Was just about to post this. I think he's correct. China would probably ban NBC from broadcasting if they actually took Mitt's suggestion, which would be amazing, and America would forever after that insist that they won't participate in events where the authorities can create arbitrary media blackouts.

I think it makes 100% sense. China will definitely win more medals if the US doesn't participate, which is also a boon for them. The only country that loses by our non-participation is the US. An economic boycott and a media highlighting of their crimes against humanity would be excellent.
