The list of countries who have said they will not send government officials to the Winter Olympics in Beijing is growing.

The U.S. was the first to announce a diplomatic boycott of the China games, citing the country’s human rights abuses. Now, other nations are following suit. Athletes from the countries will still continue to compete. The games are scheduled to begin on Feb. 4 and run through Feb. 20.
