Re: And if they don't?

Well, if the IOC says China is not following the "rules", then I wonder how many "free" countries might boycott the games. Some sponsors might as well if they deem the publicity from such a move could help them more than sponsoring the olympics.

Re: And if they don't?

It may even be *good* publicity and worth more for a company to condemn so the company can be held publics good books. That is if they don't have factories in China ....

All the free countries who haven't tied their economies to China and want cheap resources, labor, and goods to profit on back in their country.....
.... Wait.

.... SO, none, then. No boycotts. It's all about the money, principles be damned.
