The Olympics are made political by the countries that host them. China is using them, as other countries do, to boost their public image. That's the main reason why they put in bids to host.
But if Canada was the only country boycotting, there would be no point.
I am not a big fan of the Olympics being held in one place. They should spit it up into event categories and spread them over a few countries. If it's just about the competition, it shouldn't matter.
