I stay at a nice little hotel in Beijing for $43USD a night. However, during
the Olympics, they have raised their rates ten times to $430USD a night.
The greed of the Chinese is amazing! It is also showing up in the price for
their products. As an importer who does a lot of business with China, I am
beginning to abandon the practice. I can now buy many items cheaper in
EUROPE!

Wake up Chinese! You will LOSE the American market if you don't stop your
greed!

Our newspapers quoted a travel agent saying they advising their clients
not
to go to Beijing during the Olympics because the rooms are costing the
equivalent of CAD$1200 per night.
