Spokesman accuses Washington of ‘hyping diplomatic boycott without even being invited’
China has said a potential diplomatic boycott of the forthcoming Beijing Winter Olympics by the Biden administration is “a stain on the spirit of the Olympic charter” and “sensationalist and politically manipulative”, in what appears to be a further rift in the already strained bilateral relations.
CNN reported on Monday that the Biden administration was expected this week to announce a diplomatic boycott of the Games by not sending US government officials to China.
