The U.S. and German Olympic Committees have advised participants in the 2022 Beijing Olympics not to bring personal smartphones, laptops and other gadgets to China. It is reported by Inside the Games.
According to the source, the United States and Germany are afraid of surveillance by the Chinese authorities. According to representatives of the organizations, in the future, athletes may be at risk because of this. In this regard, the participants of the Olympiad are advised to take disposable devices on their trip, which can be destroyed after returning from Beijing.
A number of countries have declared a diplomatic boycott of the Beijing Games. The reason was concern about the situation with human rights in China. The leadership of the USA, Australia, Great Britain, Canada, Japan, Denmark and the Netherlands will not visit the Olympics.
The Beijing Olympics will be held from 4 to 20 February. Russia will compete at the Games in a neutral status due to the sanctions of the World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA).
