Political boycott
Main article: Concerns and controversies at the 2022 Winter Olympics

On December 8, 2021, Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau announced a diplomatic boycott of the games citing human rights concerns. Trudeau said that the government is, "extremely concerned by the repeated human rights violations carried out by the Chinese government".[3][4] The Canadian Olympic Committee and the Canadian Paralympic Committee, respected the government's decision, but stressed that a full boycott would have hurt athletes.[5]
