China bans Middle East Visitors excerpt: CHINA has sparked anger across the Middle East after it put people from 20 countries and areas across the region, including Israel, on a secret security blacklist ahead of this week's Asia Pacific Economic Co-operation summit (APEC) in Shanghai. Middle Eastern and Israeli citizens have found themselves banned from Chinese airlines and denied visas since the September 11 attacks, and they have been barred from Shanghai hotels during the APEC meeting.
Sounds like a prudent thing to do, now maybe the outraged middle eastern countries will step up to help root out the evil that resides in a lot of their countries. DaDakota
