"The EU Chamber of Commerce in China said it was concerned about the restrictions in Shanghai and was seeking official confirmation on whether similar restrictions would apply in Beijing and other Olympic host cities.
"The introduction of such restrictions without warning creates serious problems for companies operating in China," the EU Chamber said in a statement.
Business consultants say the restrictions are starting to hurt exporters, which in some cases are unable to finalise contracts because their clients' inspectors are unable to get into the country.
Asked about the reported restrictions, Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesman Liu Jianchao said his government was seeking to ensure a safe Games.
"Frankly, with China holding the Olympic Games, we have tightened our security measures, including making necessary changes in visa policy," Liu told a regular news conference.
These changes may make obtaining a visa more troublesome but "will not affect foreigners' normal activities, such as business, study and tourism"

It seems this people are very far away from any business reality - they simply do not have any idea how "day to day" business is working in China - their own home country. Sorry we simply need to go to the factory. We are not carrying bombs, banners, tibet flags (because we are not this "dangerous forces") - we are mainly carrying work with us and bringing business to China.
This is our "normal activities" - just work.
Mr Liu go home, get a massage, watch the Olympics - but please do not talk Visa nonsense - it seems you know nothing about it. You are dismissed !
The "feelings" of many foreigners are hurt very deeply now !
DON'T WORRY - STILL 2 WEEKS TO GO. ENOUGH TIME TO LOCK DOWN THE WHOLE COUNTRY !
Will BUCKETHEAD play at the opening party ? Or is he a "dangerous force" ? At least he is easy to spot - even in a big city like Beijing !
