"Actually, on a non-confrontational note it's hard to see USA and Britain boycotting."

On that we do agree - in all honesty there's little or no chance of a boycott unless the Taiwan situation escalates beyond all control and this is not beyond the bounds of possibility as Taiwan will be holding a referendum regardin Tiawan's entry to the UN (a step widely seen as the precursor to a declaration if independence), a move which will anger China and fears are this could provoke the PRC into military confrontation, as China has said it will retake the island by force if it attempt to secede from the Republic.

Still, the world seeks to placate China instead of deal head-on with the problems it is creating worldwide (try googling for Chinese construction projects in Africa -not good news again), a case of everyone burying their heads in the sand. Which is fine, but it leaves their arses sticking up in the air inviting a mighty big kick from you-know-who.
