The participation of a significant percentage of countries in a true boycott would result in some of the world\u2019s top athletes withdrawing from the Olympics, thus delegitimizing the results.<\/p>\n<p>Calls to boycott the Olympics are a response to a long list of human rights atrocities currently occurring under the Chinese Communist Party. At the top of that list is the ongoing genocide of Uyghurs, Kazakhs, and Kyrgyz people in East Turkistan, an occupied regime China refers to as \u201cXinjiang.\u201d The dictatorship of Communist Party Chairman Xi Jinping is believed to have imprisoned as many as <a href=\"https:\/\/www.breitbart.com\/national-security\/2019\/05\/06\/feds-china-muslim-crackdown-number-detainees-may-have-tripled-less-than-1-year\/\">3 million<\/a> members of Muslim minority groups in concentration camps, where survivors <a href=\"https:\/\/www.breitbart.com\/asia\/2021\/11\/15\/exclusive-concentration-camp-survivor-china-killed-baby-unknown-surgery\/\">say<\/a> they have endured slavery, systematic rape, extensive torture, forced sterilization, and medical testing consistent with <a href=\"https:\/\/www.breitbart.com\/asia\/2021\/06\/14\/china-claims-miracle-surge-organ-donors\/\">live organ harvesting<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Biden Secretary of State Antony Blinken officially <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonpost.com\/national-security\/china-genocide-human-rights-report\/2021\/03\/30\/b2fa8312-9193-11eb-9af7-fd0822ae4398_story.html\">declared<\/a> the situation in Xinjiang a genocide in March, but Biden is not considering a boycott of the Olympics.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"M-ROS-B2\" class=\"a8d\"><\/figure>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\" readability=\"6.9763313609467\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">There&#8217;s a reason why the world is uniting to boycott the Communist Chinese Genocide Olympics. <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/cUBW8wl5Vn\">https:\/\/t.co\/cUBW8wl5Vn<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u2014 Breitbart News (@BreitbartNews) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/BreitbartNews\/status\/1432821109980815366?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">August 31, 2021<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Other human rights atrocities currently underway in China are similar genocidal actions in Tibet, widespread persecution and torture of \u201cillegal\u201d Christian groups, and the ongoing repression of the Falun Gong spiritual movement.
