Beijing Strikes Gold
Human rights activists and observers who hope that the Beijing Olympics will spur heads of state, spectators, or athletes to speak out on behalf of victims of the Chinese regime's oppression should prepare to be disappointed. The only demonstrations are likely to be those celebrating China’s massive gold medal count.

MADISON, WISCONSIN – On the eve of the Beijing Olympic Games, many human rights activists and observers continue to hope that the Chinese Communist Party’s embrace of odious regimes such as Burma’s and Sudan’s, and its oppression of Tibetan Buddhists, Uighur Muslims, and Falun gong spiritualists, will lead democratic heads of state to boycott the Olympics, or athletes and spectators to demonstrate on behalf of the victims. I doubt it. The only demonstrations are likely to be those celebrating China’s massive gold medal count.
