The United States is preparing for a diplomatic boycott

At the beginning of December last year White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki officially announced her diplomatic boycott The Winter Olympics will be held in Beijing in February. She added that the decision does not apply to athletes who will enjoy the full support of the United States. Great Britain was also considering a similar move.

In response, China warned that the US diplomatic boycott of the Beijing Winter Olympics could harm bilateral dialogue and cooperation in important areas. They also called for politics to be kept out of sport.

“China opposes the boycott and has taken decisive measures,” Reuters quoted Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesman Zhao Lijian as saying.
