Why are we NOT surprised?
This is EXACTLY something China, the anal boil lof the world, would
do! As it keeps Tibet locked up so it can kill as many freedom
fighters and independence advocates as possible before the "Games,"
the pissed-off Commies are also now determined to listen to and focus
on hotel guests to ensure "discussions" of China's criminal nation do
not take place between the sheets.
But if such talk is detected, expect "guests" to be rousted, roughed
up, then frog-marched to the air****t.
This is the way things are done, this is the way the "Chinese brain"
works after 60 years of dictatorial rule and numerous mass murders of
its own people. Mass insanity.
What an Olympic host!
(Actually, a lot of Americans would LIKE Bush to attend the opening;
one WAR criminal welcomed by a WORLD criminal!)

"Senator: China plans to spy on Olympic hotel guests"

WA****NGTON -- A Senate lawmaker accused the Chinese government on
Thursday of ordering U.S.-owned hotels in China to install Internet
filters that can spy on international visitors coming to see the
summer Olympic games.
Sen. Sam Brownback, a Kansas Republican, made the charge at a Capitol
Hill news conference where he and other lawmakers denounced China's
record of human rights abuses and urged President Bush not to attend
the opening ceremonies in Beijing.
"This is wrong, it's against international conventions, it's certainly
against the Olympic spirit," Brownback said. "The Chinese government
should remove that request and that order."
Brownback said he has seen the language of memos received by at least
two U.S.-owned hotels. He declined to name them, and said he obtained
the information from two "reliable but confidential sources" in the
hope that public pressure would persuade the Chinese government to
back off the demand.
The senator called China "the foremost enabler of human rights abuses
around the world" and said the Chinese government is turning the
summer games into "an Olympics of oppression."
Other lawmakers condemned the Chinese government for sup****ting
repressive governments in Sudan and Burma, suppressing dissent in
Tibet and forcibly returning North Korean refugees who flee across the
border, where they face imprisonment and torture.
"The number one accomplice of the genocide in Darfur is the Chinese
government," said Rep. Frank Wolf, R-Va. "No official in the executive
branch, in the judicial branch and particularly in the congressional
branch ought to attend the opening ceremonies of this Olympics."
More than a dozen former North Korean refugees who escaped to China
and suffered beatings, imprisonment and other persecution at the hands
of Chinese officials attended the news conference to discuss their
plight.
While China wants the Olympics to be a sign of the country's growing
prominence on the international stage, Sen. Robert Menendez, D-N.J.,
said the country's actions confirm that "the Chinese people still live
under an iron fist."
"The Chinese government was awarded the games on the understanding
that it would work to significantly improve it's human rights record,"
Menendez said. "Clearly, it has not."
Brownback said he would press his case for Bush not to attend the
Olympic opening ceremonies when the president visits tornado-damaged
Greensburg, Kan., on Sunday.
Thus far, Bush has given no indication he will skip the Beijing event.
