If you want to enact change, you have to use whatever means is appropriate.

In a democratic country that is supposed to uphold human rights, public acts such as these can have a strong positive impact.

In an autocratic country such as china, the impact would be zero. Often, limited engagement can have a better impact.

Google pulled out of China out of principle. Not sure it made any impact. But that's what principles are about, you make a stand regardless.
