China's slowly but surely lifting the wall on HIV. The communist nation announced that it will ease restrictions on international HIV-infected travelers.
Under a 1994 law, foreigners applying for a residency permit in China must take an HIV test. Visitors to the country are asked to declare whether they have the virus – and can be refused entry or deported if they do. The law also affects those with other sexually transmitted diseases or tuberculosis.
But Mao said China's attitudes have changed. "At present, we are considering, and we are changing the present regulation that stops foreigners with HIV and AIDS from entering the country, and this job is under way.
The nation also made headlines this year when it committed to distributing condoms in public arenas. Chinese officials have not yet said when they'll alter the laws. Those commies sure do play their cards close…

I have been to Beijing and those expecting housing and Mao jackets and little red books touted by Mao Tse Tung followers will be sorely disappointed.
Shanghai, Hong Kong, Macau and Beijing's fast growing economy and high university and higher graduate degreed programmes have created a future group of individuals who can create the major capitalist fascist economy self-sustaining itself in this world. The sheiks want to sell all the oil energy they need to fuel their economy and your Mr. Walton of Wal-mart Sams Neighbourhood Market fame is providing them the trillions to do it. Gasoline will be ten dollars a gallon before the end of the American Empire.
