Maybe in a diplomatic capacity but not a full withdrawal. A full boycott isn’t fair on the athletes who trained to be at the top of their game!.
We are sending like 5 athletes let them live there dream

It’s disrespectful for our athletes who will have worked hard to get there.
Of course we should, but of course we won’t.
Were already boycotting quatar, isn’t that enough?
Absolutely, with a diplomatic boycott at the very least. The carry on from their international level to our own personal level with Richard O Halloran has been so poor that we shouldn’t be dealing with them in any capacity. They can also conveniently hold our athletes to ransom if we say anything negative about them too. It just seems morally wrong that we haven’t been up in arms with anything they are doing in the past decade, likely because we see them as a faraway state. Imagine if it was the CCP doing the live fire exercise in Irish Waters, bet there would be a boycott tomorrow if it was.
Whats the point? Practically speaking, not morally.
Does anyone think that this will actual achieve an end to Uighur camps or other Chinese problems.
All it is is moral grandstanding and pushing us towards another cold war that benefits nobody.
My own philosophy is never to start a fight unless you see an exit strategy.
Seeing how other people live makes a population demand change.
Real change can only come from within a society. We have seen over and over that you don’t enforce real change on a country.
If we and others go and expose their population to the freedoms we have some of them will look at that and look at their situation and see a different ideal.
I am **not** ofcousre talking cultural imperialism but base human rights and freedoms.
