2021-03-02 House resolution calls on US to boycott 2022 Winter Olympics in China, due to country’s human rights record The resolution first urges the International Olympic Committee (IOC) to move the 2022 Winter Olympics out of China — and if they don’t, urges the U.S. Olympic and Paralympic Committee (USOPC) to boycott American participation.
To be clear, the resolution would not directly institute a U.S. boycott. That decision is not Congress’s to make, but instead resides with the USOPC. But congressional pressure to do so would likely increase the odds of such a boycott occurring.
