Nancy Pelosi calls for diplomatic boycott of 2022 Beijing Winter Olympics

US House speaker Nancy Pelosi has called for a US diplomatic boycott of the 2022 Winter Olympics in Beijing, saying global leaders who attend the games would lose their moral authority to criticise China for human rights abuses. Pelosi’s statement comes as US lawmakers have been increasingly vocal about a boycott or venue change over the treatment of Uyghurs and other ethnic minorities in China. ’What I propose – and join those who are proposing – is a diplomatic boycott,”’Pelosi said. ’Let’s not honor the Chinese government by having heads of state go to China.’ Nancy Pelosi calls for US diplomatic boycott of Beijing Winter Olympics
