The police were terrible. This is Britain. Not China.”The group of Chinese nationals, holding Chinese flags, could be seen standing nearby enjoying the performance at the start of the stream, but after they realized they were being filmed they approached to inform him it was “not allowed”.“We’re here for Chinese TV — did you film all of us in your cameras?” one of the women asks.“I don’t know — are we allowed?

We’re not allowed?” Kavanaugh says.“You’re not allowed because we’re for Chinese TV, so this is not disclosable,” she says.“Will we get in trouble with the Chinese government?” Kavanaugh asks. “So according to Chinese law we’re not allowed to film here?”A man with the group then steps in. “So basically, it would be much appreciated when whatever you’re doing that you don’t put our face on TV,” he says.“So what will happen?” Kavanaugh says.“Just don’t do it, please,” the man responds.“We would really appreciate that.

We are very sensitive about this. We’re really sorry, but we love your music. We don’t want our voice, our picture being filmed.
