France is the first country to take a stand regarding China's treatment of Tibet. If China does not back off Tibet, France might boycott the Opening Ceremonies of the 2008 Beijing Olympics... Come on, how much weight does that carry? You "might" boycott the "opening ceremonies?" Is that really a threat? That is like me saying I am boycotting dinner but I will be there for ice cream. Sometimes it is better to not say anything at all.
It will be interesting to see how the boycott notion pans out for all countries. My bet is that economic interests will surely trump any humanitarian wrongdoings and there will be no boycotts of anything significant...
