Calls for Olympic boycott[edit]

Further information: Concerns and controversies at the 2022 Winter Olympics and Uyghur genocide

On 22 February 2021, U.S. Representative John Katko from New York called for a United States boycott of the 2022 Olympic Games, citing human rights concerns and the Chinese Communist Party's actions against the country's own Uyghur population, including displacement and imprisonment of civilians in the Xinjiang internment camps. Representative Katko published an open letter recommending a boycott[4] to the House Committee on Homeland Security, as well as President Biden, National Security Advisor Jake Sullivan, U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken, Secretary of Homeland Security Alejandro Mayorkas and the International Olympic Committee. In the open letter, Katko cites an earlier 19 January 2021 statement from then-serving U.S. Secretary of State Mike Pompeo, in which Pompeo stated that, "since at least March 2017, the People’s Republic of China (PRC), under the direction and control of the Chinese Communist Party (CCP), has committed crimes against humanity against the predominantly Muslim Uyghurs and other members of ethnic and religious minority groups in Xinjiang."[5]

Former United States Ambassador to the United Nations, Republican Nikki Haley, announced her support of a possible boycott, authoring a 25 February 2021 op-ed for Fox News titled "Amb. Nikki Haley: Biden should boycott China's Winter Olympics next year",[6] comparing the government and ideology of Nazi Germany to that of "Communist China", urging President Biden to boycott the Olympics in collaboration with American-allied nations. Haley further compares the future 2022 Beijing Games to the 1936 Berlin Olympics, the last Olympics to be held before the outbreak of World War II.

In an unrelated interview on 5 March 2021, former Secretary Pompeo stated that the United States should withdraw from the 2022 Olympic Games.[7] In an interview with conservative talk radio host Hugh Hewitt, Pompeo cited "nasty activity" by the Chinese government as evidence to support a boycott.

In a Politico article published on 10 March 2021,[8] Texas Senator Ted Cruz spoke against a possible boycott, stating, "I don’t think we should be punishing athletes who have spent their entire lives training. We should go to Beijing, compete, and win.” Florida Senator Marco Rubio previously signed a resolution[9] authored by Senator Rick Scott which "demanded the International Olympic Committee move the 2022 Winter Olympics out of Communist China", but also refused to support a boycott, stating that he did not make a formal decision yet. Democratic Senator Ben Cardin, a ranking member of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, stated that "It’s important that we use every opportunity to advance global support against what China is doing", recognizing that "[boycotting the 2022 Olympics] may be not a realistic path forward, but it’s certainly something we should be talking about.”

On 15 March 2021, the New York Times published an op-ed by U.S. Senator and former 2012 Republican presidential candidate, Mitt Romney, titled "The Right Way to Boycott the Beijing Olympics." In the piece, Romney stated that the United States should pursue a partial "economic and diplomatic boycott" of the Olympics, with athletes participating in the games but "limiting spectators, selectively shaping our respective delegations and refraining from broadcasting Chinese propaganda." Romney ends the piece criticizing the International Olympic Committee for their selection of host countries, commenting that "In authoritarian states, the Olympics has more often been a tool of propaganda than a lever of reform."

Let us demonstrate our repudiation of China’s abuses in a way that will hurt the Chinese Communist Party rather than our American athletes: reduce China’s revenues, shut down their propaganda, and expose their abuses. An economic and diplomatic boycott of the Beijing Olympics — while proceeding with the Games — is the right answer.

Mitt Romney, "The Right Way to Boycott the Beijing Olympics", published by The New York Times

On 19 October 2021, American figure skater Evan Bates described the situation in Xinjiang as "terrible" and "awful", which Vincent Zhou and Nathan Chen, skaters of Chinese descent, echoing Bates' statement over the human rights situation in Xinjiang.[10]

A boycott of the 2022 Olympic Games would be the second American-led boycott of the modern Olympic Games. The United States and 65 other nations[11] boycotted the 1980 Summer Olympics, which were held in Moscow, Soviet Union, in present-day Russia. The bloc cited the Soviet Invasion of Afghanistan as their rationale to boycott the event, with the United States hosting a track and field event named the Liberty Bell Classic to substitute for the event, with China in attendance.[12] Four years later, the Soviet Union and 14 of its allies then boycotted the 1984 Summer Olympics,[13] which were held in Los Angeles, United States. The Soviet-allied countries then substituted the 1984 Olympics by organizing the Friendship Games (which was attended by China). The Friendship Games were held in a variety of venues, including the Soviet Union, Bulgaria, Czechoslovakia (now the Czech Republic and Slovakia), Cuba, Hungary, Mongolia, Poland and East Germany (now Germany). Despite participating in the Friendship Games, China also participated at the 1984 Summer Olympics in Los Angeles.[citation needed]

On 6 December 2021, President Biden announced that the United States will diplomatically boycott the Olympic Games. Unlike a complete boycott, it will not have any impact for any athletes from the United States attending the Winter Games.[14]
