If you’re traveling to Beijing for the Olympic parties, the Chinese government has a few dos and don’ts for you – well, a list of don’ts really.
As befitting a communist nation, the Chinese authorities have a list of “don’t-you-dares”. If you are looking for a party, don’t get drunk. We all know how tequila or sake (or whatever the party beverage is in China) and the heat can affect you, but the government asks you refrain from streaking. No, really. They specifically said “no streaking”.
Chinese government: Don't drink too many of these!
One of my favorite things to do is to light fireworks in third world countries after a few beers. My friends and I used to travel to Rocky Point, Mexico, (Puerto Penasco) and light fireworks on the beach. Again the Chinese government asks you do not light fireworks.
Foreigners must respect Chinese laws while in China and must not harm China's national security or damage social order.
And no sleeping outside! The government specifically asks you do not sleep outside to save money. We’re assuming passing out drunk is out too, since they do not want you to get drunk. What is the legal limit in China anyways??
Another item which tops the “don’t-even-think-about-it” is no insulting banners. This is a bit vague. I’m sure signs which say “Remember the Alamo Tiananmen” or “China belongs to Taiwan” are verboten, but what else is offensive? Maybe “Go USA – We love you long time”?
And above all, if you have mental illnesses or sexually transmitted diseases don’t even come. I’m not sure how they are checking this at the border, but you have been warned. We're not sure what the consequences are, but they do have forced labor camps. No spankings here.
So have fun while in China, just not too much fun. Party with your clothes on!
Remember...
No sleeping outside
No streaking
No getting drunk - is tipsy ok?
No mental illness or STDs!!!

I believe that the idea of restricting this is very good. This way they will prevent this event from a lot of unpleasant action that might happen during it.
