If the USA was imposing Jim crow laws, which is the equivalent of what we are talking about here, Canada would have a moral obligation as a world leader and in human rights to boycott and call international attention to the issue.
China is such a red herring in all of this, because its not an example of being hypocritical, its yet another example of corporate interests trumping human rights.
