As I wrote in my previous post this is ridiculous and inappropriate. I am glad that China has now come out with response. In the short article by <a href="http://ap.google.com/article/ALeqM5hQDnW2GT-DtS9R90oarKirZFwOyQD8VJIHHG0">AP</a>, China basically says that, It was out of line for America to say those things, and that China's security measurements, in public places, such as hotels and offices, is "in accordance to international norms." That they specifically only mention public places is interesting, and obvious, as that is all a regular traveler to China should be worried about, and anyone traveling to "non-public" places is probably fully aware that there will be increased security.<div class="blogger-post-footer"><script type="text/javascript"> var gaJsHost = (("https:" == document.location.protocol) ?
