    That’s a fantastic move but it also goes under “worst guy you know makes a great point”.

      And that guy is likely lying about it too.

        They didn’t include government surveillance in that. I don’t doubt for a second the Chinese government’s willingness to regulate hotel door locks and whatnot. Better question is how much resources go into enforcement (zero isn’t a terrible bet) and how quickly businesses respond to the new regulations (I honestly don’t know China in that respect but I could see an American hotel in the same situation waiting until somebody proverbially twisted their arm on the issue).
