See this Engrish poster which created quite a bit of laughter on the Chinese internet for some possible consequences :-) | |

I've seen this done with hotels that really just one-night apartment rentals. I imagine this is given to the local police. | |

| Jan 1, 2019 at 1:52 | comment | added | Crazydre | @FranckDernoncourt Dunno about China, but in Bosnia, Serbia and Macedonia, hotel staff either store the registration forms for themselves, or give part of the form to the police in person. Or they may send the data electronically to the police and hand the guest the confirmation receipt | |
