Another brick in the wall

U.S Senator Sam Brownback, claims that some Beijing hotels had their arms twisted on their back and was forced to install surveillance equipment to spy on their guests Internet usage.
At a conference he handed out translated documents to back his claims. According to the documents, hotels who fail to comply with the instructions will be fined 5.000 yuan for an individual and 15.000 yuan for an organization.
I wonder who’s more paranoid, the Chinese government or everyone else. Like the US can complain with all their wiretapping–they must be really bored listening in on my conversations with my parents. I’m so glad I’ll be in Malaysia and Thailand during the big event…you couldn’t pay me enough to go to Beijing again.
Yes – I have to agree that I feel the same way as you. Would like to get a hold of those documents though.
