If only the Chinese Officer were subtitled, I am much more interested in what he's saying. Obviously I know what the host and reporter are saying.

Edit: not finding more on Dutch sites, aside from the confirmation he was allowed to continue somewhere else.

I saw people on reddit saying that he was being told he couldn't stand there for filming and being pulled away from that particular area. A mixture of a bit overly aggressive guiding from the security man and a language barrier not helping.

Not to say IOC or China are free from scrutiny but I think we oughtn't conflate the more tame stuff with actual problems.

Yea, I think he was filming on a sidewalk or an area he wasn't supposed to...but the Media is blowing it out of proportion

Foreign media perhaps, Dutch media is not. As far as I can tell, the NOS site has it as a funny upload, nothing else even remotely reported on it.

BULLSHIT! The Chinese are the absolute worst when it comes to human rights. I have no doubt that this is exactly as it was shown. The Chinese were trying to censor but couldn't get away with it because it was on live tv and thus they realized if they tried anything the rest of the world would jump down their throat. Why the fuck would you be a Chinese government apologist?

Pretty sure it was just a preview for the opening ceremony. The NOS is the most neutral news broadcaster on Dutch tv, that is not the news channel to do an expos on the Chinese human rights situation outside the opening the ceremony.

That's not really relevant, if anybody spoke bad at any point in their personal careers, they're at risk of getting snatched.
