hmmm....there are so many ongoing issues such as :
-issues on Tibet (genocide, oppression, forced-chinese influx into Tibetian territories, cultural destruction, & etc.)
-rising tensions amongst the Chinese and the minority ethnics,
-very poor track record on human rights and freedom of the press,
-demolition of homes causing locals to live off the streets just to make way for the game
With these issues, there are rising support for a global boycott on the games to send a message to the chinese govt.
Just like the boycott of the 1980 Moscow Olympics.....sending a strong message to the Russians after their invasion of Afghanistan.
juz wanna know what u guys think of it....
It's only 1 month they show Olympics while they show EPL 47 months in between.. it's already a natural boycott.-issues on Tibet (genocide, oppression, forced-chinese influx into Tibetian territories, cultural destruction, & etc.)
