Recently appointed Chinese Foreign Minister Yang Jiechi warned activists planning to start a boycott against the 2008 Beijing Olympic Games that their campaign would fail, and that they should not “politicize” the Olympics.
Human rights activists and over 100 politicians have called for a boycott on the Beijing Olympics to show contempt over China’s arm trade with Sudan. They’ve asked the Chinese president to use China’s influence and position to help end the genocide.
The move comes after China appointed an envoy to deal with the Darfur region after they were accused of breaking a UN arms embargo by continuing to sell arms to Sudan - an oil provider.
