Really - does anyone think that the chinese really care?
This whole thing is blown out of proportion. The Chinese Gov care not that a westerner might want to look at information on TS or Amnesty (but why would you sit inside and read crap on the net when you could be out in a alien city on the other side of the world?).
They know that we know [the western spin] about these things already, what the Chinese gov care about is protecting their own citizens from the lies on the net.
Why they continued to block the hotels is more to do with the difficulty of providing working DNS to specific locations and not others than some kind of evil motive.
