British Reporter gets detained/transported by Chinese police while LIVE on AIR

"Sky News reporter Mark Stone suggests early on, in his live broadcast from the back of a Chinese police van, that one word got him there: 1989."

It is also Been suggested that Mark Smith and the author of the article don't know the difference between the number 1 and 3.
 
The officer then takes the Orwellianism to the next level by explaining that Stone and his team are neither being detained nor are they free to go. They can do whatever they like, except that they must go sit in an empty classroom and wait for some unnamed officials to show up.

Lmao. That's some Bill Clinton level of speech there.

No wonder they're always trying to block cameras with their hand.

Wouldn't it be cool though if the "offending word" had been 1984?

Hah, glad I am not the only one who thought of Slick Willy when watching this...


"Are we being detained?"

"No, you're not being detained."

"So we are free to go?"

"No, you can't leave. You are not being detained."
 
very respectful LEOs.

IF it had been in the US they would have beat the shit out of them and tazed them.

That Police officer was actually very respectful. I don't see that happening here in the land of the free.

He was only respectful because they were foreigners and they were journalists. He spoke English well. How many Chinese police officers do you think speak good English? This cop, or his unit, was made for these types...

If this was a regular Chinese citizen he would have been whisked away and never heard from again. Also, they expected this in a place like that square. Look at what happened to Christian Bale in some shitty part of China. He was manhandled when he sought the blind activist and his van was stoned as it left the vicinity.

I was wondering that as well.
Once they get a translator there to review the video taken by the Chinese officer, which includes the reporter's talk of "They think this is being recorded for later, but it's actually being broadcast live" is properly understood by the authorities...I wonder how that'll go over?

"Sorry, we bypassed your oppression measures, and tried to dupe your officers."
