You never know. The Economist just did an obit (apropos of nothing, I love their obits) of the guy who founded Amnesty International. Their letter writing has been credited with freeing political prisoners in places that would seem more resistent to worries about Western opinion than China is. (Not that I think the Chinese give much of a damn about our opinions, but if they thought it might hurt their export economy....)
