Why all this increase in interest in human rights in Tibet now?  Just because 
it's an olympic year and people want to embarass the chinese and call for 
boycotts?  The US empire is on the decline.  What nation will fill the void 
and become the new world empire?  When one empire falls another one 
inevitably rises.  The US filled the void of the declining spanish empire in 
the new world.  After the decline of the british empire, the US also became a 
major economic power.  Once the chinese learn to play the capitalism game 
well enough they will become the new world economic superpower. Boycott if 
you want, millions of people around the world are still going to buy their 
cheaper clothes, gadgets and other products. That's globalisation and free 
markets.  The US and EU are unlikely to call any kind of official boycott.  A 
lot of chinese financial reserves are in US currency.  The chinese can easily 
inflict severe damage on the US exchange rate by switching to another 
currency. The chinese can boycott also.
