Participants in the coming Olympic Games, domestic and foreign, should abide by Chinese laws, said Beijing Vice Mayor Liu Jingmin Wednesday.
People must apply to the city police for holding demonstrations and the police will decide to approve it or not in line with laws, Liu told a press conference on the sidelines of the annual session of China's top political advisory body.
"We do not hope the sports event is entangled with political issues, or we don't want to see a grand gathering of athletes across the world turned into a political show which violates the Olympic spirit," he said.
