The Chinese Saga of Olympic Shame Continues -- Analysis of the
Boycotting 2008 Olympic Games

Analysis of the Boycotting 2008 Olympic Games

A MULTINATIONAL BOYCOTT HAS TAKEN OFF ALL AROUND THE WORLD AND IT HAS 2
MAJOR DIFFERENCES FROM ANY OTHER OLYMPIAN BOYCOTT

Compared to the pride Bejing had eight years ago upon securing the 2008
Olympic Games, the present mood of the Chinese communist regime is
anything but proud; for it is now mired in an embarrassing situation:
the international community is offering a variety of activities aimed at
boycotting the 2008 Olympics. There are even groups in Norway (which
used to keep itself away from international political issues) supporting
the multinational boycott. The Chinese communist regime finds it most
unbearable that their country's own people have participated in these
activities. One example is the 3,000 farmers in Qinghua Village, Fujin
City in China's Heilongjiang Province who have signed a petition
"against the Olympics and in support of human rights."

II. The Boycott Against the 2008 Olympics is Endowed with Political
Justice and Moral Nobility.

Compared with other boycotts in history, the boycott against the 2008
Olympics has two distinguishing features:

To begin with, international human rights groups like Amnesty
International―with supporters from all walks of life, ranging from
politicians, social celebrities, to ordinary college students―have
called for this boycott. They are the driving force behind this
initiative. The Australia-based Human Rights Union―consisting of many
former Canadian political heavyweights, California Congressman Tom
Lantos, former Canadian Secretary of State for Asia-Pacific David
Kilgour, and French presidential candidate Segolene Royal have all
expressed support for this effort.

Yet it is United Nations Children's Fund (UNICEF) Ambassador Mia Farrow
who lends the boycott its muscle. In her article published in the Wall
Street Journal on March 28, 2007, she condemned China for propping up
the regime of Sudan, which "in turn caused the genocide in Darfur."
Additionally, she dubbed the Games "the Genocide Olympics," and called
for a boycott. Furthermore, she wrote another article, singling out
distinguished director Steven Spielberg, who had arrived in Beijing in
mid-March to help Beijing promote the Olympics. She questioned whether
Spielberg had any idea that China's bloody money was behind the genocide
in Darfur. Spielberg responded to her accusation by contacting China's
leader Hu Jintao, condemning the genocide in Darfur, and urging Beijing
to exert its influence on Sudan so as to "end the suffering of people
there."

Currently, Canada is the nation that lends the most powerful voice to
the call for a boycott. Even Canadian college students support the
boycott―of all the student groups participating in this effort, the
Students' Union of Simon Fraser University in Canada are the most active
in support of the boycott. Judging from the many organizations
mentioned, we can conclude that boycott supporters are not limited to
what the Chinese communist regime calls the "anti-China forces"― right
wing Japanese, Falun Gong, or the Taiwanese independence group, nor are
the supporters the so-called "vulgar figures" who intend to acquire fame
through this endeavor.

Secondly, the reason for boycotting the Beijing Olympics has nothing to
do with the personal interest of the advocates. Instead, the concern is
for the human rights situation for the Chinese people and cooperation
between the Chinese communist regime and the Sudanese authorities.
Boycott advocates simply can't tolerate the human rights infringement in
China, Sudan and Zimbabwe, etc. In other words, the boycott against the
Beijing Olympics is the most justified Olympics boycott in history in
terms of morality. Those who participate in the boycott are not
motivated by personal interest, they have simply seen evidence of abuse.
This includes videos of Chinese farmers who are fiercely beaten by baton
wielding police, military forces and mafia who take their orders from
local officials who wish to punish the farmers who resist the regime's
forcible levy on their land. These advocates also know that that the
regime can, without notice, evict Chinese people from their homes in the
name of improving the city. Disgusted by these Chinese authorities,
known by some as the "enemy of the Internet", these advocates sympathize
with the ordinary Chinese individuals who are imprisoned for publishing
their opinions online. They are also aware that China is the largest
source of human organs in the world, and realize the cruelty and
inhumanity used in the all too common practice of forcible abortion.
These advocates also know that, in addition to the violence against
human beings, many animals are unnecessarily maltreated in China. Due to
the above evidence, boycott advocates aim to express a magnificent wish
through their actions: facilitate the improvement of human rights for
the people who live in a country that most of them have not visited.

When compared with the group dumping waste water at boycott activities,
boycott advocates have demonstrated a high degree of morality. Even
Chinese authorities have to admit that those dumping waste water in
protest of boycott activities merely acted out of their own interests.
In the April 7, 2007 a Global Times article, "Individual Politicians
Coerce China, Threatening to Boycott Beijing's Olympics but Receive
Little Support Among Western Media," one Chinese official said, "China
is an economically strong country now. Many countries and companies have
focused their interests here and watch what they need to do to maintain
a good relationship with China." The statement says it all. Other than
the attraction of benefits, the Chinese communist regime is fully aware
that it has no moral inspiration.

The Olympics boycott among Chinese people is especially rare but
thoroughly commendable. Despite the pressure imposed by secret agencies
and police, a petition signed by farmers in Heilongjiang exclaims, "We
want human rights! Not Olympics," indicating that these citizens refuse
to tolerate a miserable life for the sake of this spectacle.
