@Rock_on_2008: How dare China and India try and expand their economies, it's a damned disgrace.
@Profcrab: good point about boycotts and ELECTED governments.
Let's say we boycott the Olympics, then what? China loses face and a bit of money on tourism which is not exactly a large part of the GDP anyway and then......... China gets bad press in WESTERN newspapers (Chinese papers will say that the west boycotted because they are afraid of China's strength and are racist). In this regard you are playing right into the governments hand and feeding the propaganda machine and promoting ignorant nationalism. The human rights record will be brought into the spotlight for a few days or weeks and then what, business continues as usual? It doesn't make any sense.
