Chinese Police Detain Man Over T-Shirt
BEIJING - Police in eastern China briefly detained a foreign man after local residents complained they were offended by his T-shirt listing staring, overcharging and other common gripes of foreigners in China, a newspaper reported Friday.
Police were called following an altercation between the man and diners in a restaurant in the eastern city of Nanjing, the Beijing Today weekly reported. The man, whose name and nationality weren't given, was taken to a precinct station and allowed to leave after about an hour after promising not to wear the shirt again, it said.
The paper said the back of the man's T-shirt was printed in Chinese with a list entitled "Ten Warnings for Chinese," that included "don't stare at foreigners," and "charge foreigners the same prices as Chinese," the paper said. It said the man told police he bought the t-shirt from a vendor in China.
