The olympics are not about the country that they are in, they are about the unadulterated competition of athletes from around the world. While people can take pride in their own countries competitors, I believe it is best that politics be put aside. Again, it is not my intention to downplay the reasons that you believe China shouldn't have the privilege, I just want to stress that the olympics could be held anywhere and the athletes still have to perform the same task.
