I think you should never criticise another country because no matter where you will be going home to at the end of the day, its going to be far from perfect.

Whilst China has vastly different politics to England, they operate as they see it necessary and that should be that. It's not our place to visit their country and start a protest when we are there as guests and competitors, if anything it's just rude and embarrassing.

As for clauses like that, I think many countries have similar policy. It makes sense to really, because you might think the sum shines out of Englands backside but people from China and other places obviously see it very different compared to their own home country and could protest about something we do.

You dont often notice the bad until you've been somewhere else for a while and returned.
