China Threatens US Not To Diplomatically Boycott Beijing Olympics

In the latest development, China threatened the United States against ''countermeasures'' as the US politicians demanded a diplomatic boycott of the Beijing Winter Olympics. Reportedly, the US is planning not to send government officials to attend the 2022 Olympics in Beijing. ''China will take resolute countermeasures,'' said Zhao Lijian, China's foreign ministry spokesman. Earlier, the US president had also talked about the boycott to protest China's human rights records.
