UG-CLAT CURRENT AFFAIRS AND GK QUIZ 8

Terming China’s decision to field a People’s Liberation Army soldier involved in the June 2020 (I) valley clashes as the torchbearer for the Winter Olympics Games in (II)as “regrettable”, India announced a diplomatic boycott of the games just ahead of the opening ceremony on Friday. State broadcaster Doordarshan also announced it will not telecast the opening and closing ceremonies live, where India has one athlete, (III), participating.

China’s decision to field him and New Delhi’s announcement of boycott, are likely to increase India-China tensions that have risen since PLA aggressions along the Line of Actual Control began in April 2020.

India had earlier expressed support for the Beijing Olympics, even as more than a dozen countries, led by the United States, had announced a boycott of the games.

“It is indeed regrettable that the Chinese side has chosen to politicise an event like Olympic,” said MEA spokesperson Arindam Bagchi, referring to the media reports. “The Charge d’Affaires of the Embassy of India in Beijing will not be attending the opening or closing ceremony of the Beijing 2022 Winter Olympics,” he added.

In November 2021, External Affairs Minister S. Jaishankar had hosted a virtual Russia-India-China (RIC) trilateral meeting which issued a joint statement where they “expressed their support to China to host Beijing 2022 Winter Olympic and Paralympic Games.”

Other countries including the U.S., Japan, Australia, United Kingdom and a number of European countries including Latvia, Lithuania, Denmark, the Netherlands, Sweden and the Czech Republic have announced their plans for diplomatic boycott: sending athletes and sports officials, but no diplomatic or political presence, in protest of China’s restrictions on its Uighur population in (IV) Xinjiang and other human rights abuses.

Meanwhile Russian President Vladimir Putin, Pakistan Prime Minister Imran Khan, Presidents of five Central Asian republics Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan, Turkmenistan and Uzbekistan are due to attend the opening ceremony on Friday.
