...and no free press either "....The border police have apologized after they ``clashed'' with the journalists who were trying to film a restricted area under police control, Xinhua said. The journalists have accepted the apology and police offers to pay for repairs to their damaged equipment and medical bills, the Chinese state news agency said. Police also entered the hotel room of an AFP photographer and forced him to delete photos he had taken of the attack scene in Kashgar, AFP said in a separate report."

 

Interesting that they quoted "the Chinese state news agency" that the journalists were OK with it. Makes you wonder where the journalists were ?

 

Ha ha, nice sleight of hand trick.

They have a 100,000-strong security force on alert for terrorists while 300,000 surveillance cameras watch the city. Makes you wonder if you can even see Tienanmen square or Maos tomb with all the green uniforms crawling on it. Wow, 300,000 cameras.
