HMMM, Perhaps I am wrong. I do recall this being a very big no--no when I was there in 1991, but I don't recall anyone actually doing it and offending anyone in China. We were just told not to do it. Later on in the same trip, we went to Vietnam and Ido recall two americans taking a picture of one of the Mau Se-Tung busts and one had his arm around the bust poiting his finger at Mau Se-Tung--Like two friends taking a picturetogether. This created quite an uproar and those two individuals had to leave the country early. But again, that was in Vietnam, not China---
