English/Español: Rubio on Beijing 2022 Olympics
Miami, FL — U.S. Senator Marco Rubio (R-FL) released a statement at the start of the XXIV Olympic Winter Games in Beijing.
“The 2022 Winter Olympics will be remembered for the atrocities committed by the Chinese Communist Party as opposed to the accomplishments of the athletes,” Rubio said. “By hosting the Games in the shadows of concentration camps, the International Olympic Committee (IOC) and its corporate sponsors prioritized financial profit over human rights. In doing so, the IOC shredded its own Code of Ethics and lost all moral credibility.”
“While we pray for the health, safety, and success of all American athletes, we cannot forget that hiding behind the pageantry and fanfare is an evil, genocidal regime,” Rubio continued. “Until the Chinese Communist Party puts an end to all ethnic cleansing, slave labor practices, and political oppression, I will work to ensure that the Olympics are never hosted in the People’s Republic of China again.”

Miami, FL — El senador estadounidense Marco Rubio (R-FL) emitió un comunicado en el primer día de los XXIV Juegos Olímpicos de Invierno en Beijing.
“Los Juegos Olímpicos de Invierno del 2022 serán recordados por las atrocidades cometidas por el Partido Comunista Chino en vez de los logros de los atletas”, Rubio dijo. “Al organizar los Juegos a la sombra de los campos de concentración, el Comité Olímpico Internacional y todos sus patrocinadores corporativos priorizaron las ganancias financieras sobre los derechos humanos. Al hacerlo, el Comité Olímpico destruyó su propio Código de Ética y perdió toda credibilidad moral”.
“Mientras rezamos por la salud, la seguridad y el éxito de todos los atletas estadounidenses, no podemos olvidar que detrás del espectáculo se esconde un régimen malvado y genocida”, Rubio continuó. “Hasta que el Partido Comunista Chino ponga fin a todas las limpiezas étnicas, las prácticas de trabajo forzoso y la opresión política, trabajaré para asegurarme que los Juegos Olímpicos nunca más ocurran en China”.
