Beijing Winter Olympics Boycott rises among coordinated Global Leaders

 Global Leaders push for 'diplomatic boycott' of Beijing Winter Olympics

Politicians from countries across Europe and America launched coordinated legislative actions, calling for a diplomatic boycott of winter olympics. 

 Amid the growing sentiments of boycott of 2022 Beijing Winter Olympic Games , a gaggle of politicians from countries across Europe and North America launched coordinated legislative actions on Monday, calling for a diplomatic boycott of games citing "gross violations of human rights" by the Chinese government.

This action is aimed to mount pressure on governments, elected officials, and heads of state, to say no invitations to next year's Olympics, South China Morning Post reported.

"This coordinated effort by legislators in multiple democratic countries sends a message the IOC cannot ignore: if it can discuss postponing the Tokyo Games over public health concerns, it can certainly move the China games over the mass incarceration of millions in concentration camps," said Tom Malinowski, vice-chair of the United States House of Representatives of Representatives Foreign Affairs Committee, during a statement.

Last month, a coalition of human rights groups had involved an entire boycott of the Winter Olympic Games , saying that participating within the games would be tantamount to endorsing China's genocide against the Uyghur people".

In a joint statement, a coalition representing Uyghurs, Tibetans, residents of Hong Kong et al. had said that the Chinese government is committing genocide against the Uyghur people and waging an unprecedented campaign of repression in East Turkistan, Tibet and Southern Mongolia, also as an all-out assault on democracy in Hong Kong .

"Participating within the Beijing Olympic Games at this point would be tantamount to endorsing China's genocide against the Uyghur people, and legitimising the increasingly repressive policies of the totalitarian Chinese regime," the coalition said during a statement.

Demands for a few sort of boycott of the Beijing Games are continuously growing.

US House of Representatives Speaker Nancy Pelosi has also involved a "diplomatic boycott" of the Winter Olympic Games that are scheduled to require place in Beijing next year, over the human rights violations of Uyghurs in China.

Speaking at a hearing of Congress' Tom Lantos Human Rights Commission, Pelosi last month had advocated for the us to withhold any official delegation from traveling to the Games but allowing athletes to compete in Beijing in 2022, reported Capitol Hill .

China has been rebuked globally for cracking down on Uyghur Muslims by sending them to mass detention camps and sending members of the community to undergo some sort of forcible re-education or indoctrination.

Early this year, the us became the primary country within the world to declare the Chinese actions in Xinjiang as "genocide".

In February, both the Canadian and Dutch parliaments adopted motions recognising the Uyghur crisis as genocide. The latter became the primary parliament in Europe to try to to so. In April, the uk also declared China's ongoing crackdown in Xinjiang a "genocide".
