A correspondent for Dutch public broadcaster NOS was removed by Chinese officials while reporting live at the Beijing Olympics, the station said Friday.
Sjoerd den Daas, the Greater China/East Asia correspondent for NOS, was pulled off the air briefly at noon but was "fine and able to finish his story a few minutes later," NOS tweeted Friday.
"Unfortunately, this is increasingly becoming a daily reality for journalists in China," NOS added.
In the video, den Daas is standing outside reporting to the in-studio anchor when a Chinese official grabs him and tries to pull him off camera. The camera then goes dark. A few minutes later, the anchor was able to check back in with den Daas and see how he was.
China has been widely criticized for its human rights violations, such as the reported genocide of Uyghur Muslims and other ethnic minorities, and its censorship of dissenting ideas and media.
House Speaker Nancy Pelosi expressed concern recently that Americans may find themselves in trouble with Chinese authorities for speaking out against the communist regime and implored US Olympic athletes not to "risk" their personal safety with any public political criticism, the Washington Examiner reported.
China and Russia proclaimed a deep strategic alliance on Friday to balance what they portrayed as the malign global influence of the United States as China's President Xi Jinping hosted Russia's Vladimir Putin on the opening day of the Beijing Winter Olympics.
In a joint statement, the two countries affirmed that their new relationship was superior to any political or military alliance of the Cold War era.
"Friendship between the two States has no limits, there are no 'forbidden' areas of cooperation," they declared, announcing plans to work together in a host of areas including space, climate change, artificial intelligence and control of the Internet.
Well this is troubling and not shocking. Who could have predicted that a guy with a 40+ year record of getting it wrong could have driven Russia and China into each others arms? Pretty much anyone with a functioning brain. Which excludes all Joey voters automatically.
Ask yourself why Stretch would feel the need to issue this warning? Is she trying to protect athletes or the CCP? Is she saying the CCP could hold an American athlete hostage for speaking out. Or is she merely providing cover for the CCP so they're not embarrassed during the games.
Yes she called them ruthless, but Pols do this crap all the time with the person or gov't target knowing full well it's necessary to make it believable. Gotta keep the family gravy train rolling from China.
Rep. Mike Gallagher, R-Wis., introduced legislation on Thursday to sanction the International Olympic Committee if China captures any athlete, fan, or journalist in the 2022 Winter Olympics in Beijing, Fox News reported.
The bill, endorsed by Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy, R-Calif., stresses repercussions against the committee if any ''gross violations of internationally recognized human rights'' occur during the Olympic Games, which begin Friday.
''Brave athletes from around the world are planning to boycott tomorrow's opening ceremony in protest of the CCP's ongoing genocide in Xinjiang. But rather than support these athletes' freedom of expression, the IOC has worked to dissuade them from highlighting the CCP's gross violations of human rights,'' Gallagher told the network, referring to the Chinese Communist Party.
''If any athlete or fan at the Olympics pays a price for exercising their internationally recognized rights, the IOC should be deemed complicit in these crimes,'' he added.
I bet the Jews hate when other races try to use genocide. They kind of have a monopoly on it and done great job of milking it
I think the Jews hate it when real genocide is compared to George Floyd taking meth and fentanyl while chi com crud positive and then resisting arrest. Or when missile launch sites are specifically targeted in Gaza by the Jews after warning the sites should be evacuated are compared with random missile launches specifically at civilian targets in Israel. You have some other examples we could talk about?

Zevon was half-Jewish and didn't seem to be downplaying genocide. Don't recall any Jewish defense of genocide in the Sudan.
Roland was a warrior from the Land of the Midnight Sun With a Thompson gun for hire, fighting to be done The deal was made in Denmark on a dark and stormy day So he set out for Biafra to join the bloody fray Through sixty-six and seven they fought the Congo war With their fingers on their triggers, knee-deep in gore For days and nights they battled the Bantu to their knees They killed to earn their living and to help out the Congolese

We also must go to the genocide Olympics, and we have to be respectful.
But Trump was a buffoon!

Bi partisan pussies
Roland was a warrior from the Land of the Midnight Sun
With a Thompson gun for hire, fighting to be done
The deal was made in Denmark on a dark and stormy day
So he set out for Biafra to join the bloody fray
Through sixty-six and seven they fought the Congo war
With their fingers on their triggers, knee-deep in gore
For days and nights they battled the Bantu to their knees
They killed to earn their living and to help out the Congolese
