No Freedom, No Olympics. Boycott Beijing 2022! Beijing’s free-speech threat at Winter Olympics is the millionth reason to boycott Beijing last week provided another reason to skip the 2022 Winter Olympics Games: a warning to competing athletes to not speak about about China’s aggression, oppression or genocidal abuses.“Any expression that is in line with the Olympic spirit I’m sure will be protected,” Yang Shu, the Beijing Organizing Committee’s deputy director general of international relations, generously allows. But: “Any behavior or speech that is against the Olympic spirit, especially against the Chinese laws and regulations, are also subject to certain punishment.”Nice to know the Chinese Communist Party’s view of “Olympic spirit,” already apparent in its treatment of its own athletes.Yang added that “the politicization of sports is one of the things opposed by the Olympic Charter” and that “dedicated departments” would be established if any protests violated Chinese laws or the Olympic regulations.What kinds of dedicated departments? We’ll find out when China makes something up on the spot.And don’t expect the International Olympic Committee to stand by the athletes or free speech; it’s been too busy defending its choice of Beijing to host the games, despite its repeated atrocities.These Olympics threaten to add a whole new competition — with the CCP racking up gold medals for fresh oppression.No Democracy, No Olympics. Boycott Beijing 2022! -- source link
