I think it is safe to assume that the government did run some checks

The government has been negotiating to bring an IETF meeting to China
since 1997, and has been very carefully vetting the IETF's activities
for a long time. U betcha they know what we're doing.

Up to *at least* the level of a Vice Minister of the PRC Government, from my
personal knowledge. Roughly the same level as the US Government's direct contact
with the IETF, also from my personal knowledge. There is nothing sinister
there; we should be flattered.

However, I have a question to the IAOC: do we know if other standards meetings
such as 3GPP had to sign similar conditions before meeting in the PRC?
