The boycott of sport in South Africa really had a big effect on the local population and led to the abandonment of aparteid. True it would be better still if business was not conducted with China.

The comparison with greece and China is poor - String has already mentioned the stupidity of the plane spotters - as the greeks weren't about to execute them. China has the highest rate of execution in the world and is currently occupying Tibet because it has lots of minerals. The occupation takes the form, in part, of moving in ethnic chinese and displacing the local populace - this is a policy that has been going on for decades.
