US Senator Accuses China of Wanting Hotels to Filter Internet

US Senator Sam Brownback contends China is requiring US-owned hotels there to filter Internet service during the Olympic Games.

The Chinese government is requiring US-owned hotels to install Internet filters to "monitor and restrict information coming in and out of China," Brownback said.

"This is an insult to the spirit of the games and an affront to American businesses," he said. "I call on China to immediately rescind this demand."
