Human rights activists and the victims of Chinese communism have urged the world to boycott the Games in protest against China\u2019s lost list of human rights atrocities, at the top of which is the genocide of the Uyghur people of East Turkistan. Despite the calls, no country has committed to boycotting the Olympics.<\/p>\n<p>The governments of a handful of Western nations recently announced a \u201cdiplomatic boycott\u201d of the Games in which politicians do not attend the event. A \u201cdiplomatic boycott\u201d is not a boycott because diplomats do not participate in the Olympics and their absence does not in any way affect the event.
