The Beijing Winter Olympics: Should China be left out in the cold?

The Winter Olympics is just a few days away, but before the games have even begun they’re already mired in controversy. Several countries are boycotting the event in a stand against China’s human rights record. But will it have any effect on the games themselves? We speak to two Times journalists -- one in the host country and one packing his bags to go.

Guests:

Didi Tang, Beijing correspondent, The Times.

Owen Slot, Chief sports writer, The Times.

Host: Manveen Rana.
