Sending Americans to the Beijing Winter Olympics is unsafe and unwise

In about four months, the United States and countries around the world are set to send thousands of athletes, journalists and officials to the 2022 Winter Olympics in China, where the government continues to hide critical information about the covid-19 pandemic. Perversely, China plans to use international attendance at the Olympics to bolster its claims that its authoritarian model is superior. U.S. participation is both a public health risk and a strategic mistake.
