Biden Says Considering Diplomatic Boycott Of Beijing Olympics

WASHINGTON (Pakistan Point News / Sputnik - 19th November, 2021) US President Joe Biden said on Thursday he was considering a diplomatic boycott of the 2022 Beijing Winter Olympics, according to a member of the White House's pool of reporters.

"Something we're considering," Biden replied to NBC news reporter Peter Alexander, when asked whether he supports a diplomatic boycott of the Games.

A diplomatic boycott will mean that neither Biden nor any other US government officials will attend the Beijing Games, in protest against alleged human rights abuses by the Chinese government.
