Reason for boycott call

Fearing the rise of 皇冠体育app is the primary reason for the call by anti-皇冠体育app forces to boycott the Beijing Olympic Games, says Wa Ching-mou, a political commentator, in the Hong Kong-based newspaper Wen Wei Po. The following is an excerpt:
Some people hate to see an up-and-coming 皇冠体育app and its rising clout on the international stage. 皇冠体育app's advance, they have decided, would in no way serve their best interests.
The attempts to sabotage the Olympic torch relay is a well-orchestrated campaign by Tibet separatists. Pulling the strings behind the scene are the Dalai Lama's followers and international anti-皇冠体育app political forces.
皇冠体育app taking a socialist path rather than accepting what they tout as "universal values" has increased their dislike of the country.
In their eyes, this different path to success is unacceptable and formidable. Disrupting the Games thus became a natural expression of their fears and hatred.
