What a great idea. Via Domain:
The founder of a global coalition of MPs is pushing for the International Olympic Committee to reconsider Beijing’s hosting of the 2022 Winter Games as politicians around the world voice increasing concerns over China’s human rights record.
The move paves the way for a worldwide alliance between human rights groups and conservative and progressive politicians to force a boycott of the Games. The development also could further threaten the finances of the IOC as it battles to keep the coronavirus-stricken Tokyo Olympics on track for 2021.
British MP Sir Iain Duncan Smith, co-chair of the Inter-Parliamentary Alliance on China and former leader of the Conservative Party in Britain, said: “I have asked that the IOC thinks again about hosting in China.”
The global parliamentary alliance numbers Australian politicians Tim Wilson, Kimberley Kitching, Andrew Hastie, Eric Abetz, Kevin Andrews, James Paterson, Amanda Stoker and Raff Ciccone among its 160 members across Canada, the US, the UK, Japan, New Zealand and Europe.
Love it. We should avail ourselves of every opportunity to push forward global decoupling from the CCP-Nazis.
