Would you boycott the olympics in China because of current (and not so current) events:
* China's threating posture towards Taiwan.
China recently passed a law that allowed the use of military force towards the "rogue" province should they declare independence.
* Recent anti-Japanese demonstrations targeting Japanese businesses and civilians.
the government isn't doing much to control these mobs and refuses to apologize.
* China's occupation and human rights abuses in Tibet. human rights violations in general.
* The EU reneging on the weapons sales ban to China ... just think of all the aircraft, missles, and cattle prods
they can buy with all the revenues from the olympics. |

At a demonstration outside the United Nations in New York, Psurbu Tsering of the Tibetan Association of New York and New Jersey
said its members received phone calls from Tibet claiming 70 people had been killed and 1,000 arrested.
The reports could not be "verified". |
