Is the nintendo wii region free? can I play it in the US if I bought it from china?

I plan on traveling to china next month and I want to know if the Nintendo Wii is region free, that is if I can play it here in America. If there are any adapters needed, information on those would also be appreciated. I also want to know if the games are region free. Thanks.

P.S. Does anyone know if GTA 4 will be coming out on the Wii, I heard some rumors but I don't know anything for sure, what do you think?

Answers:
I would not think so, the games are the same but the video signals are different, so a British disc would not play on a USA console or it would not show the graphics correctly,
England = PAL
USA = NTSL
France = SECAM and so on.

I would not recommend it as it is an expensive thing to have sitting around doing nothing.
probally because you can interact with other palyers worldwide and chat and stuff like that.
No GTA 4 for the Wii
No it is not region free
Why bother buying it from china?
