why a country like China, where apparently (again, I'm just talking from what I know as an outsider) human rights are not always respected and where the government doesn't hesitate to use even violent methods to suppress opposing forces (wether it's about politics, or religion, or both), has been picked as the host for the Olympic Games?

Money. There's a lot of money in China right now. And most international sports competitions have more to do with ads than with anything else... and serving a population of more than a billion people is quite tempting, I'm willing to assert.
