<![CDATA[China Attacks US Diplomatic Boycott of Winter Games as 'Travesty' of Olympic Spirit]]>
Fei Ling Wang, professor in the Sam Nunn School of International Affairs, appeared on the RN Breakfast program, a production of the Australian Broadcasting Corp., on Dec. 8, 2021, to discuss the U.S. decision to stage a diplomatic boycott of the upcoming Winter Olympics in China.
Wang, an expert on China, discussed the U.S. decision, the possibility other nations may follow suit, and China's reaction.
An excerpt:
"China does have a right to be angry. But I think the anger is a little bit exaggerated because China itself did participate in similar politicization of the Olympics back in 1980, for example. So I think this time the American move actually is pretty major and highly symbolic."
