Yeah, it's a rather confusing and complex issue. Or, should I say, issues? It's difficult to know where to draw the line. I've heard about some people refusing to buy anything made in China, which really makes it hard to buy anything...at all! *g*

I do feel sorry for the athletes who have been caught up in all this. I don't know if I could give up something I'd worked years to achieve because I disagree with Chinese politics. I mean, it's easy enough for me to announce that I'm boycotting the Olympics because I'm not actually sacrificing anything. With the athletes, it's an entirely different story.

It will be interesting to see if people protest the 2014 Olympic Games. I guess will have to wait and see...
