and say, ross griffin shouldn't be more onus on the international olympic committee to manage it. and perhaps it should be more about not awarding big events like this to countries with, with say, poor, poor track record and human rights. yeah. but the i o. c is a, it's not a neutral broker. and all of this, i'm a jesse mentioned the 1946 games in berlin. the i c has a track record of giving games to very nations, but a dubious background was often forgotten in history. is that the games after the games wanted to call them that were going to japan in 1940 only for the outbreak of world war 2. so with a lot of events nowadays, there are other concerns other than sports washing. what's going on the background, a lot of nations, lot of cities, once again, they don't want, they can't afford them. i think the bidding for the paris games was almost shambolic for a finish because a lot of countries are lot of cities that pulled out wrong. being one that was much of the other where they had plebiscites or people are saying, we don't want to spend millions upon millions on these games when

the international olympic committee has a similar track record toward the c.c.p.'s human rights abuses. no human rights conditions were ever imposed by the i.o.c. as a condition for china to host the 2008 summer olympics. and the c.c.p. used it as propaganda to white-wash their brutal oppression. they allowed beijing to host the 2022 winter olympics, once again turning a blind eye to the gross human rights violations and genocide currently being committed. but over the last several weeks, we've seen the i.o.c. change from passively validating the c.c.p.'s abuses to actively enabling them. the most troubling example is the ongoing abuse of chinese olympian peng shuai. she disappeared by the c.c.p. after coming forward with serious sexual abuse allegations against a senior party member, and after the world began speaking up for her, peng, the c.c.p. propaganda machine, published false statements in her name. rather than standing up for her, the i.o.c. immediately issued public statements to validate this obvious disinformation and propaganda. even more shocking, i.o.

griffin mentioned before about the role of the international olympic committee.y have all these wonderful ideas inside of their olympic charter about human rights and freedom and the dignity of the individual, which are being thrown out the window right now in their selection of beijing and their backing of beijing all the way through the olympics, given the human rights abuses that are happening there. as we move forward, it will be interesting to see whether the verbal volleys between the united states and china distract from the fact that the international olympic committee created the originals and, which is to say that giving the olympics to china even though they knew there had not been advancements in human rights since china hosted the games back in 2008. nick: ross, do you think there could be any impact on this as far as the ioc is concerned? >> from the boycott itself, you mean? nick: yeah. >> the way the ioc operates? i don't think so. i think the ioc will go to whoever is willing to host the games and pay for the games. the ioc seems to be very selec

and he says that the international olympic committee and the interpol turned into tools for china's propaganda. the fact that the women's tennis association has shown more credibility than we international olympic committee, or for that matter, more credibility than interpol. in resisting these types of, clearly scripted and coerced performances from china is really shocking. and it shows how far we really do need to go still. the fact that the i o c or interpol have been turned into tools for china's propaganda. whereas the w t o has resisted it, is really a mark for the w t a. and really we should see more organizations behaving such as them resisting clear lives from the party being propagandizing efforts. we also need to see real coordinated action between governments. china is a powerful state actor of course. and what we need to confront them is to hold trying accountable through the coordination of multiple countries. what this abuse against and punctuate is, is also very much part of a long trend. the widespread and systematic use of arbitrary and secret detention to remove from public
