The US is boycotting the Winter Games.
The US is planning to boycott the Winter Olympics in Beijing in 2022.
China would takesolute countermeasures, but no further details were given.
On Monday, the US said it wouldn't send diplomats to Beijing because of concerns about China's human rights record.
US athletes could go and get full government support.
The proposed boycott of the US was based on lies and rumors, and Mr Zhao accused the US of violating political neutrality in sport.
Both countries are tense. The US has accused China of committing genocide in its treatment of the Uyghur minority in the western region of Xinjiang.
Relations between China and Hong Kong are strained because of concerns for the Chinese tennis player who accused a top government official of assault.
The US and other countries have high-level government representatives at the Olympics. The First Lady of the United States was at the summer Olympics in Tokyo.
The US would not contribute to the "fanfare" of the Olympics according to Jen Psaki. She said that not sending an official delegation could send a clear message.
She said that US diplomatic or official representation would treat the games as normal in the face of egregious human rights abuses. "We can't do that."
The US government didn't feel it was right to penalize athletes who had been training for this moment.
The topic "US diplomatic boycott of Beijing Winter Olympics" was removed from Weibo as of Tuesday morning.
Most of the comments below a post on the announcement by Global Times were also deleted.
What does the Olympics have to do with politicians? One comment said that even if you boycott, the only people you're hurting are your own countrymen.
China tried to take the sting out of this by dismissing it as irrelevant.
Covid restrictions meant Beijing and the IOC weren't inviting any people. This decision will be seen as another sign of a "Cold War mentality".
It was very unlikely that US President Joe Biden or any senior political figure would attend a game hosted by a government he said is committing genocide.
I spoke to a senior US diplomat who said they would try to educate their athletes about what's happening in Hong Kong and the rest of China. They thought of a "fireside chats" among athletes in Beijing.
Will the UK follow suit? The Foreign Secretary of London has reportedly said that the Chinese President's regime of genocide is a thing.
A senior UK official told me a few months ago that the UK would be seen as America's poodle if it joined a boycott of China.
Both Democrats and Republicans praised the diplomatic boycott.
Nancy Pelosi said that the US and the world could not afford to hold the Olympics in a country that was perpetrating genocide.
Republican Senator Tom Cotton argued that the administration should have boycotted the games if they had not boycotted diplomatic ones.
Other countries are considering the same move. The country will decide in due course whether to join the boycott, according to the deputy prime minister. Officials in Japan and Australia are discussing the measure.
The Winter Olympics were boycotted byLithuania last week after China reduced its relations with the country. Beijing considers Taiwan part of China, while Taiwan sees itself as independent.
New Zealand said it wouldn't attend due to concerns about the Covid-19 Pandemic. Grant Robertson said that the government has made clear its concerns about human rights to China.
The US boycott of the Winter Olympics in Moscow in 1980 was not as severe as the Biden administration's diplomatic boycott of the Winter Olympics in 2022.
The Summer Olympics held in Los Angeles in 1984 were boycotted by the Soviet Union and its allies.
The Summer Olympics will be held in Los Angeles in 2028.
