BEIJING (Reuters) - The organizers of this summer's Beijing Olympics Monday reminded foreigners coming to China for the Games to behave, warning them that everything from protesting without permission to sleeping outdoors was banned.

Entry would be banned to anyone who was intent on "subversion" upon arriving in China, those with mental illnesses and sexually transmitted diseases and people who wished to engage in prostitution, the rules read.

Entry would be banned to anyone who was intent on "subversion" upon arriving in China, those with mental illnesses and sexually transmitted diseases and people who wished to engage in prostitution, the rules read.

Upon arrival:
"Oh, that's right. I have bipolar, I think I had better go back home."

foreigners must register with the police upon arrival.

"Foreign spectators will not necessarily automatically get visas just because they have bought Olympic tickets, and still need to apply for visas in accordance with the rules at Chinese embassies," the list says.


Why would anyone want to go to see the Olympics there, given all these restrictions?

China is just asking to have countries boycott and protest their Olympics it seems.
