The moment BBC China reporter is pushed away from filming at car attack scene | BBC News



At least 35 people have been killed in a car attack in southern China, believed to be the deadliest known act of public violence in the country in decades.

Police say a man crashed his car into a stadium in Zhuhai on Monday where he ran down groups of people exercising on a sports track. At least 45 people โ€“ among them elderly people and children โ€“ were reportedly injured.

While reporting about the attack, BBC China correspondent Stephen McDonell was angrily ordered to stop filming.

It is not clear who the man who tried to stop the reporting was, though when sensitive stories like this unfold in China, local Communist Party officials organise groups of cadres to pretend to be outraged locals who have been given the role of targeting foreign reporters so as to prevent any coverage.

  1. This video is manipulated to look like what the BBC is saying. Other videos show the real thing happening in a different manner. That's why westerners are mistrusted by China. Loads of BS reporting.

  2.

    Well, that's a serious accusation without any factual basis. And it appears only the BBC is "harassed" by Chinese authorities. Total lack of context anti-China propaganda

  3. More lies from the BBC. The presenter states that Mcdonnel tried to report from the scene but local people appear to have been organized to stop him. Wow so we have a horrific incident – the BBC shows up and in partial darkness starts reporting when one local man objects to this. If the police wanted to stop the BBC from reporting they would without any problem. Clearly what we have here is a local man who looks upset and thinks that this kind of reporting is insensitive. Mcdonnel did not know who he was or if any of his relatives were killed and instead carries on to incite the man and create a story on the back of a tragedy. When asked who he was by Mcdonnel he replied I am a Chinese national. BBC shows no respect for the Chinese culture or their government which does not allow any media to sensationalise tragedies like these.

  7. This is despicable. An ambulance chasing reporter trying to access a disaster scene and disrespecting the shocked locals. Imagine him behaving like this in the UK. The BBC should be ashamed of employing this gutter scraping excuse for a journalist.

  9. For those that have Chinese friends, ask them to translate it for you more accurately to understand what is happening. In some cultures you don't just go film the scene of her accident, maybe blood on the floor. Everything the male journalist said was said by the journalists in studio. The male one is repeating the same thing, stretching it long enough to get a reaction , make suppositions that the people asking him to stop are plain clothes police. What plain clothes police decide to call the police? If the journalist thinks these a plain clothes officers, why would he say that he is going to call the police on them?

  10. What a horribly disrespectful journalist, harassing grieving relatives to sell his nonsense narrative. He's no better than Johnny Somali! I expect better from the BBC. How about a journalist who can speak Mandarin?!?

  11. What you do is take the hand and bend it in reverse, as you do so, pull the arm away and turn and press downward. What you are doing is locking their hand is an angle that the wrist can't bend and you force the person down because if they don't, you can' apply enough pressure on the wrist to seriously damage it.

    Then the hand is not a very capable weapon once the wrist is severely sprained or broken. Then you reduce the person to one armed assailant, but often they just grab their injured joint with their free hand.

    If he is still standing, this makes them completely open to any sort of trip or kick to the lower leg that can also damage a joint, the knee for instance kicked from the side is NOT protected and can be damaged very badly with just moderate pressure.

    So, once the wrist and knee are compromised, then continue to film the story.

  12. According to the everyone's understanding, no media should be able to report these news if the freedom of media is non existence. Any BBC news reporter should not exist in China. And yet, this news got first handedly reported by Stephen McDonell as he rushed to the scene๐Ÿฅด
