Washington/Beijing: China will take "countermeasures" in protest against a planned US diplomatic boycott of the Olympics if necessary, Beijing`s foreign ministry said on Monday.

The Biden administration is expected to announce on Monday (December 6) that US government officials will not attend the 2022 Olympics in Beijing, a source familiar with the situation said Monday, confirming earlier reports by CNN and NBC.
