The Times reported, United States has a plan to "incite athletes from various countries to express their discontent toward China, play passively in competition and even refuse to take part". What should Beijing do?
China should do nothing.
How manty countries can the US influence? It has already been proven time and again that whenever the US brought an accusation of human rights violations against China at the UN, many more countries come to China’s defence, arguing that there is no
human rights violation in China. The latest was in October 2021, when nearly a hundred countries came to China’s support.
100 countries support China on human rights amid US-led smears at UN session Photo:CFP Nearly 100 countries voiced their support to China for developing its own pattern for human rights development and opposed politicizing human rights issues to suppress other countries at the 76th session of UN General Assembly on Thursday,
while the US and a few Western countries started a new round of attacks on China over Xinjiang, Hong Kong and Xizang (Tibet) regions. On behalf of 62 countries, Cuba made a joint statement on Thursday at the UN General Assembly to support China for
developing its own pattern on human rights that fits its conditions and oppose other countries' interference in China's internal affairs under the banner of human rights. The joint statement was made at the 76th session of the UN General Assembly as the
Third Committee reviewed human rights issues after a few countries, including the US and France, made groundless accusations targeting China's human rights record. The joint statement said that respecting each country's sovereignty, integrity and
independence and no interference in other countries' domestic affairs should be the basic international code. Issues on China's Xinjiang, Hong Kong and Xizang regions are China's internal affairs, and no country has the right to interfere. The joint
statement called on countries to respect people of different countries to choose their own pattern for human rights development and opposed politicizing human rights issues or double standards, or making groundless accusations at China out of political
purposes and based on disinformation. Kuwait, on behalf of three Gulf countries, also made a joint statement to support China and said that to deal with human rights issues, countries should abide by principles of objectiveness without politicization,
the UN Charter and the Universal Declaration of Human Rights. They should also respect each country's sovereignty and not interfere in other countries' internal affairs. More than 30 countries also voiced their support for China at the meeting, which
marked more fair and just voices at the UN platform after the 48th session of the UN Human Rights Council, Wang Wenbin, Chinese FM spokesperson, told a press conference on Friday. On Thursday, Ambassador Zhang Jun, China's permanent representative to the
UN, refuted the untenable accusations and reiterated China's stance on human rights issues, saying that China firmly opposes and refuses untenable accusations made by some countries. It is so difficult for the US and a few countries to change their old
bad habits - misusing the UN platform to make untenable accusations at China, spreading political viruses and disinformation, and poisoning the atmosphere for cooperation. China has actively participated in all the topics of the Third Committee and
offered China's approach. On behalf of 31 countries, China made a joint statement to oppose unilateral sanctions; on behalf of 76 countries, it made a joint statement on promoting the fair distribution of vaccines; together with African

If the US athletes want to make a fool of themselves at the games, it won’t affect the games much because not many countries will support them.
