I would visit China..... After the Chinese people overthrow the CCP ha

Possibly. There's so many story ideas right now. Anything about that in particular you'd want to hear? -Chris

Me too Sean

Great episode!

excellent show.

I've been living in China for two years now, and I (a caucasian American) go everywhere with my native Chinese friend (a fellow professor at the university I work at). We share hotel and hostel rooms all the time. I think there might be more to the story than simply trying to segregate Chinese and foreigners. When you check in anywhere, they scan your passport, so it's possible this person has been flagged by the government, possibly for religious or political reasons.

So what about Chinese born overseas, and Chinese from overseas?

I'm currently living in China and my Chinese wife is telling me so many bullshit its crazy.

Me three!

I long for the days of the Tang Dynasty (at least in the 1st half or so) when foreigners were welcomed people mixed, shared culture, etc. Even the famed poet Li Bai had some non-Han ancestors from what I gathered from some books. Look what a little diversity can do for a country. Only toward the end did they start to separate people in the cities, forbid inter-marriage, etc. reducing this cultural mixing. Perhaps one of the reasons for the dynasty's falling prosperity and eventual downfall?

Hahahaha. 
You don't need a "name" for this "rule". 
When the police tells you, you can't stay with your Chinese mate in one room, then you just can't, and don't dare just to think about arguing. 
I can confirm this ridiculous rule. 
My Chinese wife and me had already the same problem. But it's getting better meanwhile. Just in some tiny small towns they still "obey" this rule, if you don't know somebody, who knows someone, who has a friend, who's collegue can vouch for you.
