The Ugly American Way

by Stephen Lendman

Hegemon USA finds new and repeats old ways to humiliate itself on the world stage.

On Monday, Biden regime press secretary Psaki said the following:

It "will not send any diplomatic or official representation to the 2022 Beijing Winter Olympics."

Claiming it's because of alleged "genocide and crimes against humanity" ignored that these and other Chinaphobic accusations were invented in similar fashion to how hegemon USA falsely accuses other nations of all sorts of made up stuff because they're free from its control.

Hosted by Beijing, events from February 4 - 20 will be held in its National Stadium and at venues in neighboring Hebei province.

Paralympic Winter Games will be held on March 4-13.

The hostile Biden regime's action won't prohibit US athletes from competing in the games.

In response to the US affront, China's Foreign Ministry spokesman Zhao Lijian responded strongly, saying:

"The US has been fabricating the biggest lie of the century about so-called 'genocide' in Xinjiang, but it has long been debunked by facts."

"Based on its ideological biases as well as lies and rumors, the US attempts to interfere with the Beijing Winter Olympics, which will only expose its malicious intention and make it loose more moral principles and credibility." 

"(G)enocide (applies to the) US (more) than anyone else for (its) evil crimes committed against Native Americans."

Boycotting the 2022 Winter Olympics "gravely violates the principle of political neutrality enshrined in the Olympic Charter."

It breaches "the Olympic motto of 'together' and stands on the opposite side of global athletes and sports fans." 

"China deplores and firmly opposes remarks of the US side and has lodged stern representations with the (Biden regime) and will respond with firm countermeasures."

"The Winter Olympics is not a stage for political posturing and manipulation." 

"According to Olympic rules, officials are invited by their respective National Olympic Committee to attend the Olympic Games." 

"Whether US officials come to the Beijing Winter Olympics and root for their own athletes is (their) own business." 

"The Beijing Winter Olympics is a major event for global winter sports athletes and lovers. They should be in the spotlight." 

"The international community including the IOC highly recognizes China's preparation, and foreign athletes including a great number of American athletes are eager to come to China for the Games." 

"We…will deliver a streamlined, safe and splendid Olympics to the world."

"The US should stop politicizing sports, and stop disrupting and undermining the Beijing Winter Olympics, lest it should affect bilateral dialogue and cooperation in important areas and international and regional issues."

According to China's Global Times, an official Biden regime boycott of the games cannot be staged because neither the White House imposter or other US officials were invited to attend.

Russia's Olympic Committee responded weakly to the unacceptable US action, calling it "counterproductive" in lieu of a strongly worded denunciation.

Separately, Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov called the affront "negative."

Spokesman for China's US embassy, Lie Pengyu, called the Biden regime's action "a political manipulation," adding that it'll have no impact on Chinese efforts for a successful Winter Games.

China's Xinhua called the undiplomatic move "no more than a self-invented and politically convenient excuse for Washington."

"Such a move, based on lies and political hostility, will not stand in the way of the Olympic Games but will only be remembered as a move by some politicians who put their self-interests before the pursuit of peace and unity of humanity."

Asked on Monday if US officials in China will attend the games, interventionist Blinken's spokesman Price changed the subject.
