THBT we should boycott the Beijing Olympics for security

Hey Paul! Glad to meet you and I appreciate your ideas! Hope the debate goes well! My English is poor, pls bare with me There are several issues and underlying assumptions that I would address Firstly,The opposition basically informed us that global warming and the emission of CO2 can lead to security threat towards the international community, which doesn't stand. Because China alone doesn't contribute the majority of pollution, and if we calculate the Co2 output per capita, it's not even in the top 10 polluters in the world. Additionally, as we know that majority of the Chinese companies/ factories in China are not Chinese owned, but rather foreign invested. So blaming the Chinese Government for this is rather inaccurate. In fact, majority of the pollution that came from China are directly used for the soaring production of goods and supplies which are sold all over the world, such as automobiles, plastics and clothing. I.e. the Chinese are not using the energy for purpose of enjoying and entertaining themselves but rather produce what's needed. Therefore there is no reason to boycott China on economical growth and Pollution We believe that China had been trying to create a well developed economical and political relationships with both rich and poor nations. In fact, these common interests are beneficial multilaterally for nations in term of financial surplus and capital exchange. Japan and Taiwan alone enjoy over 150 billion trade surplus per year and it's expected to accelerate quickly over next few years. So the Chinese economical development doesn't create any security issue. I agree to the fact that Beijing's air quality is not as superior, which is actually cause by chronic weathering desertification from the western China, which dehydrated air molecules and forms dust. However to boycott this ecological disorder, which is not going to be solved in short period of time, will be fruitless. In fact, the Chinese Government had been heavy handedly dismissing a majority of industries before and during the Olympic games which ensures and standard of air quality within the region, On the other hand shows that there is a significant political will towards combating for better air quality. However, we need to understand that it's not easy for the Chinese Government single handedly monitor every river, every forest being damaged and of course the protection is currently in progress through law enforcement, which is within the status quo. Thus again, this is not the reason to boycott the Olympic. Secondly we also argue that the Chinese military power can not and does not impose any security threat and it had been over exaggerated through media. In fact, the technological advancement of weaponry is still years away from the super powers, such as Russia, USA and many European nations. We also have to understand that history did teach China to protect itself, its citizens and wealth. Before reunion of China, in 1949, it was completely tarred apart by western nations; recall the unequal treaties being signed by the Chinese Government after losing battle against other nations. This teaches Chinese people to defend itself better. But on the other hand, China does not wish over take counties with its military superiority, which we can see through the war in India during the 1950s. Thus it's justified for an economically recovered China to protect itself. Conlusion, Majority of your arguments are based on long term stability of the China, such as poverty, rights and etc, which can't be solved through boycotting. China is developing but still poor; however, it's opening itself up, for example accepting ideas & opinions from other nations, Involvement of international affairs and supporting nations which needed help. This clearly shows that China is progressing itself without the catalyst of boycotting the Olympic and trust me this act would not do any good, but rather create distrust between nations. China is trying it's best to present itself in the international community and to solve the problems ahead. This debate is about weather or not china is moving towards the right direction, and certainly China is.
