Washington/Beijing: On Dec 6, China’s foreign ministry said that the U.S. politicians should stop calling for a diplomatic boycott of the Beijing Winter Olympics to avoid hurting bilateral ties and China will take “countermeasures” if necessary. It was reported on Sunday that the Biden administration would announce the acceptance or refusal to attend the 2022 Olympics in Beijing this week. “If the U.S. insists on wilfully clinging to its course, China will take resolute countermeasures,” Zhao Lijian, China’s foreign ministry spokesman stated.
