Through the Beijing Winter Olympics , China intended to praise its achievements around the world. But this time the Winter Olympics is no less than a disastrous failure. The players who came to participate in the Olympics have been forced to eat poorly. Apart from this, they have to face strict covid restrictions. At the same time, how big a flop this winter Olympics has proved to be, it seems that the players have performed in empty stadiums. Actually, it is believed that China was afraid that some people might go to the stadiums and expose the atrocities that took place there.
Before the Winter Olympics, Chinese President Xi Jinping promised that China is ready for the Olympics and will organize the Games in a safe and spectacular manner. But even before the start of the Olympics, countries like Britain and America started a diplomatic boycott of it for human rights abuses. China warned athletes participating in the Olympics not to comment on the declining Uighur Muslim population in China while participating in the Games. The United Nations says that China is committing genocide with the Uyghur people.
China failed to spread propaganda

The Olympic Games have been a catastrophic failure, according to human rights campaigner Luke de Pulford, who coordinated the Inter-Parliamentary Coalition on China. He wrote in the Telegraph, 'It is not too difficult to talk about how bad the Beijing 2022 Winter Olympics has been. It has been so bad that the hashtags 'OlympicFlop' and 'GenocideGames' are running. China did not want this kind of PR. He said, 'In fact, the propaganda that China wanted to spread through this, it has not been successful in doing so.' China's intention was to describe the work done in its country through the Olympics.
Bad food and leakage problem

The lockdown was implemented in China before the Olympics. Because of this, foreign visitors could not reach China and tickets were not given to the local people either. In such a situation, the players had to perform in empty stadiums. Many pictures of empty stadiums have surfaced on social media. The players were kept in strict quarantine, who cried because of the poor facilities there. Not only this, good food was also not given to the players. Russian player Valeria Vasnetsova posted a picture and told how bad food is being served to her every day. Apart from this, pictures of leakages in Olympic Village also surfaced.
