- Note from Nighthawk.NZ:
Just threatening to take "countermeasures" to any country that boycott's is enough for me to just boycott the Bejing Olympics. If you start threatening like it doesn't help people then start to dig their heels in and stick to their word...
Personally while the CCP are in power they should have never got the rights to host either the summer or winter Olympics after the way the treat other countries, and especially the way they treating the Uyghurs and slowly performing genocide on them. CCP can get fucked.
