[quote=CANADAGUY,349722]It's interesting to hear all of the explanations for this form of discrimination. Any country has the right, of course, to do as it chooses, but it still seems like a slap in the face when it happens to you firsthand. Last year I experienced this discrimination when I was looking for a hotel in Shanghai with my Chinese girlfriend. They had no problems giving her a room, but when they saw me it was game over. Give the current state of affairs in the country, with its bustling economy (in general) it becomes increasingly difficult to accept the standard explanations for this two-tier practice. After all is said and done, one is left with the impression that it is simply another way for the country to take advantage of foreigners. Even in hotels that accept foreigners, my girlfriend was able to 'negotiate' more acceptable room rates. This shouldn't be necessary in the first place. [/quote]
