Because China and Kazakhstan were the only countries who bid for the games and China was the only one who could afford them.
I can’t think of any winter sport the CCP excels at!
Interesting. Hitler hosted the Olympics in 1936, just before he plunged the world into a world war..
Short track speed skating. They and South Korea.
Winter Olympics Need To Be Moved From Beijing
Democrat party isn’t going to like that they will have to give up their box seats and trinkets Pelosi and Joe make calls.
Salt Lake City can host the Olympics in a flash. The last time was a success.
Willard Romney was the committee chairman.
No, don’t move it. Just don’t go. Olympics are terribly expensive — like some recent releases of Disney+ after its script has been approved by the CCP. Don’t go, don’t give them your money. Let this albatross bancrupt (sp?) them. Starve the beast, it is a practice that anyone can use and it does work.
I haven’t watched the Olympics since the 70s other than a pause or two channel surfing. They’re such a farce.
The Biden administration has their head so far up China's A$$ they could check for bowel cancer.
America should send a message and not go.
They are also suppressing Christians, Buddists and every other person that does not conform.
China at the 2018 Winter Olympics (which were held just across the bay in South Korea)
China competed at the 2018 Winter Olympics in PyeongChang, South Korea, from 9 to 25 February 2018. China competed in 12 sports, participating in bobsleigh, skeleton and ski jumping for the first time. Liu Jiayu won a silver medal in Women’s halfpipe, the first ever medal in snowboarding for China. Gao Tingyu won a bronze medal in the Men’s 500m speed skating event and became the first male speed skater from China to win a medal in Olympic speed skating. Wu Dajing won a gold medal in the Men’s 500 m short track speed skating event and became the first male short track speed skater from China to win a gold medal in Olympic short track speed skating. He also broke the world record. With Beijing being the host of the 2022 Winter Olympics, a Chinese segment was performed at the closing ceremony. Those 2022 Winter Olympics will make Beijing the first city to host both a Winter and Summer Olympics, after they hosted the 2008 Summer Olympics. China won 9 medals in total.
I think the Olympics are all about having something that transcends politics. Boycotting is a statement that politics triumphs other earthly concerns.
