In its <a href=\"https:\/\/www.hrw.org\/world-report\/2019\/country-chapters\/china-and-tibet\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">2018 report<\/a>, the group reported that China has \u201cdramatically stepped up repression and systematic abuses against the 13 million Turkic Muslims, including Uyghurs and ethnic Kazakhs, in China\u2019s northwestern Xinjiang region.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/supporters-of-chinas-muslim-uighur-minority-wave-flag-of-east-and-picture-id1189663360\" alt=\"Supporters of China&#039;s Muslim Uighur minority wave flag of East Turkestan and hold placards on December 20, 2019 during a demostration at Fatih in...\" \/><\/p>\n<p><em>Supporters of China\u2019s Muslim Uighur minority wave flag of East Turkestan and hold placards on December 20, 2019, during a demonstration at Fatih in Istanbul.

According to a recent <a href=\"https:\/\/www.breitbart.com\/asia\/2021\/12\/01\/olympics-sponsor-airbnb-doing-business-chinas-genocide-region\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">review<\/a>, Airbnb sponsors rental properties in towns in China\u2019s Xinjiang region where Chinese officials who manage the forced labor camps live. On the other hand, Airbnb is an opponent of American immigration laws and a proponent of open borders. In 2018, for instance, the company <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cnbc.com\/2018\/01\/30\/airbnb-trolls-president-trump-ahead-of-the-state-of-the-union.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">launched<\/a> a campaign attacking Donald Trump for tightening immigration rules and attempting to secure the southern U.S. border.<\/p>\n<p><b>Allianz<\/b>: The Germany-based multinational financial firm has been one of the few corporations to defend its participation in the China Olympics. Recently the company hid behind the ideals of the Olympics but refused to actually address its support for China\u2019s genocidal actions. In Nov. the company <a href=\"https:\/\/www.breitbart.com\/news\/sponsors-asked-to-defend-support-for-beijing-winter-olympics\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">said<\/a>, \u201cWe stand behind the Olympic Movement, and our longstanding support for its ideals will not waver.\u201d<\/p>\n<figure id=\"M-ROS-B3\" class=\"a8d adSo\"><\/figure>\n<p><b>Atos<\/b>: The French Information Technology company is a stout Olympics supporter and has helped China build its digital IT infrastructure for the Olympics and beyond.

The company issued dozens of press releases mentioning its support for the Tokyo Games, but its mentions of China\u2019s have been sparse. Still, in one note in June, Bridgestone <a href=\"https:\/\/bridgestone.mediaroom.com\/index.php?s=20295&amp;item=122432\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">praised<\/a> China as a \u201csporting powerhouse\u201d and noted how excited it was to use its Olympics sponsorship to \u201cconnect with Chinese consumers.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><b>Coca-Cola<\/b>: During the Black Lives Matter era, Coke became one of the most woke American corporations of them all, with proclamations attacking America over <a href=\"https:\/\/www.breitbart.com\/economy\/2021\/05\/04\/coca-cola-puts-brakes-diversity-plan-after-top-lawyer-resigns\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">social justice<\/a>, its <a href=\"https:\/\/www.breitbart.com\/social-justice\/2021\/02\/22\/claim-coca-cola-antiracism-training-tells-workers-try-to-be-less-white\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">campaigns<\/a> calling its white employees and customers racists, and its CEOs <a href=\"https:\/\/www.breitbart.com\/politics\/2021\/04\/02\/coca-cola-faces-harsh-backlash-after-ceo-blasts-georgia-election-laws-patriots-will-choose-another-beverage\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">bloviation<\/a> that Georgians are racists for voting for Republicans. On the other hand, Coke does not seem as willing to criticize China for its oppressive regime and has not said a word to explain why it is sponsoring the China games in the face of the country\u2019s horrid record on human rights.<br \/><b>Intel<\/b>: Silicon Valley giant Intel might fit right in with China\u2019s campaign to put an end to free speech. The computing giant recently <a href=\"https:\/\/www.breitbart.com\/tech\/2021\/04\/12\/intel-introduces-bleep-ai-to-censor-offensive-speech\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">announced<\/a> an artificial intelligence-based program that could be used to delete \u201cracist\u201d and \u201coffensive\u201d speech online. The company\u2019s list of \u201coffensive\u201d speech is a left-winger\u2019s wet dream as it squelches any criticism of the radical LGBTQ agenda, and attacks what it calls \u201cwhite nationalism.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><b>Omega<\/b>: Swiss watchmaker Omega has been the \u201cofficial timekeeper\u201d for the games for several years. Recently, though, the company chose to ignore American efforts to organize a boycott of the \u201cgenocide\u201d games. After calls were made for Omega to address China\u2019s human rights abuses, all the company would <a href=\"https:\/\/www.newsweek.com\/omega-shrugs-off-olympic-boycott-controversy-us-sponsors-lie-low-1658391\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">say<\/a> was, \u201cOur role at this event is Official Timekeeper, a vital position we have proudly fulfilled at the Olympic Games since 1932.

Samsung went on to exclaim that it hopes to become \u201ca corporation that contributes to the Chinese society and is loved by people of China.\u201d It, too, though, has rebuffed calls to comment on China\u2019s actual record of human rights abuses.<\/p>\n<p><b>Toyota<\/b>: The Japanese carmaker that only six months ago was quick to chastise its own country by <a href=\"https:\/\/www.breitbart.com\/news\/sponsor-toyota-says-no-tv-ads-during-tokyo-olympics\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">pulling<\/a> its TV ads during the Tokyo Olympics has studiously remained quiet about the genuine human rights abuses in China. Toyota is not averse to making political statements, though. For example, this year, the carmaker proudly <a href=\"https:\/\/www.breitbart.com\/politics\/2021\/07\/08\/toyota-caves-cease-donations-republicans-opposed-election-certification\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">announced<\/a> that it would no longer donate money to specific Republican candidates because of their racist objections to the 2020 election results.<\/p>\n<p><b>Visa<\/b>: The credit card giant has no qualms about shutting down the financial lives of Americans with its efforts to disenfranchise conservatives by <a href=\"https:\/\/www.breitbart.com\/tech\/2019\/01\/02\/bokhari-the-terrifying-rise-of-financial-blacklisting\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">canceling<\/a> their credit services, but Visa is not so interested in standing up against China\u2019s Uyghur genocide. The financial services company has joined most of the other China Olympics sponsors in a refusal to make any statements about China\u2019s human rights abuses.<\/p>\n<p>The pressure remains on these companies to speak up and explain themselves.
