The official start of the 2022 Winter Olympics in Beijing is one year from today. While the International Olympic Committee (IOC) was promoting the countdown with short videos of participating athletes during prime time yesterday in China’s state media, US President Joe Biden is reportedly preparing a US boycott of the Olympics. „Advisers to Biden are currently observing European governments to see if they would support the boycott,“ Wirtschaftswoche reported, citing diplomatic circles. The White House spokeswoman did not confirm this. In Europe, reactions have been reserved so far.
