Top 5 - Reasons to Boycott the Beijing Olympics

1. The Wuhan Virus. This virus came from the Wuhan Institute for Virology not from some "wet market" and the Chinese have covered it up. This cover up delayed action and cost hundreds of thousands of lives. The Tokyo Olympics had to be delayed or cancelled because of the virus yet China is not set to pay any price for their negligence? 

2. There's an active genocide going on in China. The US's official policy is still that China's detention of million of Xinjiang Muslims constitutes genocide. After the Holocaust when the world said "Never Again" nobody added the qualifier "except in Olympics years." How any Muslim country can do business with the Chinese, never mind participate in the Olympics, is mystifying to me. I'm also mystified why sponsors would want their brands associated with the Genocide Olympics.. 

3. Hong Kong. The Chinese Communists used the cover of the pandemic to crack down and eliminate any vestiges of freedom in Hong Kong while the world was busy dealing with the pandemic. It is wrong for the world to forget the plight of the Hong Kongers. To participate in these Olympics would be a slap in the face to all those in Hong Kong who were locked up or killed simply for wanting freedom.

4. Tibet. Before Hollywood found gold pandering to Chinese audiences the plight of Tibet was a favored liberal cause. The Tibetans are still under the thumb of the Chinese Communists but greed in Hollywood will cover up many, many sins. 

5. The safety of the athletes and the American tourists attending the games. How free will the broadcasters and reporters covering the Olympics be to vice their true opinions? How free will the athletes themselves be? Can you imagine an athlete wearing a "Free Hong Kong" shirt getting detained for months by the CCP? I can easily imagine that. Or American tourists being held simply as leverage against us. If that happens the answer will be "we should never have been there in the first place." We are Americans - the world looks to us to speak up and be strong. This is the opposite.

The idea of Winter Olympics in China is farcical to begin with. When you think Alpine skiing how many hundreds of other places would you think of before answering Beijing? The Chinese Communists crave legitimacy. Why are we giving that to them? Boycott the 2022 Winter Olympics - China is asshole!
