Free the olympics!

China has just announced a ban for all foreign students during July and August. Several tens of thousands of students have to leave the country for the Olympics. Affected are also academics and scientists of foreign origin.

If somebody in the IOC still had infantile illusions about how much the Olympics would help to reform China, now at the latest he should have been lectured for the better.

Criterions for Visas already had been made sharper.

Officially they say it is about the international terror threat. But that all regions of the world and all nations are affected by the new regulations, is a contradiction. It does not take a rocket scientists that they want to expell all person groups that even show a limited risk of raising unwated political questions.
