US strongly criticised China for making a People`s Liberation Army’s regimental commander, who had suffered severe injuries during the Galwan clash, the torchbearer at the Beijing 2022 Winter Olympics Torch Relay. Qi Fabaotook the flame from Wang Meng, China`s four-time Olympic short track speed skating champion, at Winter Olympic Park on Wednesday. US senator Jim Risch called China's actions "shameful".
