Comments on Beijing will allow provincials into the capital for the Olympics
Allowed into the capital to do what? Mingle with foreign tourists? That'll be fun to watch.
Either way the result will be interesting to see.
If they are not allowed how much of a problem will that cause the authorities. If they are allowed to attend how much of a problem will that be. Could be big numbers either way.
