The Washington Post’s editorial page editor claims an economic boycott of the 2022 Winter Olympics is mandatory so that major corporations can make China aware that human rights matter.
Here again, we have an opinion piece that misses the mark: The Chinese people already have indicated to H&M, among other companies, that attempting economic blackmail against their country will not work.
Carrying out such an effort on the Olympic stage could lead to the companies facing massive sanctions by China’s government and its people.
