So we received this response from Hilton today:


Thank you for your inquiry regarding the Recaptcha feature. We appreciate you taking the timxe to contact us.

.

I am sorry but at time you will not be able to access your HHonors account online in China. We believe this is due to the tight restrictions that the Chinese place on internet traffic the Recaptcha feature is currently being blocked so our members cannot access it. Our web administrators are working on a few options for resolving this, but want to make sure that we don't inadvertently cause additional issues with the non-Chinese customers Captcha functionality. We have not been advised of when this will be resolved. I apologize for any inconvienance that this has caused.

The websitevis clearly a work in process. After all the innovation in technology, when all else fails humans still need to resolve the ambiguity they can't program for.
