Because as shown quite colorfully in the recent attacks on Google and others, it doesn't only affect people within China. I believe Martin Luther King said it best when he said "Injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere" in his famous Letter from a Birmingham Jail:
Moreover, I am cognizant of the interrelatedness of all communities and states. I cannot sit idly by in Atlanta and not be concerned about what happens in Birmingham. Injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere. We are caught in an inescapable network of mutuality, tied in a single garment of destiny. Whatever affects one directly, affects all indirectly.
