BEIJING - By dawn, thousands of Chinese stood in Tiananmen Square to commemorate the day 64 years ago that Chairman Mao proclaimed the birth of the People's Republic of China. At home, where Chinese censors prevent any mention or discussion of that event, the square is a major draw for Chinese tourists visiting the capital. After repeated complaints about the behavior of members of Chinese tour groups here and overseas, authorities here issued online Tuesday the "Guidebook for Civilized Tourism." This 64-page rule book asks Chinese travelers headed overseas, often for the first time, to avoid littering, spitting, shouting, wasting food, carving graffiti, nose-picking, and to not urinate in swimming pools. "Some Chinese people have only just become rich, and many of them are still poor, use up all their time struggling for a better life, and have no time to improve their social morality."
