Are you with us Mr. Wu?

I recall a few years back some high ranking Chinese official demaded the removal of protestors en route from Auckland airport to his hotel when his motorcade passed them. Those Chinese factories can duplicate anything at all except democracy.

Helen Klark was tight lipped - she's said too much already this week on the Tim Groser issue to make a total fool of herself, conclusively. It's four months from general elections in New Zealand and she's on the greasy pole.

Four Chinese security officers shouted, "Police, police" as he unfurled the flag and asked for him to be moved, but police there said he had the right to stay.

Man that's too bad guys. If this had happened back in China these security officers could have made careers out of torturing this guy.

This happened in Georgia, and the police arrested the protestors who were Taiwanese, I believe.

Didn't you report on that incident, tallhappy? Did I get it wrong? :)
