The Chinese Foreign Ministry commented on reports of a US diplomatic boycott of the 2022 Winter Olympics

An official comment followed in response to rumors that a diplomatic boycott awaits the XXIV Winter Olympic Games in China.

The corresponding message was published last Tuesday on the pages of the Washington Post. An official representative of the Chinese Foreign Ministry commented on the situation.

Zhao Lijian, a representative of the Chinese Foreign Ministry, called such reports speculation, MIA reports.

A representative of the Chinese Foreign Ministry refused to comment on the “diplomatic boycott,” recalling that the main characters of the Olympic Games are athletes, not politicians.

I don’t comment on speculation. “I would like to reiterate that the Beijing 2022 Winter Olympics and Paralympics are a stage for athletes from all over the world, and they are the real protagonists of the Games,” the agency quoted the diplomat as saying.

A Foreign Ministry official also said that in preparation for the Olympics in Beijing, a countdown was given, and the IOC highly appreciated the work done.

Let us remind you that information has appeared in foreign media that the US authorities are allegedly planning to declare a diplomatic boycott of the 2022 Olympics.

From the publications it follows that Joe Biden and members of the government do not intend to visit Beijing.

At the same time, there is no talk of American athletes not participating in competitions.

There have been no official comments from the White House on this topic.
