I don't follow your logic here ... it's okay because everyone else is doing it?
I think my point is that I don't see why you (?) would be going tot he extent of boycotting their olympics and such, would you do that for the USA?

I also don't see the correlation between the olympics and their human rights problems. I think if you see issue with it, your efforts are better suited with things like supporting Amnesty International and organizations like that. (Just my opinion, not trying to tell you what to say or think)
