On June 2, the Beijing Organizing Committee of the 2008 Olympic Games issued a set of guidelines for foreigners going to China. This handbook includes an extensive list of rules of conduct for visitors and even emphasizes that ticket holders are not guaranteed visas to enter the country. Authorities will ban anyone who is believed to potentially engage in subversive activities, as foreigners "must not harm China's national security or damage social order."
