Michelle Cordero: From The Heritage Foundation, I'm Michelle Cordero and this is Heritage Explains. The Olympics are the most prestigious sporting event in the world and it's a privilege for a country to be selected as a host. The International Olympic Committee picked Beijing to host the 2022 winter games. And if the committee gets what it wants, Beijing will become the only city in the world to host both the summer and winter games. Cordero: In 2008, Beijing spent hundreds of millions on its summer games and its opening ceremony was a massive display of national pride. Is that a display that the rest of the world is ready to see again in 2022? The Chinese Communist Party is actively carrying out genocide and crimes against humanity against the Uyghurs, Christians, and other religious groups. The regime has also accelerated its crackdown on citizens in Hong Kong, and continue to lie about unleashing COVID-19 across the world.
