State Department Backs Off US Boycotting Beijing Winter Olympics as China Threatens “Robust Response”
China has once again beat the US into submission.
The State Department backed off of talks of the US boycotting the Beijing Winter Olympics as China threatened a “robust” response.
State Department spokesman Ned Price on Tuesday said a boycott is something that the US wishes to discuss with our allies.
“It is something that we certainly wish to discuss,” Price said, “A coordinated approach will not only be in our interest but also in the interest of our allies and partners.”

“The politicization of sports will damage the spirit of the Olympic Charter and the interests of athletes from all countries,” China’s Foreign Ministry spokesman Zhao Lijian said,
