Suspension of visa-free China trips for Singaporeans

At present, Singapore ordinary passport holders who travel to China for 15 days or less do not require a visa; only those who spend more than 15 days need to produce a visa. But starting 1 July, Singaporeans who travel to China for 15 days or less will also require a visa. The Ministry of Foreign Affairs (MFA) said it has been given the assurance by the Chinese authorities that the suspension is only a temporary measure. According to the ministry, the visa-free facility for travels of 15 days or less "would be reinstated after the Beijing Olympics", although no exact date has been given. - CNA/ac

This must be one of the most infuriating news this morning...What temporary measure? For what? To give people more reasons to boycott the Olympics? What are they so afraid of? What about those of us who are working in Hong Kong and needs to travel into China frequently on short business trips? This is ridiculous...
