Well, this is just my opinion, but these Americans should be allowed in by the Chinese authorities.
It is about being a gracious winner. Do the right thing.
We can say two things about this diplomatic boycott of the Winter Olympics Games in Beijing in a few weeks.
1) a diplomatic boycott is entirely symbolic, without real consequences
2) no one really even bothered to give that meaningless gesture, a gesture, as the list of who is doing this diplomatic boycott is about 5
Isn't there like over a 50 countries participating in the winter games? Only 5 would bother with these antics.
This is a clear diplomatic victory for the PRC.
Winners should be gracious.
Those Americans officials should be allowed in, but they must quarantine themselves.
The last time American officials came into China for a sporting event, the World Military games, after that, all hell broke loose with the pandemic.
