OTTAWA/BEIJING: China has warned that nations joining the diplomatic boycott of the Beijing Winter Olympic Games will 'pay the price'. The warning from China came after Canada joined Australia, Britain and the United States in a diplomatic boycott of the Winter Olympics in Beijing on Wednesday.
China has called the boycotts a "political posturing" and a smear campaign.The United States was the first to announce the boycott this week, saying on Monday its government officials would not attend February`s Beijing Olympics because of China`s human rights "atrocities", weeks after talks aimed at easing tense relations between the world`s two largest economies.
China on Tuesday said the United States and others would “pay a price" for their decision and warned of countermeasures but gave no details. The International Olympic Committee (IOC) sought to play down the growing diplomatic boycott.
