Who knows what will happen - I just don't think you can underestimate the strength of anti-china feeling in the UK and the popular support a boycott would have.

If no western company can trade with China how will atheltes be able to enter because they wont even be flights there

I'm not sure how financially the new sanctions against china would even allow the olympicd to go ahead.

Could it end up being LA 2030 or 2032?

Could it end up being Paris 2026 or 2028 - Sir Matthew Pinsent is calling for Tokyo to move to 2024 with Paris going to 2028.

They wont make a decision yet but they won't rule out telling people - they leave it to the autumn. The Goverment in the UK is now going on about People in China eating bats - it would be very them to say the IOC won't move it so we not letting you go - if you angry blame President XI and the IOC.

I think they will be cancelled. Not many of the athletes and officials will be vaccinated by August bar maybe Israeli and Danes as both countries are promising full adult vaccination by July

I bet you tomorrow the UK government refuses to rule out ordering the team to withdraw when challenged during a debate on human rights in China.

Ditto it is likely slave labour has been used. A lot of people are in denial about how likely a boycot is going to be.

How can anyone think a team will be allowed to go to a country on a trade embargo list.

With more and more news from Hong Kong I can't see the UK government allowing the team to go.

Debate in the UK Commons tomorrow on China - I think Raab likely to repeat his open to a boycott stance when it is inevitably raised as part of it. I think the aftermath of him saying that might be when the BOA and British winter Olympians comment on it - they need to starting preparing for a full scale debate on their participation.

More and More politicians in the uk calling for Boycotting China - can't see how the government will be able to allow team GB to go.

True but who knows.

If the UK puts sanctions on President Xi how could any British competitor attending the opening ceremony where he will open the games.

Slowly more and more sport stars are turning on China and Chinese companies so even if no nations boycott I think we might get some athletes boycotting.

Canada is likely to have an election next year and the opposition leader is known to be pro-boycott so if he wins I don't expect to see Team Canada in Beijing.

I think people will hate China even more in a year's time when more and more evidence emerges about how the vaccine came around.

https://www.skynews.com.au/details/_6213253120001 An Aussie Tv host calls for a boycott. I believe Sky News Australia is popular and influential with supporters of the current Aussie government.

'Proof' - Apologies for the misspelling and lack of ' '.

I feel the latest prove that China actions have killed millions from covid will make the public's attitude to boycotting stronger.

https://www.saltwire.com/opinion/national-perspectives/john-ivison-boycott-of-beijing-olympics-is-no-substitute-for-a-proper-foreign-policy-522125/ The main opposition party in Canada are now advocating that a boycott should be considered. The Canadian government does not seem very interested in a boycott through.
