UK and Australia joined President Joe Biden's bid to boycott the Winter Olympics 2022, to be held in Beijing.

 

Tokyo: After several countries announced a diplomatic boycott of the Beijing Winter Olympics, a political analyst called on Tokyo to diplomatically shun the event and go 'beyond' it by stopping Japanese athletes from attending its opening ceremony.

"Japan must not tread the same path again," said a prominent Japanese academic and critic Masato Ushio in an article published by Forward Japan.

"At the very least, a diplomatic boycott. No, that's not enough. The athletes should also boycott the opening ceremony because the host nation's head of state makes the opening declaration during the ceremony," Masato said.

He also said that seeing Japanese athletes endorse a dictatorship like this would be intolerable.

The development comes after the UK and Australia joined President Joe Biden's bid to boycott the Winter Olympics 2022, to be held in Beijing.

France has also "well noted" the decision of the United States to diplomatically boycott the upcoming Olympics, and it will consult with European partners on the next step, a French foreign ministry spokesperson said on Tuesday.

According to CNN, the move marks an escalation of pressure by the US on China over allegations of forced labour and human rights abuses in China's western region of Xinjiang, particularly against the Uyghur population and other ethnic and religious minority groups.

The US is looking to send a "clear message" that the human rights abuses in China mean there cannot be "business as usual," White House press secretary Jen Psaki told media persons at a White House briefing.

Last month, President Joe Biden said he was weighing a diplomatic boycott as Democratic and Republican lawmakers, including House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, advocated for a protest of China's human rights abuses, CNN reported.
