China’s human rights and environmental abuses seem to be accelerating as we approach August’s Summer Games in Beijing. If you are angry with their treatment of the Tibetans don’t boycott the games, boycott the sponsors who are seeking to build their brands on top of these issues. The presence of the Games is focusing the world’s attention to a greater degree on China which does not seem to understand how world opinion is reacting to their shut down of a free press, propaganda and the deaths of hundreds of Tibetans.

Update: Protesters worldwide are targeting the Olympic Torch Relay and focusing on sponsors.

Here’s a list of the top worldwide sponsors for the games:

The Coca-Cola Company

Atos Origin

The Eastman Kodak Company

GE

John Hancock

Johnson & Johnson

Lenovo

McDonald’s

Omega

Panasonic

Samsung

Visa
