>. We need an international boycott on China until they shape up.

Right, so you want to economically cripple China over human rights abuses. Not only is this likely to end in war, millions would likely die from supply shortages.

The capitalist societies banding together to starve China out is unlikely to convert them to your side. It didn't the last time we tried.

Ah, yes. We should continue the status quo, where China continues to perpetuate human rights abuses, as well as utilizing their economic power to influence and control international companies.

We're enabling and funding this. We should stop.

Probably there's a bit of a continuum here between starving China and not batting an eye as they scoop the living eyes out of some poor Falun Gong after they slice him open and cut out all his organs.
