Possibly there are two types of thinking going on
1 clear out as many foreigners as possible to reduce the risk of terrorist/activists/DL-ists/evangelists/other problems and make the games as safe as possible to attract millions of foreign tourists . . . . [who might also be terrorists/activists . . . ]
2 clear out all the detritus that has been accumulating in China for the past 10 years
. . . who knows. Somehow it doesn’t quite fit in with the Olympic spirit.

‘I wonder if there’s a way to refuse visas for the boozing, teenage-girl chasing “teachers” ‘ – yes, they are a problem too and come in all ages and sizes. I’m sure there is a way but it would probably involve something more subtle than the heavy-fisted PRC bureaucracy can cope with, at the moment. Unfortunately all westerners look weird to the PRC, but they can’t tell the difference between ‘western weirdness’ and ‘real weirdness’.

About Hanzi on wordpress – there is no special plug-in that I’m aware of.

I first came to China as a new grad, on a one year adventure, so I have some sympathy for the gap year travelers. I wonder if there’s a way to refuse visas for the boozing, teenage-girl chasing “teachers” only…

I didn’t notice that about the Chinese character, but I probably should have because my blogroll has ??? instead of names. Hey, you have a wordpress blog, do you have a Chinese characters plugin?

@ under 25s – possibly this means there will be fewer backpackers and gapfillers ‘working’ their way around the schools.

PS were you aware that your comment facility doesn’t accept Chinese characters? Bring back the Violent Clips.
