PARIS (Reuters) – France is taking note of the U.S. announcement of a diplomatic boycott of the 2022 Winter Olympics in Beijing and says there will be a coordinated reaction at a European level on the issue, the French presidency said on Tuesday.
“We take note of the decision of the Americans. When we have concerns on human rights, we say so to the Chinese, we took sanctions on Xinjiang last March. We will coordinate at European level,” the statement said.
