Well
Supporting the Beijing olympics seems to me pretty much as bad as supporting the German olympics (if I'm right in thinking that this was a while before the nazis had invaded anywhere.)

But I don't expect or require soft drink manufacturers to know this.

Governments, now, that would be nice.

China:
Support North Korea, who test nerve gas on the families of dissidents.

Would very much like to invade Taiwan.

Chop bits off political criminals.

But I can't remember the details so I'll shut up now before I make some embarrassing mistake.

When Manchester went for the olympics
a LMR (or whatever that cockney station is) presenter said that it had a marginally worse human rights record than beijing. I think he may have been wrong.
