Urging the United States Olympic Committee, the International Olympic Committee, and the Olympic Committees of other countries to take certain actions with respect to the 2022 Winter Olympic Games.
Summary
House Resolution 129 is a non-binding proposal that calls on the International Olympic Committee (IOC) to move the 2022 Winter Olympic Games out of China. If the games were not relocated, the resolution urged the United States and other participating nations to withdraw their athletes from the competition entirely. While the resolution also expressed support for the hard work of American athletes and staff, its primary goal was to use a diplomatic boycott to protest the host country's human rights record. For everyday citizens, this measure represented a formal congressional effort to prevent U.S. participation in the Beijing Games, though it did not ultimately become law or prevent the games from proceeding as scheduled.
