Service Guide for Foreign Media Coverage of the Beijing Olympic Games and the Preparatory Period
Beijing Organizing Committee for the Games of the XXIX Olympiad.
Available online.
"The Guide covers such a dozen matters as visa application, customs clearance, travel and interview, employment of Chinese mainland citizens, rental of housing and offices, application for radio frequency occupation, acquisition of a temporary driving permit, taxation and insurance with which accredited media organizations for the Beijing Olympic Games, including rights-holding broadcasters, accredited written and photographic press, as well as non-accredited media are generally concerned for the coverage of the Beijing Olympic Games. The Guide has done its best to give client-oriented interpretations to every section and detailed step by step explanation to the procedures to satisfy the needs of the media."
Here is a critique of these policies and procedures from Human Rights Watch.
