[quote=APAULT,336013]The local name registraation helps sometimes, but it has beeen insufficint to get me into hotels in some cities, and if you are obviously not Chinese as in my case, nothing is going to help if they see you and choose to enforce the rules. I have been seeen elsewhere -i nevitable in one case as the hotel was next to the police station, but they were not concerned, probably because it was not those persons' specific responsibility that day! It is an old law dating back to when they really wanted to keep an eye on all foreigners, we were all potential spies. A reason that is also often given is that it is to protect foreigners, they might be in danger in the cheap places. While my safety has never been an issue for me, it is a bit hard to argue with there concern for us. In some cities/towns, I am sure it is a business thiing: the authorities want us to stay in 'their' hotels. One hotel was very clearly run by the establishment, and elsewhere it is safe to asssume hoteliers have strong connections with the authorities.[/quote]
