More BBC

The issue is participation in the (supposed) 'non-political' Olympics.

If there is no connection between politics and the Olympics, why order athletes to give up their right to free speech?

Why does China care - if there is no connection?

I like China and the Chinese - I've lived and worked there - but I have no illusions: China could do a lot to stop the Sudan slaughter: It chooses not to.

Any pressure put by individuals on it to change its mind is welcome.
