Biden should follow Senate lead on canceling 2022 China Olympics

Published February 3, 2021 8:48pm ET



During the 2020 presidential campaign, Joe Biden pledged to put human rights at the forefront of his foreign policy. Then-President Donald Trump, Biden claimed, had befriended dictators to the detriment of sacred American values.

If the new president were honest about that commitment, he would associate his words with action. For a start, Biden should endorse the resolution newly introduced by Republican Sens. Rick Scott of Florida and Todd Young of Indiana to strip China of the 2022 winter Olympic Games. Biden should then call on Senate Democrats to offer their own support of that resolution.
