Dear Friends,
We should Boycott the 2008 Beijing Olympic!
The original purpose of the Olympic Games, both ancient and modern, is to foster the ideal of, A sound mind in a sound body, and to promote friendship among the nations. The Official Olympic Anthem runs Immortal spirit of Antiquity, Father of the Beautiful and Good. How can these ideals be applied to Beijing, when it is the very heart of all the evil and President Hu Jintao ranks as the most ruthless human rights violator of the world? People have to consider the consequences of the government already a totalitarian and dictatorial against its own people and other nations particularly our country Burma and Sudan.
China is supporting Burma with its economic and geopolitical interests in the country: oil and gas reserves, mineral deposits, and arms sales. China had sold jet fighters, frigates and other heavy military equipment for the Burmese military Junta to crack down on the ethno democratic force and together with Russia is also the first nation to veto the Burmese problem from discussing at the UN Security Council effectively stuffing out the ethno democratic aspirations of the Burmese people.
While the Chinese government is thrilled about the prospect of hosting the Olympics, human rights activists, Burmese people, and governments plan to make it clear to China that its policies on Burma are not a game.
An international outcry over Beijing's hosting of the 2008 Olympic Games has grown steadily louder. How can the premier event in international sports be hosted by a nation complicit in the most heinous international crimes? The Chinese regime is guilty of perpetrating the ongoing destruction of Tibet, supporting the vicious Burmese Junta, engaging in gross domestic human rights abuses, and, perhaps worst of all, facilitating genocide in Darfur and Burma? Beijing's currently enabling attitudes is a real threat that "their" Olympics will be redefined, made the occasion of an unprecedented shaming campaign. Much more potent than a simple boycott--which does more to punish athletes and the entire international sports community--such a campaign, broadly supported, will create precisely the powerful forum for outrage that Beijing works so hard to suppress domestically. But, if the world pretends that the 2008 Games occur in a moral and political vacuum and yet if Darfur and Burma's agony continues, these Games will inevitably be remembered as the Genocide Olympic.
Hence we the undersigned protest the Chinese and shame them in the international eyes, proving beyond doubt that the international community should boycott the 2008 Beijing Olympic game.

It's right time to support Burma Democratic Goverment and China must preasure on SPDC and try to release all political prisoner including Ethnic Leaders Khun Tun Oo and Nobel Peace Price winner Daw Aung San Suu Kyi and U Tin Oo. China should not do opening celebration on Burma's bloody day on 8th of August 2008(20th Annivesary of 8888 in 1988) because it killed hundred of thousands of innocent peaceful demonstrators the day we can not forget and forgive. China must reconsider it .Shame on you

- China government is SUPPORTING the dictators of Burma who are killing CRUELLY own people. Do not say " no " . The people of Burma and the world have eyes , ears and judgement . One clear proof is they used VETO on UN resolution on Burma . They China government know that many people in the world and especially like we the people of Burma are opposing Bejing Olympic IF they are still supporting junta in Burma . But they keep on doing and to be worse , they choose the date 08 / 08 / 08 , purposely or coincidentally and that is ABSOLUTE INSULTING to our poeople of Burma who had historic revolution / demonsrtation to junta in Burma on 8 . 8 . 88 .We did lost thousands of lives . I believe they China government DO KNOW it and just CHALLENGED . PLEASE DO BOYCOT BEJING OLYMPIC . WE DO NEED THE WORLD' S HELP FOR IT. " WE THE PEOPLE OF BURMA ARE HUMAN BEINGS AND CHINA GOVERNMENT CAN NOT IGNORE OR NEGLECT FOR THE MOST IMPORTANT ISSUE OF HUMAN RIGHT IN THIS CIVILIZED WORLD SOCIETY.
