North Korea says it will skip next month’s Beijing Olympics because of the Covid-19 pandemic and “hostile forces’ moves,” a redundant statement since the country has already been banned from the Games
Several other countries, including Britain, Australia and Canada have also announced diplomatic boycotts of the Winter Games.
"We could not take part in the Olympics due to the hostile forces' moves and the worldwide pandemic, but we would fully support the Chinese comrades in all their work to hold splendid and wonderful Olympic festival," the letter said. It criticised unspecified moves by the United States, which in December announced its government officials will boycott the 2022 Winter Olympics because of China's human rights record, while leaving US athletes free to travel to Beijing to compete.
