‘Mountains can’t stop the river’: China responds to Australia’s diplomatic boycott of Beijing Olympics

Canberra’s decision to join the US politic boycott of the Beijing Olympics comes amid “ disagreement” with China over a slew of issues that have plunged relations into the most serious extremity since the Tiananmen Square crackdown in 1989. 

 Hours after Australia blazoned its decision to follow the United States in a politic boycott of the 2022 Beijing Olympics, the Chinese delegacy in Australia replied to the move and said that responsibility lies with the Australian side to fix the “ current dilemma” in the ties between the two countries. “ Mountains can not stop the swash from flowing into the ocean,” the Chinese delegacy prophet said while observing that Australia’s success at the Beijing Winter Olympics depends on the performance of its athletes and not on the attendance of officers. 

 Specially, Australian high minister Scott Morrison said on Wednesday that no officers will be transferred to February’s Winter Olympics in Beijing. Canberra’s decision comes amid” disagreement”with China over a slew of issues that have plunged relations into the most serious extremity since the Tiananmen Square crackdown in 1989. 

The Australian Olympic Committee (AOC), still, has clarified that their government’s decision to join the US politic boycott of coming time’s Beijing Olympics will have no impact on athletes’ medications for the Winter Games. 

 Admitting the AOC chairman’s reflections on the participation of Australian athletes, the Chinese delegacy prophet said, “ We wish the Australian athletes excellent performance at the Winter Olympics and believe they will also witness a streamlined, safe and splendid Olympics in China.” 

 Taking quick note of the bilateral ties between the two nations, the Chinese delegacy prophet said, “ As we all know, the blame for the current dilemma of China-Australia relations lies exactly on the Australian side.” 

 “ According to Olympic rules, dignitaries are invited by their separate National Olympic Committee (NOC) to attend the Olympic Games,” the delegacy statement said. “ It’s over to the NOC to decide whether to extend assignations or not. Mountains can’t stop the swash from flowing into the ocean. Australia’s success at the Beijing Winter Olympics depends on the performance of Australian athletes, not on the attendance of Australian officers, and the political posturing by some Australian politicians.” 

 Prompting the Australian side to take practical measures to produce favorable conditions for perfecting bilateral relations, the Chinese functionary said, “ The Australian side’s statement that it’ll not shoot officers to the Beijing Winter Olympics runs athwart to its intimately pronounced anticipation to ameliorate China-Australia relations.” 

 The AOC had earlier said in a statement that it admired how “ politic options” were a matter for governments and maintained that politics and sport should be separated. 

 Meanwhile, Australian PM Scott Morrison insists that the simulated relations with Beijing had left Australia unfit to bandy China’s moves to decelerate and block significances of Australian goods as well as contended mortal rights abuses in Xinjiang, the reason behind the US boycott.

 “ Australia won’t step back from the strong position we have had standing up for Australia’s interests and obviously it’s of no surprise that we wouldn’t be transferring Australian officers to those Games,” Morrison said.
