And there will be no problems whatsoever.

It's 2021, and the Olympic Games are almost upon us!

No, I'm not talking about the 2020 summer olympics in Tokyo that were postponed to 2021

And which Japanese people are mostly opposed to holding at all now—because of Covid.

No, I'm talking about the much anticipated 2022 Olympics in Beijing!

Yes, the Winter Olympics—the forgotten stepchild of the good Olympics.

This month marks one year out from the Beijing 2022 Winter Olympics.

And according to Chinese state-run media, it's just received a vote of confidence!

Which is the only vote that's allowed in China.

Like how the mountains near Beijing don't...have...snow.

But that's only a minor problem for Beijing—according to this state-run media video.

"The National Alpine Skiing Center has been built at an altitude of 2,198 meters with

You can just cover your bare mountain slopes in artificial snow, and no one will be the

And that's definitely not a metaphor for anything else that happens in communist China.

It's like how ahead of the 2008 Olympics, they spray painted the grass green.

At least there was grass there in the first place. 

So I say, why bother to even make fake snow for 2022—when you can just spray paint the

This way you can have the Winter Olympics and the X Games all in one!

Of course, there's one other pesky little problem with the 2022 Winter Olympics: A lot

of human rights groups want to boycott it.

As Hong Kong Free Press put it last week, “China will host the first genocide Olympics”.

It's actually the second Genocide Olympics.

The first one was when Beijing held the Olympics in 2008.

But at least Beijing will be the first city in the world to host both a Summer and Winter

And for all those who are concerned, don't worry: There won't be any genocide happening

It will be happening at the *same time* as the Olympics, but in a totally different part

Where we can all ignore it while talking about how impressive the opening ceremony is.

Nonetheless, the calls for a boycott are growing. 

Last week, a group of UK Members of Parliament from across the political spectrum called

for a boycott of the 2022 Beijing Winter Games.

As MP Ed Davey put it, “Our brightest and best athletes should not be forced to be part

of a propaganda exercise for the Chinese Communist party while it tries to wipe the Uighur people

They're calling for British athletes to simply not participate, unless the 2022 Olympics

is moved to another country that doesn't have these kinds of human rights abuses.

I know, it's hard to move the Olympics only one year out.

But there *are* other cities that already have all the infrastructure for the Winter

Olympics...and totally different kinds of human rights abuses.

See, the ones in Russia were the Gulag Games.

I hope you realize by now that no matter how bad human right abuses get, the International

Olympics Committee really doesn't give a hoot.

Because as the former head of the IOC once said, “we stand for human rights...but we

That's from the same 2007 interview where he said he believed the upcoming 2008 Beijing

Olympic Games would “be a force for good.”

Anyway, there are still calls for a boycott of the Beijing 2022 Olympics.

And the Chinese Communist Party wants you to know, they don't care.

As my favorite state-run media The Global Times says, the forces inciting a boycott

of the Winter Olympics will never succeed.

Because their “extreme claims...will never be widely echoed”.

And to prove how little China cares, they will 'seriously sanction' any country

This also shows that China opposes politicizing the Beijing Winter Olympics.

To be clear, it's other countries' boycotts that are politicizing things, not China's

Now I'm not saying these threats haven't worked to stop the boycotts.

“The US has said it had no intention of telling its athletes not to go.”

Sometimes you just gotta cooperate with China, despite the genocide.

And Canada has taken it one step further.

The Canadian Olympic Committee is warning its athletes not to even criticize China.

Which, sadly, might be good advice—if those athletes want to be allowed to leave China.

Unlike all the Canadians that have been detained there.

There were calls for boycotts of the 2008 Beijing Olympics, too.

But even without an Olympic boycott, people around the world found ways to highlight China's

Like when Beijing had the brilliant idea to bring their Olympic torch relay around the

It was pretty embarrassing for the Chinese Communist Party, what with people around the

But despite, or perhaps because of, the global embarrassment, the Chinese Communist Party

promised to allow protests during the Olympics.

They even set up special zones inside three Beijing parks, where people would be allowed
