Subject: Fwd: visa for China - anonymous

Dave - please leave out my name, because I still want to take this trip (a business trip). However, I can think of no particular reason I might be targeted (other than being a freedom-loving IPer!). Here is what my assistant, who went to get my visa for me, wrote:

FYI--the Chinese gave me something of a hard
time.  I wrote on a sheet of paper that you
are not a journalist.  Your visa says you are
not allowed to engage in news report activities
in China.

Anyway, I do have your passport with proper visa
stamps.


I'd be interested to know if other people are encountering similar requirements....
