The diplomatic boycott of the 2022 Beijing Winter Olympics expanded by two more countries Wednesday, with Canada and U.K. joining the U.S. and Australia in saying they won’t send any government officials or other dignitaries.

The U.S. was first to announce a boycott on Monday over China’s accused human rights abuses against its Uyghur Muslim minority. China calls the boycotts “political posturing” and a smear campaign.
