China going down the freedom fries route

How original. Oh no, France failed to protect the sacred flame of Nike, IBM, GE and Coke. Damn you French! Damn you! Oh the humanity!

Chinese internet blogs and chat-rooms are full of calls for a boycott of French goods and contracts since the raucous protests which forced the Olympic torch off the streets of Paris last Monday.

French businessmen in China say that they are worried by apparently spontaneous signs of anti-French feeling but say that there is no sign, so far, of any official willingness to "punish" Paris.

How about another series of violent street riots just like the government tolerated (if not more) against the Japanese a few years ago. Please riot against the rest of the world so everyone can re-think and re-locate manufacturing to another location. Heaven forbid. How will the west ever survive?
