No One Outside Of China Allowed To Attend 2022 Winter Games In Beijing

2021-09-30

[DailyWire] The International Olympic Committee said on Wednesday that the only people allowed to attend the 2022 Winter Games in Beijing, China, are those who live in China.

Whooosh! There goes any chance of local businesses making any profits to offset the horrendous cost of building the central stadium and other sports venues.

“Tickets will be sold exclusively to spectators residing in China’s mainland, who meet the requirements of the COVID-19 countermeasures,” the IOC said. “Specific requirements on COVID-19 countermeasures for spectators from China’s mainland and the details of ticketing arrangements are under discussion and development, and will be released to the public in due course once they are finalized.”

Not that we’d be silly enough to risk our health by going there now, but it will be interesting to see how China deals with forged Covid passports from the folks at home.

The measures were put in place after consultations with international experts and the Chinese authorities, the release said.

There have been widespread calls for the U.S. and U.S. companies to boycott the 2022 Winter Olympics over communist China’s oppression of religious minorities in the country.

Oh? Possibly this isn’t about infection, but merely saving face when nobody comes to their party.

“Our position on the 2022 Olympics has not changed,” White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki said earlier this year of Democrat President Joe Biden’s position on the 2022 Winter Olympics. “We have not discussed, and are not discussing any joint boycott with allies and partners.”

Because dissing the people who hold his reins would be impolite.

The move comes as international pressure is once again in ramping up from the World Health Organization and other entities to get to the bottom of the origins of the coronavirus pandemic.

The People’s Liberation Army scientists dunnit, with some funding and connivance from Dr. Anthony Fauci and his arrogantly foolish little friends in the American government. What’s your next question, O Daily Wire journalist?

“A new team of about 20 scientists—including specialists in laboratory safety and biosecurity and geneticists and animal-disease experts versed in how viruses spill over from nature—is being assembled with a mandate to hunt for new evidence in China and elsewhere,” The Wall Street Journal reported. “The possibilities that the new team is charged with examining include whether the Covid-19 virus could have emerged from a lab,

...yes. Next?

according to WHO officials, a hypothesis that has especially angered China.”

Given that they invested heavily in WHO personnel, they no doubt feel they’ve bought the right to be angry.

The new effort comes after Beijing restricted the WHO’s first investigation into the origins of the pandemic, refusing to hand over raw patient data from early cases to investigators. China has sought to deflect attention over the possibility that the pandemic started in one of China’s labs that had serious safety issues by falsely blaming the United States, claiming without evidence that the coronavirus could have come from a lab in the U.S.

#13 Down a dollar.

Sure it will be on the up and up, just like the opening ceremony for the Summer Olympics they hosted. I will miss Bob Costas doing Total Recall face.

Oh dear. You have lived this long and not figured out that Communists lie? You’re adorable.

#7 Not a problem. And for solidarity, I won't watch either.
(I wouldn't anyway, but posturing's the thing, so...)

#6 Presumably that means all the judges (and participants?) will also be Chinese?

#5 I guess the Chinese, creators of C19, know the virus won't resemble the common cold in 2022.

#3 I'm not sure how that could be forged.

Dude, it's ones and zeros. Plus, humans are in the loop which means cheating, corruption and "favors".

As for the article, how is this not the Bee? Seriously.

???

China is the safest place in the world from the virus.

The "vaccine passports" aren't paper books. Inside Alipay app is a "health code" function. The authorities scan the code and if a virus carrier is later found to be near you, your code turns colors and you can be found or quarantined. I'm not sure how that could be forged.
