Dave,
This was priceless ... thanks for sharing :-)
Spencer, who survived the Dallas flood IETF ("gee, look at the pretty
waterfall down the wall in the IAB breakout room"), and is, oddly enough,
posting this from Shenzhen

Looking at it from a threat evaluation framework, it seems
to me that the actual likelihood of something happening
along these lines is pretty small, but the impact of it,
if it did happen, would be enormous, and it's the enormity
of the consequences that makes this look more risky than
meetings in other places where the hotel contract doesn't
include clauses about shutting the meeting down if attendees
criticize the local government.
On the other hand, to put this into perspective, some people might
argue that the chance of a huge winterstorm on the sunday before an
IETF meeting in cities like Minneapolis/Chicago causing the airport to
close for three days, an earthquake striking the bay area/Japan/LA
basin right before/during a meeting or something mundane like a hotel
roof collapsing due to rainoverload and flooding of a hotel are risks
that are perhaps much more worthy to keep the secretariat&IAOC members
up late at night.
