Instead of fully boycotting the event hosted by a country the White House calls genocidal, Biden is just going to cancel any official delegations and allow the athletes to carry on.<\/p>\n<p>As Josh Rogin wrote at the <i>Post<\/i>:<\/p>\n<blockquote readability=\"20\">\n<p>The Biden administration is trying to take a middle-of-the-road approach, said Michael Mazza, a nonresident fellow at the American Enterprise Institute. A diplomatic boycott, especially on a unilateral basis, is unlikely to improve Beijing\u2019s behavior. For that reason, more steps should be taken to use the Olympics as an opportunity to pressure China on human rights, he said.<\/p>\n<p>\u2018They are trying to thread the needle,\u2019 said Mazza. \u2018They are trying to make sure that with any actions they take, the burden doesn\u2019t fall on athletes. The Biden administration also wants to make sure they are not too far out on a limb compared to allies and partners.\u2019<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>During the virtual meeting Biden held with President Xi Jinping of the People\u2019s Republic of China, the White House <a href=\"https:\/\/www.whitehouse.gov\/briefing-room\/statements-releases\/2021\/11\/16\/readout-of-president-bidens-virtual-meeting-with-president-xi-jinping-of-the-peoples-republic-of-china\/\" target=\" _blank\" rel=\"noopener\">insisted<\/a> that \u201cPresident Biden raised concerns about the [People\u2019s Republic of China\u2019s] practices in Xinjiang, Tibet, and Hong Kong, as well as human rights more broadly.\u201d<\/p>\n<figure id=\"M-ROS-B2\" class=\"a8d\"><\/figure>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/president-joe-biden-meets-with-chinas-president-xi-jinping-during-a-picture-id1236590823\" alt=\"President Joe Biden meets with China&#039;s President Xi Jinping during a virtual summit from the Roosevelt Room of the White House in Washington, DC,...\" \/><\/p>\n<p><em>US President Joe Biden meets with China\u2019s President Xi Jinping during a virtual summit from the Roosevelt Room of the White House in Washington, DC, November 15, 2021.

Xi\u2019s regime has implemented a pervasive concentration camp system in Xinjiang, building at least 1,200 concentration camps in the region where as many as 3 million Uyghur people \u2014 and other minorities such as Kazakh and Kyrgyz people \u2014 have been forced to live.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe few survivors of the concentration camps who have chosen to speak out testify to being subject to brutal torture in the camps, including systematic rape and communist indoctrination. Evidence indicates Beijing has also enslaved much of the Uyghur population and forced them to travel nationwide for arduous agricultural and industrial labor,\u201d Martel added.<\/p>\n<p><i>Follow Warner Todd Huston on Facebook at: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/Warner.Todd.Huston\">facebook.com\/Warner.Todd.Huston<\/a><\/i>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>According to a report in the Washington Post, Joe Biden\u2019s White House is set to impose an empty \u201cdiplomatic\u201d boycott of the Olympics in China by refusing to send an &#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":180,"featured_media":2315279,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_mo_disable_npp":"","fifu_image_url":"","fifu_image_alt":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-1020792","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1020792","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/180"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1020792"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1020792\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/2315279"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1020792"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1020792"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1020792"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
