China to 'tighten control' on foreign bands

State to crack down on bands after Bjork outburst

"Hurt Chinese people's feelings"???!!! I doubt most of the Chinese people know about Bjork's statement due to the fact that China has no free press and internet access is tightly controlled so her comments can't have hurt the people more than the way their human rights are stomped on everyday by the government who can't take the slightest (and totally justified) criticism. And look at the reaction! No bands should go there, most ordinary Chinese people will be denied the chance to see them anyway. YorkshireNed hit the nail on the head, vile and heartless is what the Chinese government are. And they get the Olympics....
