UU. de Oreg\u00f3n, Jeff Merkley, Presidente de la Comisi\u00f3n Ejecutiva del Congreso sobre China (CECC), emiti\u00f3 la siguiente declaraci\u00f3n hoy antes de las Ceremonias de Apertura de los Juegos Ol\u00edmpicos de Invierno de 2022 celebradas en Beijing:<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>\u201cEn v\u00edsperas de las Ceremonias de Apertura de los Juegos Ol\u00edmpicos de Invierno de Beijing, es fundamental que hagamos todo lo posible para evitar que el brillo y el glamour del oro ol\u00edmpico oscurezcan las atrocidades cometidas por el gobierno chino contra los derechos humanos.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSe llevar\u00e1n a cabo maravillosos logros atl\u00e9ticos en un contexto de genocidio contra los musulmanes uigures, la represi\u00f3n de los activistas por la democracia en Hong Kong y la represi\u00f3n y el encarcelamiento continuos de periodistas y activistas que se atreven a mostrar valent\u00eda al denunciar estos abusos por parte de los chinos. Gobierno y Partido Comunista Chino. No toleraremos que el gobierno chino utilice los Juegos Ol\u00edmpicos como una falsa muestra de paz y armon\u00eda cuando se violan los derechos humanos b\u00e1sicos.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cEstoy orgulloso de los esfuerzos bipartidistas que hicimos como naci\u00f3n para responsabilizar al gobierno chino por sus cr\u00edmenes. Ayud\u00e9 a encabezar la acusaci\u00f3n de un boicot diplom\u00e1tico a los Juegos Ol\u00edmpicos, y el apoyo del presidente Biden fue un paso cr\u00edtico y una fuerte se\u00f1al de liderazgo en el tema de los derechos humanos. El <i>Ley de prevenci\u00f3n del trabajo forzoso uigur<\/i> envi\u00f3 un mensaje claro de que las empresas y los consumidores estadounidenses no se comprometer\u00e1n con los bienes y servicios fabricados con mano de obra esclava. Pero se nos exige m\u00e1s. Debemos hacer todo lo posible para alzar las voces de aquellos que est\u00e1n siendo silenciados y mostrarle al mundo que montar un gran espect\u00e1culo no eclipsar\u00e1 la tortura, el encarcelamiento arbitrario y la esclavitud de millones de personas inocentes.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>\u201cQuiero desearles a todos los atletas buena suerte en sus respectivos deportes. Su arduo trabajo y dedicaci\u00f3n a su oficio no deben verse empa\u00f1ados por el grave error del Comit\u00e9 Ol\u00edmpico Internacional al otorgar los Juegos Ol\u00edmpicos a Beijing, y apoyar\u00e9 al equipo de EE. UU. y a aquellos que representan a nuestro gran estado de Oreg\u00f3n. Si bien los celebramos a ellos y sus logros, tambi\u00e9n debemos usar el enfoque de los Juegos en China para catalizar una lucha internacional contra las injusticias que ocurren en Hong Kong, Xinjiang y en toda China hasta que se erradiquen el genocidio, el trabajo esclavo y los ataques a la democracia. de una vez por todas.&quot;&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Como presidente de la CECC, Merkley ha dirigido el trabajo de la Comisi\u00f3n para resaltar los graves abusos de derechos humanos de China antes de las Olimpiadas, presidiendo m\u00faltiples audiencias, presionando a los patrocinadores corporativos para que tomen medidas y liderando llamados a un boicot diplom\u00e1tico.
