Brussels : The European Parliament is reported to have announced a boycott of the Beijing Winter Olympics in 2022. European Parliament lawmakers have agreed that we should not accept China’s invitation to participate in the 2022 Winter Olympics because of human rights abuses.
These lawmakers have demanded from their governments that they should impose more restrictions on China’s behavior towards Uighur Muslims. Said that European countries should support supporters of democracy in Hong Kong.
Many resolutions passed against China
The European Parliament has passed several resolutions against China. The resolutions that have been passed also include banning Hong Kong government officials. There has also been a call for an immediate end to the extradition treaty with China and a diplomatic boycott of the Beijing Olympics.
Germany’s Reinhard Butikofer, chairman of the Chinese delegation to the European Parliament, said that the consensus on these issues in the European Parliament is very strong. We will fight to ensure that Member State Governments in Europe also take a firm stand
European countries not obliged to accept the proposal
However, the member country is not bound to accept this resolution of the European Parliament.

Despite increasing criticism of China in the European Union, many European governments have been hesitant to direct confrontation.
China said, the interests of the Olympics will be harmed
Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesman Wang Wenbin said on the proposal that China strongly opposes the politicization of sport and interference in our internal affairs by using human rights issues as an excuse. He said that attempts to sabotage and sabotage the preparation and organization of the Beijing Winter Olympic Games for political reasons are extremely irresponsible. China said it would only harm the interests of athletes from all countries and the International Olympics.
