As funny as that would be, I don't think the athletes would be safe making any kind of political statements directly.
I think that sums it up. How is it possible we are having an Olympics in such a place?
If it were up to me, I'd have the athletes wear uniforms that alternatively "Olympic games, presented by Xinjiang concentration camps!", "Olympic Games, presented by no idea how the Coronavirus started, because there has been no investigation allowed in China around it origins.", and "Olympic Games, don't complain if you get raped because you'll end up locked in your house like Peng Shuai."

Well, we in the US have our own prison camps. They're less racist and more driven by profiteers who are modern slaveowners. It's the same thing, less on the nose.

Just emblazon them with “Remember Tiananmen Square”. I’d love to see China try and censor its own Olympics.
These are pointless gestures politicians like to make to win the news coverage of the day. To make a real dent, remove China from WTO third world country status so it doesn’t benefit from all the unfair trades.
