The Biden administration’s diplomatic boycott of the 2022 Beijing Olympics is morally just. And it sends a righteous message to China.

Namely, the message that Beijing’s human rights practices are abhorrent and unacceptable. This move will embarrass the Chinese Communist Party, which wants nothing more than to champion China in an event that enjoys global television audiences in the billions. President Joe Biden’s move should thus be praised by both sides of the political aisle in the United States. Efforts to confront China’s human rights abuses and strategic aggression enjoy broad bipartisan support.
