China has reacted angrily to the US government’s diplomatic boycott of next year’s Winter Olympics, as more countries said they would consider joining the protest over Beijing’s human rights record and New Zealand announced it would not send representatives to the Games.

Looks like Blackdog will be right.
Now we have to see if Europe has balls.
They don't, at least not consistently enough to make a difference. Besides all that they value their relations with China. We Americans are deemed expendable by their leaders.
UK and Canada next. The 5 eyes gang making love to each other.
