Both Democrats and Republicans have called for a boycott.
The US is boycotting the Winter Olympics in Beijing in 2022.
The White House said that there would be no official delegation from the US to the games because of China's human rights record.
US athletes could attend the games and the government would support them.
In the event of a boycott, China will takesolute counter-measures.
President Joe Biden said last month that he was considering a boycott of the Games.
Both Democrats and Republicans want the boycott to protest against Chinese human rights abuses.
The US has accused China of genocide towards the Uighurs, a Muslim minority group.
China has acted to suppress political freedoms in Hong Kong.
The US diplomatic representation would treat these games as normal, even though they were aware of Beijing's egregious human rights abuses and atrocities in the region.
"We can't do that."
If a boycott was announced, China threatened to retaliate.
The Winter Olympic Games are not a stage for political posturing and manipulation according to the foreign ministry spokesman.
"If the US wants to have its own way, China will retaliate in kind," Mr. Zhao said.
