What Protesters Could and Could Not Say During Demonstrations In Front of Japanese Embassy
On September 17, 2012, the state-sponsored Caixin Magazine published a report entitled " Closer Look: How a Protest in Beijing Stuck to the Script. " An excerpt: A nearby street was filled with police, most of them relaxed. When I photographed the protest, he smiled and said: "You can join the protest." "Can I? Won't I be pulled out?" I asked. "Since it is me who let you in, who dares pull you out!" he said. "But I haven't applied for permission," I said. "It is OK. The organizer has applied," he said. A middle-aged policeman also encouraged me to join the parade. "Can I shout 'Punish corruptions'?" I inquired. "No, you can't!" the middle-aged officer said, suddenly seriously. "Only slogans concerned with Diaoyu Islands are allowed," a young policeman chimed in. 我们用手机拍照,一位年纪大约二十七八的警察笑眯眯地动员我:到队伍里面去拍吧,跟着他们走一圈。我问:我能进去吗?不会撵我出来?他继续动员:我让你进的还有谁会撵你?我说:我没有申请啊。不用,带头的人申请就行了
