“Let's not honor the Chinese government by having heads of state go to China. For heads of state to go to China in light of a genocide that is ongoing - while you're sitting there in your seat - really begs the question, what moral authority do you have to speak again about human rights any place in the world?”

“The excuse for the boycott is false. China has released more and more facts to respond to the stigmatization. Two or three months later, those Westerners who are keen to stigmatize China will get bored, and their lies will become even less convincing. Not many countries would follow the US, if it really tries to boycott the game. To persuade liars is not the job of the victim of stigmatization or 'big lie diplomacy'. If the US and a few countries dare to boycott the Olympics next year, China doesn't need to waste time to change their minds. They will find themselves isolated in the international community, and the athletes of their countries will be the victims. The boycott will also be criticized by the International Olympic Committee, and will be seriously retaliated against by China.”

“As I said, we don't have any announcement regarding the Beijing Olympics. 2022 remains a ways off, but we will continue to consult closely with allies and partners to define our common concerns and establish our shared approach to the PRC [People's Republic of China].”

“Given the modern realities of Chinese global economic integration, today we can expect much more resistance to the boycott idea. Washington could well find itself the majorette for a marching band that is going in an entirely different direction. Most major states will participate in the 2022 Winter Olympics… One key difference between now and 2008 is that today's China feels much stronger diplomatically and economically than it did more than a decade ago.”
