with rumblings of a boycott and calls to move the games because of alleged human rights violations.
China has repeatedly denied human rights abuses. It at first said the camps for Uighurs didn't exist and then said they were job training centers to combat terrorism. These are precarious times for the Swiss-based IOC. Its finances — and those of 200 national Olympic committees and dozens of Olympic-related sports federations — have been shaken by the postponement of the Tokyo Olympics until 2021 because of COVID-19.
“Awarding the Olympic Games to a national Olympic committee does not mean that the IOC agrees with the political structure, social circumstances or human rights standards in the country,” the IOC said in an email to the AP. Murray Hiebert, a senior associate at the Center for Strategic and International Studies, said that such countries don't want to jeopardize their economic ties with China, including the infrastructure investment they get.
Mary Harvey, the CEO of the Swiss-based Centre for Sport and Human Rights, said athletes protesting against racism and inequality in the United States should have the same rights in Beijing, or in Tokyo.

Japon hükümeti Çin takımını reddetmedikçe, Çin Olimpiyat Komitesi takımı Tokyo Olimpiyatları ve Paralimpik Oyunları'na gönderecek. Japon hükümeti Çin takımını reddederse, Japon takımı 2022 Olimpik Kış Oyunlarına katılamayacak. Olimpiyatlar siyasi çatışmalardan etkileniyor.
China should lose the games for penance for Corona and their continued shame in allowing the Exotic Animal Trade to traffic in endangered species, bringing those animals to the brink of extinction, and continuing to risk introducing new Pathogens into civilization.
