China would listen to boycott

JOHN FITZGERALD’S letter (October 8) calling for a boycott of the Beijing Olympics should be given serious consideration. It has become plain that the Chinese view the staging of the Olympics as the most important event to ever take place on Chinese soil.

Any threat made to disrupt these Olympics will be taken very seriously by the Chinese leadership.

These games will be used to show the world how far the Chinese economy has grown and to cement China’s place as a major world power.
