The closing ceremony of the 2022 Winter Olympics ended this morning with a fitting and thrilling display of fireworks. Just before that a children‘s choir sang to an enraptured audience in the Beijing “birdsnest“ stadium and to the rest of the world.
I have no idea what the words were that the kids were singing, but to me at least they were a cry of dismay, a stinging rebuke to the leaders of all those countries—in primis the US, the UK and Canada— who refused to send their diplomats to Beijing, choosing instead to stay behind to play cops and truckers and other far more dangerous war games.
