A former veteran journalist in China has been detained on criminal charges for negatively commenting on a state-backed Korean War movie, which the Chinese regime says is an anti-U.S. and patriotic production.
Reporter Luo Changping was placed under criminal detention in Hainan Province on Oct. 8 over allegations of “insulting heroes” in his comments on the movie, titled Chosin Reservoir, reported state media. The provincial police released the news on China’s Twitter-like microblog Weibo, though the comments did not mention his full name. Police charged him with “harming heroes and martyrs’ reputation and honors.”
