I notice that the following phrase appears twice in the IETF pages:
a tourist visa is appropriate only if you intend to spend some time either before or after the meeting sightseeing in China
So at the least, one should consider getting a tourist visa ONLY IF one has set aside time for sightseeing before or after the meetings.
