So it's not remotely surprising to see it applied to actual Chinese people, whether there's justification or not.
It looks like the individuals were trolling him ("don't share video online that shows us in the picture...") or just trying to pick a fight. Unfortunately, these days you have to assume that someone is taking video or photos in public space and it might mean you end up online without your permission. In very rare cases such a video might go viral which then can draw attention to yourself.
Why would they be trolling him? They're asking for the basic courtesy of not having their faces shown online, it doesn't seem unreasonable to me. It seems like the pianist is the one who wanted to pick a fight: instead of getting the cameraperson to point away from them and explaining the situation politely, he went on a rant on how they're not in "communist" China, and it's a free country. In general, the whole appr…
This is a huge public area with lots of empty space (I looked at the video). When I see people recording themselves in public and I think I might be in the picture, I get out of the frame (or turn my back), rather than go up to them and insist "don't post any video that shows my face".
Yes, he engaged them on principle - I agree with his principles, but he should have just ignored the people antagonizing him.
And they have not heard of the Streissand effect.
So, some asian-looking people asked the guy not to film them and the guy decided to be a loud dick about the whole thing, while almost assaulting one of the women. "CCP members threaten British public piano player", right. I get that some countries still don't have a legal requirement to blur people in the background (or at least when they asked you to), but this is a common courtesy and basic politeness every semi-p…

Its a PRC flag. I don't think "CCP" flag is even a thing. CCP or Chinese isn't a race, so I don't get the "race blindness" bit at all.
> The way they acted when asking not to be filmed was very impolite.
Was it? I see a woman carefully approaching the guy and calmly and quietly asking if they were in the video, trying to communicate that they don't want to be. There is a clear language barrier and the guy mocks her when she tries to approach in different ways.
I'd say the guy is clearly behaving like a dick and is actively looking for conflict.
Ironically the very next video YT suggests on this channel is named "security goons try to ban music and failed", suggesting that the guy really has a certain way about himself.

>they are waving PRC flags, therefore they are 'patriotic'. >but maybe not members of the CCP, as the poster pointed out. I'm not claiming that because they're patriotic that they're CCP members. In fact if you read my comment more carefully I'm claiming the opposite, by pointing out how absurd it is to assume a patriotic American to be a CIA agent. I'm not sure how doing so is "kindness".
Well it's a kindness to ordinary patriotic Chinese people, who don't go around trying to bully people who happen to be filming, like the CPP might.
In this video, something that amaze me and that is quite unique to UK in my opinion is how correct and respectful are the police officers. In most countries, they would have used (and abused) of their authority to yell at the guy. Telling him that he has to shut up whatever they say even if not true. And otherwise it would be police offense. Here, despite the tension they keep their calm, try to stay respectful and n…
Ask any young black person who has chuckled at a police officer who has rolled out the "strong smell of cannabis" excuse on a public street to single them out rather than the pungent, oblivious white stoner walking ahead of them who you can still smell 100 feet away!

> still don't have a legal requirement to blur people in the background What countries require to "blur people in the background"?

CCP flags? That's just China's flag. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/China#/media/File:Flag_of_the_...

Some people just don't want to be filmed in public. My wife is Korean and would probably act the same way (half because in Korea it's illegal). I couldn't care less, but I can think of a few people I know who would have the same reaction (for a multitude of reasons) as this group. What if they're protesting AGAINST the CCP, using Chinese flags to get people's attention then telling them about issues going on with the…
