During a House hearing on Tuesday, the Democrat said, \u201cwe cannot proceed as if nothing is wrong about the Olympics going to China.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>She went on to cite a number of countries that have called for action to move or boycott the Games because of human rights abuses. However, Pelosi\u2019s strategy for combating China\u2019s violations of human rights is preventing lawmakers from attending, but allowing athletes to continue to participate.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_2409146\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-2409146\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\" wp-image-2409146\" src=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/olympics-655x437-1.jpg\" alt=\"FILE - In this Feb. 2, 2021, file photo, the Olympic rings are visible atop the Olympic Tower in Beijing. Groups alleging human-rights abuses in China are calling for a full boycott of the Beijing Olympics, which is sure to ratchet up pressure on the International Olympic Committee, athletes, sponsors, and sports federations. A coalition of activists representing Uyghurs, Tibetans, residents of Hong Kong and others, issued a statement Monday, May 17, 2021 calling for the \u201cfull boycott,\u201d eschewing lesser measures like \u201cdiplomatic boycotts&quot; and negotiations with the IOC or China.

Chris Smith (R-N.J.) also weighed in on the matter saying, \u201cin granting Beijing host status for the Olympic Games, we are crowning a barbarous regime with laurels while we should be condemning their abuse and genocide.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The Beijing Games are scheduled to start in the beginning of February 2022. China has denied all claims pertaining to any crimes against Uyghurs, and continue to back their idea that forced labor camps are workforce training programs.<\/p>\n<h4>MORE NEWS: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.oann.com\/robert-durst-appears-in-court-for-first-time-in-14-months\/\">Robert Durst Appears In Court For First Time In 14 Months<\/a><\/h4>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., speaks during the signing ceremony of the COVID-19 Hate Crime Act, on Capitol Hill in Washington, Wednesday, May 19. 2021.
