You just failed at ever being taken seriously on any subject. In the future you may talk to the hand because nothing you say will matter one tiny little bit to me.

Exactly. No matter how welcome they were that has changed, a possible reason recently may be the Chinese government informing the priesthood that they couldn't choose the next Dalai Lama because they would be doing it instead. If China were a democracy or republic the matter would be simple but since China is an Elitist Totalitarian state unless their economy crumbles like the USSR did from both inside and outside pressures it is extremely unlikely that protests in Tibet will get them anything but dead. Since China is such a large super power in the world right now there isn't a whole lot other governments can do politically other then disapproving without risking serious damage to their economy. So the only thing left is for the citizens, most of us here, to decide if we are going to continue to support their government or boycott their events and/or products.
I myself have no intention in watching the Olympics this year due to the situation unlike usual also whenever possible I will buy non-Chinese made products. Yes it is a small thing but it is my choice and if enough people do it there will be a far greater effect then out government leaders shaking their fingers and telling the Chinese government that they have been naughty.
