  1. That's a surprising statement from Cruz - maybe he has given up trying for 2024.
  2. https://www.insidethegames.biz/index.php/articles/1104879/beijing-2022-boycott-nikki-haley The IOC is netrual on genocide.
  3. https://www.theguardian.com/sport/blog/2021/mar/01/boycott-beijing-winter-olympics-berlin A good article.
  4. This type of behaviour and no complant from the IOC will see nations permantly pulling out the Olympic movement.
  5. As I have been saying for months. The IOC has no idea that boycotts are likely - they seem to be think it won't happen.
  6. https://www.washingtonexaminer.com/news/white-house-shifts-beijing-olympics-boycott-pressure-uyghur-genocide I think USOC will end up agreeing to boycott.
  7. Western companies are being targeted for their Olympic links either direct or indirect.
  8. For how long through - the sponsors are now being targeted - USOC might find it's commercially more viable to boycott.
  9. https://timesofsandiego.com/sports/2021/02/26/biden-mulls-beijing-olympic-boycott-would-doom-san-diego-medal-favorites-white-humphries/ Press in the USA seem to be reading the white house statement as if Biden might recommend a full boycott.
  10. https://uk.news.yahoo.com/us-boycott-2022-winter-olympics-040240212.html Boycotting will be popular - will Biden want the Republicans to be able to argue he is soft on China - I don't think so - America will ultimately boycott IMO.
  11. The US Goverment could change that through and make them a government body.
  12. https://www.msn.com/en-gb/news/world/united-states-could-boycott-2022-winter-olympics-in-beijing/ar-BB1e14U8 https://www.cnbc.com/2021/02/25/white-house-leaves-door-open-to-boycotting-2022-beijing-olympics-as-pressure-grows.html Feels like USOC is going to be put under a lot of pressure to boycott - remember it won't want to completely fracture it's relationship with the republicans.
  13. If they get obsessed with the issue they will target individual anti boycott athletes.
  14. https://www.foxnews.com/opinion/biden-boycott-china-winter-olympics-2022-nikki-haley Fox News getting involved means the buildup will be relentless.
  15. Biden would only comment on 2021 if either Japanese government or the IOC want to pull the plug and think getting Biden to oppose it will achieve that. It won't be him opposing it while both of the above are determined to carry on.
  16. The Aussie Parliament is pretty anti China = it's quite possible over the coming year their relationship with the IOC deteriorates badly.

'Utah Sen. Mitt Romney doesn’t favor boycotting the 2022 Winter Olympics in Beijing as a fellow Republican congressman is urging President Joe Biden to do. “I’m happy if President Biden himself boycotts the Olympics in Beijing. I don’t want our athletes to suffer. They’ve planned their whole lives to be ready at this point for this competition, so I don’t want to do things that hurt our athletes,” he said.'
  18. It does mean the likelihood of a Canada bid for 2030 is quickly decreasing.
  19. The IOC is going to make sure no-one bids for future games the way they allowing China to threaten countries. https://sputniknews.com/world/202102231082159784-china-slams-canada-for-shameless-genocide-vote-on-2022-winter-olympics-as-relations-sour/ https://www.voanews.com/east-asia-pacific/uighur-rights-groups-pressure-corporate-sponsors-boycott-2022-beijing-olympics

"The likelihood of a 2022 Olympic boycott is increasing by the day," said Natasha Kassam, an analyst at the Lowy Institute, in Sydney, and a former Australian diplomat in China, reported CNN. If I was a Canadian prospet for 2022 i would not be thinking participation is going to happen.

  22. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-us-canada-56131781 'Mr Blinken refused to be drawn on calls for a boycott of the 2022 Winter Olympics, due to be held in Beijing, over allegations of genocide against the Uighur minority, saying only: "That's something we'll come to at the right time, in the right moment."
