Various Nation's opinions
As part of a diplomatic embargo, The Us, The U.k., and a few other countries will not send ambassadors to the Beijing Winter Games, but the Chinese capital will still attract a number of world dignitaries for the opening ceremony. A Chinese Army soldier was named a torchbearer at the Beijing 2022 Winter Olympic Torch Relay on Thursday. Therefore, alarmed Indian authorities declared that they will not attend the ceremony. This soldier actively participated in the 2020 Galwan conflict with Indian troops.
Arif Mohammad Khan, a skier from India, will compete in the Beijing Winter Olympics. However, he will be the country's only representative athlete.
