This thread is about going to the Olympics: yes or no. It's not "Hey should we not go to the Olympics, but if we don't obviously that's all that needs to be done, China problem solved". Hopefully people aren't that stupid - some will be, but that's beside the point, it isn't what the thread is about. It's a simple question, go or don't go? Some people seem to think we don't go, because we don't want any part of what will be a big pro-China extravaganza, and some people want to go for the benefit of the athletes, and because they're worried about retribution. Fair enough, room for reasoned disagreement. But the argument, "not going won't stop China from being awful" doesn't make any sense. That's not the point of not going.

And for some people that is the point, so if that’s not you, my comment doesn’t apply to you.
