China ‘using internet spy filters’
A US politician has accused the Chinese government of ordering US-owned hotels in China to install internet filters that can spy on international visitors coming to watch the summer Olympic games. Republican Senator Sam Brownback made the claim as he and other politicians denounced China’s record of human rights abuses and called on President George Bush not to attend the opening ceremonies in Beijing.

Brownback called China “the foremost enabler of human rights abuses around the world” and said the Chinese government is turning the summer games into “an Olympics of oppression”.

At a news conference, Brownback and the other politicians also condemned the Chinese government for supporting repressive governments in Sudan and Burma, suppressing dissent in Tibet and forcibly returning North Korean refugees who flee across the border, where they face imprisonment and torture.
