The United States won’t offer a serious boycott of the 2022 Beijing Winter Olympics, but guess who can? Every single one of us.

The U.S. will diplomatically boycott the games, which means state officials such as President Joe Biden won’t be there, as if that makes any difference. There will be U.S. athletes competing, and China has an opportunity to shine on the global stage. That doesn’t mean we have to watch the games. Citizens of the world have a great opportunity to make China an international embarrassment once again. We should take that opportunity.
