The United States warned Wednesday that Beijing would use the Winter Olympics to gloss over abuses as it slapped sanctions on another Chinese official over treatment of the Falun Gong.
Releasing an annual US report on international religious freedom that found widespread concerns in China, a senior official said the United States was still considering its moves ahead of the Olympics in February.
“We can’t turn a blind eye to Beijing’s abhorrent human rights record,” said Dan Nadel, a State Department official who works on religious freedom.
President Joe Biden’s administration has stopped short of backing a boycott, an idea strongly opposed by US athletes and that is seen as unlikely to gain widespread support among other Western nations.
The United States under both presidents has accused China of carrying out genocide in the western region of Xinjiang, where more than one million Uyghurs and other mostly Muslim Turkic people are estimated to be held in camps.
In the latest US action, Secretary of State Antony Blinken announced that Yu Hui, a Chengdu-based former official who was in charge of dealing with “heretical religions,” would along with his family be denied admission to the United States.
Blinken pointed to his “gross violations of human rights” including arbitrary detentions of members of the Falun Gong spiritual movement.
Beijing in 2009 launched a campaign to eradicate Falun Gong after the group demonstrated growing influence.
