They absolutely did, where were you? The abuse of Tibet, religious minorities, prison without trial, re-education through labour, etc. There were protests during the entire length of the games. Most western nations compared it to Hitler's games in 1936 (much like is being done with Russia's games). Plus, the 'china was worse so we can't complain about Russia' argument is banal and frankly ignorant. China also never had a policy where you could be jailed just for your genetics.
Besides, it's a patch we're talking about, I don't see how that's being "up in arms"..... oh, did you mean the patch would go on the upper arm? I guess it could. Great idea!
