At least fifteen foreign journalists - including a dozen Japanese - Chinese and an assistant, who went on the Piazza del Popolo, the designated meeting place in Shanghai, were detained several hours by police, Sunday, March 6, in a house is not identified as a police station.
Correspondent of the newspaper Le Parisien said he was forced to sign the minutes of interrogation. "Some Western media like to focus on this type of news at the moment. Such a cycle of information could seriously impede China in the future," warned Monday, March 7 the quasi-official newspaper Global Times in an editorial.
Friday LeQuotidien Beijing mouthpiece of the Party office in the capital, thought that the Arab revolution "has already created a major disaster for the peoples of these countries." These calls to express his discontent in the discretion appear shortly followed. Chinese journalists were forbidden to speak.
The previous weekend, the police had strongly pushed the foreign reporters who worked on the central square of Shanghai as well as the shopping street of Wangfujing in Beijing. A Bloomberg journalist was beaten to the ground by five plainclothes police officers in uniform in front of liabilities, according to the economic news agency.
The European Union delegation to China and the United States Embassy denounced such restrictions on freedom of the press.

An admonition to "take very seriously," police said in the world in Shanghai, Tuesday, March 1, so as not to "cause traffic jams." In fact, two of the most visited sites in the country are now "off limits" for foreign journalists, as well as eastern Tibet Autonomous Region since the uprising of March 2008.
