So remember when China got the olympics?
Concerns were raised about their human rights abuses. "Don’t worry!" the pundits said. "China will behave because the eyes of the world will be on them and they don’t want to lose face."
So how do we explain this?
What is clear to me that giving China the Olympics is akin to giving a spolied child a sucker to stop them crying in the store. You are just reinforcing bad behaviour.
This whole thing has just confirmed to me why I won’t be watching the Olympics later on this year. And maybe now I will find the time to send notes to major Olympic sponsors to tell them that I am most likely not going to buy their products given their association with a such a regime.
Going to wash a bad taste out of my mouth.
