He aha e lawe ʻia mai kēia ʻatikala:
- “The Biden administration will not send any diplomatic or official representation to the 2022 Beijing Winter Olympics,” Jen Psaki said, noting that this decision does not cover US athletes who will be free to travel to compete in Beijing.
- The diplomatic boycott would still allow American athletes to compete and ultimately would not affect the games' proceedings, although a number of American athletes support the cause, declaring Beijing's treatment of Uyghur Muslims to be ‘abysmal.
- While vowing to cheer on the competing American athletes, Psaki lamented that sending a delegation would treat the Olympics as business as usual,’ and the United States just ‘simply can't do that,’.
