> You'll also be denied entry at most hotels that aren't 4-5 star because they don't allow foreigners, ... This reminds me the trip to Shanghai in 2013. We were a group attending Student Cluster Competition at ASC13 [1]. The first night we arrived Shanghai, we were rejected by one or two hotels, with the reason that they cannot accept foreigners （外賓: direct translation to "foreign guests"） to stay. It is so irony that Taiwanese are treated as Chinese citizen at airports but not at hotels. An another funny but out-of-topic story during the trip is at the first day of the competition. Team members got their T-shirts with school name, "National Tsing Hua University, Taiwan." But after the opening ceremony, we were asked to return the T-shirts soon. The new ones arrived in the afternoon with "Taiwanese Tsing Hua University" on it. But you can find that the first press release [2] was not updated correspondingly. My personal interpretation to this was that, it is safe to assume that CCP ideology is not rooted in Chinese academic people, but as they notice anything that might be inappropriate they would still eliminate potential threats to ASAP for their good.
