The Chinese Communist Party <a href=\"https:\/\/www.breitbart.com\/asia\/2021\/12\/07\/youre-not-invited-china-laughs-off-joe-bidens-olympics-half-measure\/\">responded<\/a> to Biden by noting this fact and adding that the Chinese government never invited American politicians to the event, so they can\u2019t actually \u201cboycott\u201d it.<\/p>\n<p>The Communist Party\u2019s crimes against ethnic and religious minorities in East Turkistan, a region China refers to as the Xinjiang Uyghur Autonomous Region (XUAR), and elsewhere include \u201cmass incarceration, slave labor, systematic rape, forced abortions and sterilizations, torture and wholesale murder,\u201d Littlejohn declared, and merit much more action.<\/p>\n<p>Littlejohn \u2014 president of Women\u2019s Rights Without Frontiers and co-chair of the Stop the Genocide Games Task Force \u2014 said that politicians not attending the Games is a \u201cnecessary, but grossly insufficient, response to a Chinese regime guilty of the most egregious and murderous oppression in world history.\u201d<\/p>\n<figure id=\"M-ROS-B2\" class=\"a8d\"><\/figure>\n<p>\u201cInevitably, such a response will only embolden the CCP to further \u2013 and probably far more devastating\u2013 criminal misconduct, both at home and abroad,\u201d she warned.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe 2022 Olympics in Beijing look ominously similar to the 1936 Games held in Berlin, Germany,\u201d Littlejohn stated. \u201cLike in 1936, we are confronting another totalitarian regime actively engaging in genocide. We must not make the mistake again of allowing a genocidal regime to glory in hosting the world\u2019s most prestigious international event.\u201d<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_18768866\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\" readability=\"37\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-18768866\" src=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/GettyImages-1236590646.jpg\" alt width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" \/><\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-caption-text\">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.
