Australia has joined the US in announcing a diplomatic boycott of the Beijing Winter Olympics over concerns about human rights abuses in China. This comes a few days after the Biden administration announced the decision not to send an official US delegation to the 2022 Winter Olympics in Beijing. The move marks an escalation of pressure by the US on China over reports of forced labour and human rights abuses in Xinjiang.
