Taiwan won’t send a government delegation to the 2022 Beijing Winter Olympics, its Mainland Affairs Council said on Jan. 25, making it the latest country to withhold officials’ attendance at the Games.

“Considering the limited number of participants and the previous precedent that our side’s officials were often absent, no official representatives will be sent,” the council said in a statement. Taiwan will instead send a representative from its Olympic committee to the Games, it stated.
