The USA has a long history of imperialist intervention in China, a history that informs current events and undermines American-sourced criticism of Chinese government actions or policies. See for example:

Some are talking boycotts. Oh irony! Last time the US boycotted the Olympics, it was to protest an invasion of Afghanistan:

Also, there is a larger context in which "pro-Tibet," anti-China actions operate to support Bush Administration goals. That may be worth (re-)thinking about:
