Peas will not cancel China appearances, says will.i.am

will.i.am says the Black Eyed Peas will keep their June China appearances despite pressure to pull out, arguing a boycott would punish a whole country.

Will.i.am says the Black Eyed Peas will not cancel their upcoming appearances in China, despite public pressure to pull out. The group, who are planning to tour the country in June, don't want to "punish a whole country", apparently. Will.i.am explains: "If America really wants to make a difference, it should stop importing China's products and pay back its debt. If you boycott China, when do they boycott America for what we're doing in Iraq?"
