WASHINGTON — It would be a “cop-out” for countries to skip the opening ceremonies at the Beijing Olympics as a way of protesting China’s crackdown in Tibet, President Bush’s national security adviser said Sunday on “Fox News Sunday” and ABC’s “This Week.”
The kind of “quiet diplomacy” that the U.S. is practicing is a better way to send a message to China’s leaders rather than “frontal confrontation,” Stephen Hadley said.
President Bush has given no indication that he will skip the event. British Prime Minister Gordon Brown and German Chancellor Angela Merkel will skip opening ceremonies.
