China threatens the US with retaliation over diplomatic boycott of Winter Olympics
CNN
China has threatened the Biden administration with retaliation over its decision to impose a diplomatic boycott of the 2022 Winter Olympics in Beijing, warning the move could damage bilateral relations.
The Biden administration said Monday it would not send an official United States delegation to the Beijing Winter Games as a statement against China's "ongoing genocide and crimes against humanity in Xinjiang." US athletes will still be allowed to compete in the Games.
Prior to the official announcement, Beijing warned it would take "resolute countermeasures" against Washington if the diplomatic boycott went ahead.
