The United States has announced that it will respond with a diplomatic boycott that does not send government officials to the Beijing Olympics because of China’s crackdown on human rights. China is strongly repulsing. Prime Minister Kishida: “I would like to make my own judgment from the perspective of national interests, taking into consideration the significance of the Olympics and the significance of Japan’s diplomacy.” On the other hand, each country is forced to make strict judgments. US President Saki: “The Biden administration will not send diplomacy or official delegations to the Beijing Olympics in consideration of genocide and human rights suppression in the Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region.” “. The United States has announced that it will not allow government officials to attend the Beijing Olympics and Paralympics. In response, the IOC (International Olympic Committee) issued a statement. “Attendance of government officials is a political decision of each government, and the IOC respects that decision.” Meanwhile, China continues to deny human rights issues. The Chinese Ministry of Foreign Affairs responded to the US decision as follows. China’s Foreign Ministry spokesman: “China is strongly dissatisfied with the announcement of the United States and strongly opposes it. We have already negotiated rigorously with the United States and will make a decisive counterattack. In a situation where it is not, linking the dispatch of senior U.S. government officials to the human rights issue of the Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region is an act of making mistakes and making more mistakes and deceiving oneself. ” In Weibo, the “Baiden Winter Olympics” was ranked first at 9 am on the 7th, but it disappeared from the ranking before noon. Is the new topic sweeping the net, or is it a desperate fire extinguisher? US Presidential Press Secretary Saki: “(Q. Do you encourage allies to participate in diplomatic boycotts?) It’s up to them to decide.” Currently, China and Taiwan are expressing diplomatic boycotts outside the United States. Lithuania is at odds with the problem. In addition, New Zealand has stopped dispatching ministers because of the epidemic of the new coronavirus. In addition, the United Kingdom and Australia are considering it, and according to overseas media, Germany, Canada, Switzerland, etc. may be diplomatic boycotts. Will “boycott dominoes” occur in the world following the United States in the future? And what is Japan’s decision?
