Following Britain, Canada "boycotts Beijing Olympics diplomacy"

Following the UK, Canada also agreed to participate in a 'diplomatic boycott' of next year's Beijing Winter Olympics.

Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau said at a press conference on the 8th local time that he would not send a diplomatic mission to the Beijing Olympics.

Earlier, British Prime Minister Boris Johnson said in Parliament that the diplomatic boycott would be effective because ministers and others would not attend the Beijing Olympics.

On the 6th, the United States declared a boycott of the Beijing Olympics citing China's human rights abuses.

Since then, New Zealand, Australia, the UK and Canada have joined the ranks of absenteeism, and all five countries belonging to the intelligence alliance 'Five Eyes' have decided to boycott.
