Why aren’t the Chinese Olympics being boycotted?

Earlier this week, when Haile Gebrselassie (the Ethiopian world record holder) announced that he won’t be taking part in the Marathon race in the Olympics because the pollution would harm his health (he is asthmatic)…

…when the BBC broadcast the story, the Chinese government suspended BBC broadcast, because they didn’t want locals from knowing about this story.

Gross levels of pollution
News censorship
Excessive use of teargas on protesters
No improvement on civil liberties or other human rights issues that China is meant to address…

Why haven’t these Olympics been boycotted yet?

Why do you think that there’s just been world-wide apathy regarding the Chines Olympics?

Noooooo!
I was so hoping on seeing him on the track this year
How depressing…
Hopefully, Kenenisa Bekele (Ethiopian distance runner holding as of 2008 the world records in the 5000 meters and 10,000 meters.)
will take us to the Gold !!

Thank you for the info
