My point is that the Chinese government is only going to care if you stop buying their stuff. Sorry, but that is the only way you really scare the Chinese government. It is really a bad message when you boycott the Olympics yet you still give them money.

I would hope that you would be able to understand an exaggeration for effect like "everything". In the future I will use "multitude" so I don't offend your delicate sense of accuracy.

My overall point is that people seem to want to send a really strong message but don't actually want to inconvenience themselves at all.

Yeah, same reason as why no one ever boycotted oil from Iraq/Iran/Venezuela/etc. (as far as I know).

Iran is one of the biggest oil producers (top five for sure), it has a much worse regime than China, yet I don't see many people boycotting fuel made from Iranian oil.
