eagle , beaver , lion and kangaroo ??

Whats Wrong With You Guys ?? Are We Invited You ?? We Don't Invite Foolish Mongrels Like You at Our Party
Triple Colour Rooster King from the Couture Land : Calm Down Guys , I'm the Big Boss of the Next Olympics , If those salty 4 horseman of Apocalypse creating chaos and drama in my Olympics , IOC sure know how to kick'em out with tough lesson
Chef de la propagande occidentale contre la Chine BIDEN se trouve complètement isolé et marginalisé sur la scène internationale. Sur le total de 193 pays membres des Nations Unies, le boycott diplomatique de BIDEN n n'est suivi que par trois autres pays voyous (Royaume Uni, Australie et Canada).
Head of Western propaganda against China BIDEN finds himself completely isolated and marginalized on the international scene. Of the total of 193 UN member countries, biden's diplomatic boycott is followed by only three other rogue countries (uk, Australia and Canada).
Les chinois n'ont pas besoin de Biden. Ils n'en n'ont rien à glander.
Maybe we can send a sternly worded letter to the CCP. That will teach them.
