The speaker pitched the diplomatic boycott during a joint hearing before the Tom Lantos Human Rights Commission and Congressional-Executive Commission on China. Members of both parties highlighted the pitfalls of letting Chinese President Xi Jinping secure the athletic showcase amid the detention of Muslim Uyghurs in western provinces and other atrocities.
Lantos commission co-chairmen Chris Smith, New Jersey Republican, and Jim McGovern, Massachusetts Democrat, said the IOC should try to find a new venue altogether.
Mr. McGovern said if the Tokyo Summer Games can be postponed for a year on short notice due to a pandemic, then the international community can put the winter games on ice to find a new city.

In 2022, the Winter Games will descend on Beijing, China’s polluted capital, giving everyone that
weren’t we just here? feeling. The world can once more expect to be equally horrified and dazzled by the sheer level of control China exerts over its population.
Only one force on the planet stirred a sort of trembling adoration in China, but he’s sadly no longer president. Now, western liberalism is pathetically left trying to nag China into submission, with China mostly not even noticing. A soon-to-be failed, Republican-led attempt to boycott the Beijing Winter Games is under way that has the party split along seemingly surprising lines.

Beijing plans to release an action plan for the protection of Beijing 2022 Winter Olympics intellectual property rights, a government official said recently.
As the Beijing Winter Games draw near, intellectual property rights protection is advancing smoothly, said Pan Xinsheng, spokesperson and deputy director of the Beijing Municipal Intellectual Property Office, at a news conference last week.
According to Pan, the office has received patent, copyright, and trademark applications for the emblems, mascot and logo for volunteers.
The number of patents per 10,000 people reached about 156 last year in Beijing, ranking first in China. Beijing was granted 163,000 patents in 2020, including 63,000 new inventions and 363,000 trademarks registered out of 565,000 applications.
