A countdown clock showing one year to go for the 2022 Beijing Olympics stands near the Olympics Tower, far center, and National Stadium, also known as the Bird's Nest, which will again be a venue for the Olympics, in Beijing on Wednesday, Feb. 3, 2021. The 2022 Beijing Winter Olympics will open a year from now. Most of the venues have been completed as the Chinese capital becomes the first city to hold both the Winter and Summer Olympics. Beijing held the 2008 Summer Olympics. But these Olympics are presenting some major problems. They are already scarred by accusations of rights abuses including "genocide"against more than 1 million Uighurs and other Muslim ethnic groups in western China. (AP Photo/Andy Wong)
