• A woman who tried to share photos and videos of the explosion outside Beijing's US embassy with media was forcibly removed and driven away screaming.
• The woman was wrangled by plainclothes men who said they were dealing with a "family matter," but the woman yelled, "I do not know that man. I didn’t do anything! I was just a bystander!"
• Censorship of controversial thoughts and political incidents is common in China, as the government tries to maintain the stability and power of the Communist Party.
• The woman's videos seemed to be blocked from being sent before her disappearance, and within hours the explosion had been censored online.
