The administration says that they won’t be representing America, but instead would provide “security support operations”. But of the18 names only one official is from Pentagon.The rest are State Department officials .
Why the reversal ? Being a weak feckless leader is one explanation. Or perhaps Hunter Biden's business interests in China plays a role ? Just speculating here .
Japan, Canada, the UK and Australia all stuck their neck out and announced similar boycotts after Clueless announced his original boycott. He burned them like he humiliated Taiwan during the democracy summit . Again done in the best interests of the PRC.
