Calls for Olympic boycott

[edit]

On 19 November 2021, members of the Lithuanian national parliament Seimas released an official letter encouraging Lithuania to withdrawal from the 2022 Olympics due to human rights violations in China.[6] This came to light during the China–Lithuania relations crisis, after the Republic of China (Taipei or Taiwan) opened its representative office in Vilnius under the name of "Taiwan" (the first under this name in Europe) in August 2021. In response, the People's Republic of China recalled its ambassador in Vilnius, Shen Zhifei, and demanded that Lithuania recall its ambassador in Beijing, Diana Mickevičienė.[7]

Trade between the two countries was seriously disrupted.[8] Relations between the PRC and Lithuania were downgraded to the level of chargé d'affaires on 21 November 2021.[9][10]

Daina Gudzinevičiūtė, president of the Lithuanian National Olympic Committee, released a statement that the Olympic Games should be politically neutral and confirmed that committee had no plans to boycott the games.[11][12]

On 3 December 2021, Lithuania was the first nation to announce a diplomatic boycott of the games.[13]
