A couple of things, let’s not talk about “western values”. Japan and Korea are not holding hostages, the PRC is. Secondly, the “Republic of China”, known as Taiwan is also not holding hostages and is also a democratic country.
Secondly, there is no way that any sort of protests conducted in the PRC will ever be seen by either PRC citizens or even in the west. I certainly do not remember any from Bejing 2008.
