“The Biden administration will not send any diplomatic or official representation to the Beijing 2022 Winter Olympics and Paralympic Games given the PRC’s ongoing genocide and crimes against humanity in Xinjiang, and other human rights abuses,” White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki said at the time, using the acronym for the People’s Republic of China.
She added that while “the athletes on Team USA have our full support, we’ll be behind them 100 percent as we cheer them on from home, we will not be contributing to the fanfare of the games.”“There is no reason to watch a Winter Olympics that is holding up and spreading propaganda for a regime that is committing actual genocide and ethnic cleansing,” she wrote.The 30-second ad was bought by Florida GOP Rep. Mike Waltz and slammed the event as the “Genocide Games.
“This is the equivalent of holding the Olympics in Germany in the 1940s or Rwanda during their atrocities,” Waltz told The Post on Feb. 5. “It is beyond the pale that the [International Olympic Committee] didn’t move the games.” The spot highlighted companies for their working relationships with China, including places such as Visa, Coca-Cola, Nike, Intel and Procter & Gamble.
