Prime Minister Scott Morrison said Australian athletes would compete at the Games despite the diplomatic boycott.
He said it should come as âno surpriseâ that Australia would boycott the event, citing the breakdown in the relationship with China in recent years.
The Australian Olympic Committee (AOC), which expects to send around 40 athletes to the Games, backed the move.
âGetting the athletes to Beijing safely, competing safely and bringing them home safely remains our greatest challenge,â AOC chief executive Matt Carroll said.

Seven and 7plus rides the wave
Seven extends partnership with World Surf League
Ride the wave on the Seven Network, with Seven extending its partnership as the free-to-air broadcaster of the World Surf League (WSL) to cover surfingâs biggest and most iconic events.
Following the sportâs triumphant debut at this yearâs Olympic Games in Tokyo, all of the WSLâs live contests and highlights shows across the 2022 season will be broadcast across Seven and live-streamed on 7plus, Australiaâs #1 commercial free-to-air BVOD platform.
Live coverage on 7plus will include all stops of the worldâs premier surfing competition, the WSL Championship Tour, along with the Challenger Series, the Rip Curl WSL Finals and Australian-based Qualifying Series events, while the deal will also see Seven broadcast the Rip Curl WSL Finals on free-to-air television as well as 11 hour-long highlights of Championship Tour events.
Managing Director Seven Melbourne and Head of Network Sport, Lewis Martin, said: âSurfing is as entrenched in Australian culture as any sport, so weâre stoked to continue our partnership with the World Surf League. We canât wait to bring sport fans all the action from the worldâs best surfing events, as we follow our surfers to some the most iconic beach destinations in the world, over the next year â all of it live and free on Seven and 7plus, your Home of Sport.â
The elite shortboard action gets underway on 29 January when the WSL Championship Tour makes its long-awaited return with the menâs and womenâs Billabong Pro Pipeline at the fabled Banzai Pipeline in Oahu, Hawaii.
Reigning world champion and Olympic gold medalist Carissa Moore and Aussies Sally Fitzgibbons, Stephanie Gilmore and Tyler Wright headline the history-making event as the women compete for world title points at Pipeline for the first time.
In the menâs competition, returning champ Gabriel Medina will face stiff competition from fellow Brazilian and Olympic gold medalist Italo Ferreira, legends of the sport Kelly Slater and John John Florence, and Aussies Morgan Cibilic and Jack Robinson. Olympic bronze medalist, Aussie Owen Wright, enters the 2022 Tour as a wildcard.
This is just the start of a huge year of surfing that will continue all the way through to next December, with the last stop of the Challenger Series at Haleiwa, Hawaii.

Magic Millions to dazzle on Seven
Australiaâs glittering Magic Millions Raceday takes centre stage on the Seven Network this Saturday, when fans will enjoy Summer Racingâs biggest day, with all the live and free thoroughbred racing action and trackside colour from the picturesque Gold Coast Turf Club.
One of the strongest fields ever assembled will contest the jewel in the crown, the $2 million Magic Millions 2YO Classic (1200m), with the Ciaron Maher trained and aptly-named filly Coolangatta the unbeaten favourite.
Saturdayâs live coverage begins at 1.00pm AEDT on 7two and 7plus and will be anchored by Australiaâs pre-eminent sport broadcaster Bruce McAvaney.
Bruce will be joined by Sevenâs unbeatable commentary team led by Hamish McLachlan from the Gold Coast including Katelyn Mallyon, Emma Freedman and Lizzie Jelfs, while Kate Waterhouse will cover all the trackside fashion and fun from the dazzling event.
Having cemented its reputation on the international racing scene as a must-attend event for racingâs elite, punters and fashionistas alike, the $2 million Classic is the highlight of Magic Millions Raceday, a $10.5 million, nine-race program that includes seven races worth over $1 million each.
Another key feature is the $2 million Magic Millions Guineas (1400m) for three-year-olds. Jamaea will start as one of the favourites in the event, with the star fillyâs main competition expected to come from King of Sparta and Starman.
Magic Millions Raceday is just the beginning. Fans can strap themselves in for an epic weekend of sport on Seven, featuring the fifth Ashes Test, Big Bash League, AFLW and the NFL Wild Card round.
