"Mr President, the recent events in Tibet have been atrocious, despicable and we all condemn them, as we should condemn many other acts of inhumanity by the totalitarian regime in China.
But, at the same time as we condemn them, we still trade in billions of euros with China. Nobody in this House today has said that we should take action to hurt the Chinese totalitarian regime where it will feel the pain most, which is in economic terms. The Commissioner here has in the past defended in this House the position that we should not take any embargo economic action against China.
So let us not kill the Olympic spirit. Let us not destroy it, but let us try to destroy the dictatorship in Beijing and let all of us stop buying Chinese if we want to do something practical."@en1
