Echoes of 1980
What lessons can be learned from the more than 50 country boycott of the Moscow Olympic Games of 1980? The protest movement was led by American President Jimmy Carter to punish the Soviets for invading Afghanistan, but the Soviets would remain in Afghanistan for the next decade. It was the Olympic athletes who suffered the most from the largest political protest in history.
Hmm… What if Sun Yat-sen had the same thought in late 1800’s about starting a revolution, thinking about all the good revolutions did earlier ? Mao, on the other hand, probably said “Sun can do it, so can I!! Here I come.”
