China has raised the level of security due to the Beijing Olympics and gives hard times to many countries including Turkey about issuing visa.

Before the Olympics, China has blocked Islamic countries including Turkey in the Olympic games. Chinese government started taking measures because of the Olympic games to be held between August 8th and 24th and made it harder to get a visa for many countries. Some Turkish workers in the region of Beijing were sent to their hometowns till the end of the Olympics.
