Top U.S. corporate sponsors of the Beijing 2022 Olympics dodged two hours of questions from a bipartisan U.S. government commission Tuesday to avoid directly condemningA virtual hearing by Congressional-Executive Commission on China laid bare the hypocrisy of the participating companies.
Attending witnesses each gave a five-minute address and then answered questions from members of the commission. Those who spoke were David Holyoke, Airbnb’s head of Olympics and Paralympics partnership; Paul Lalli, theCompany’s global vice president for human rights; Intel Corporation’s executive vice president and general counsel Steven R.
“Genocide is in a league of its own. Should the Games be moved? Yes or no,” said Smith. “It’s the genocide Olympics – can you not just say move them?” Airbnb said that the purpose of its IOC partnership is to “connect people.” Earlier this year, a coalition of 150 human rights campaigners asked it to drop its 2022 sponsorship.
Rep. Tom Malinowski, a Democrat from New Jersey, agreed, slamming Coca-Cola in particular for trying to avoid Chinese government retaliation against the profits that the soft drink giant derives from the populous nation. “You are afraid of them in a way that you are not afraid of critics in the U.S. I think that’s shameful,” he told Lalli.
