They are tied together by Beijing’s 2022 Winter Olympics, which opens in just under a year. Sponsors want the Olympic connection, but they risk damaging their brand because of reported human-rights abuses against Muslim Uyghurs, Tibetans and other minorities in China. In the other corner is a small core of international lawyers and activists. They have branded these the “Genocide Games” and are pressuring sponsors, the IOC and world sports federations to investigate. Thousands of Olympic athletes are caught in the middle. For most, it’s a once-in-a-lifetime chance for fame and a medal. But they’re on their own.

President Joe Biden’s nominee for CIA director spoke candidly on Wednesday about the Chinese government’s authoritarian bent, and its use of front groups to influence U.S. policy towards Beijing. William Burns also faced questions about his tenure at the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace, which had a relationship with one of the Chinese government front groups. Burns told the Senate Intelligence Committee that shortly after he took over at Carnegie in 2015, he severed ties with the China-U.S. Exchange Foundation due to “expansion of Chinese influence operations.” Despite the claim, Carnegie and the foundation maintained a relationship as late as 2017.

The first of Denver International Airport’s big three airlines is making its move in the chase for new gates being added to the airport as part of its $1.5 billion expansion project . United Airlines, the biggest carrier at DIA, is asking the Denver City Council to approve an amendment to its lease that would grant it rights to use 24 more gates at the airport. Of those, 12 would be new gates added to the west end of Concourse A, 11 would be existing gates on that concourse and one would be a new gate on Concourse B, United officials told The Denver Post on Friday. “The expansion is really driven from the fact that over the last several years United has embraced a midcontinent growth strategy,” said Steve Jaquith, a vice president with United who runs its Denver hub. “Denver is the fastest-growing hub in our network and most successful hub in our network.
