EU delegates call for boycott of Winter Games

The European Parliament advocates a diplomatic boycott of the Winter Olympics in Beijing. The EU Commission, the EU Council and member states must reject invitations from government representatives and diplomats to take part in the 2022 Winter Games, outlines the cross-party draft resolution, which MEPs will vote on Thursday. “Unless the Chinese government demonstrates a notable improvement in the human rights situation in Hong Kong, the Xinjiang Uighur region, Tibet, Inner Mongolia and elsewhere in China,” the draft says.
