Corporate sponsors pour hundreds of millions of dollars to advertise during the Winter Olympics in Beijing, but vice chair of the U.S. Commission on International Religious Freedom (USCIRF) has argued this equates to 'sponsoring' genocide.

More than 90 countries are participating in the Olympics this year, but these top-tier sponsors are able to slap the iconic rings on their products that have a global reach.

The International Olympic Committee has faced steep criticism from lawmakers, human rights groups and international athletes for allowing the games to once again be hosted in China, despite its known human rights violations. Diplomatic boycott bans of the international Games by the U.S. and allied nations, like the United Kingdom and Canada, have created even more friction between the East and West during an already tumultuous time.

"I worry that they will use this global event to ratchet up the pressure…and intensify surveillance. I worry that they will use this event, as they often do, to round up more people," he said, explaining China could do this under the guise of alleged security concerns.
