Cynic's Corner: Just as in 1989 or even the more recent 2019-2020 Hong Kong protests, this overall hoopla generated by journalism coverage is simply the West fantasizing again over something that has zero chance of occurring. Just roll in the tanks and troops and start crushing, exploding, and shooting the heck out of anybody that moves. And the CCP will never hear a peep from these hopelessly unarmed and sheepish citizens again for another three decades or so.

INTRO: The BBC said Chinese police had assaulted one of its journalists covering a protest in the commercial hub of Shanghai and detained him for several hours, drawing criticism from Britain’s government, which described his detention as “shocking.”

China disputed the account and said the journalist had not identified himself as a reporter.

“The BBC is extremely concerned about the treatment of our journalist Ed Lawrence, who was arrested and handcuffed while covering the protests in Shanghai,” the British public service broadcaster said in a statement late on Sunday.

“He was held for several hours before being released. During his arrest, he was beaten and kicked by the police. This happened while he was working as an accredited journalist.” (MORE - details)
