I think these personal boycotts are important and I also participate in them (Nestle, Facebook, etc). But it's unfortunate know that we will likely never be able to match the scale of a boycott from China. edit: However if China keeps doing stunts like this then companies might be able to make the decision not to do business there.

It's why companies with self-imposed principles instead of purchased ones fare better in the long run, and it can't be quantified.
