China were awarded the Olympics on the basis they improved their human rights, something they have not done.

I supposed I have a a biased view on this subject, having been interested in Tibetan Buddhism for many years, and you only have to talk to Tibetans for a short while to understand the depth of suffering of these people. Expand that to the other abuses visited on the country's citizens and for me, it's too much to ignore.

I just can't be part of this lie - I have real sympathy for the athletes who have trained so hard and whose lives have lead to this point. Good luck to each and every one of them, and I hope things do change in China, but I doubt it.

No one cares, no-one listens. Money to be made, can't let human rights get in the way of a running race. What a world.
