「“白纸运动”三周年上海当局草木皆兵，男子外滩举旗被逮（2025.11.24）」11月24日，“白纸运动”三周年前夕，上海外滩再度出现令人啼笑皆非的场景。一名计划骑摩托车环游中国的男子，当天抵达上海后，前往外滩和平饭店门前打卡留念。然而，在他从背包中掏出一面随身携带的旗帜准备拍照时，两名便衣警察突然上前，以迅雷不及掩耳的速度将旗帜夺走，男子甚至来不及将旗帜举起。随后经确认，该旗帜上并无任何所谓的“反动”内容。尽管如此，该男子仍被要求配合警察完成调查后才得以脱身。
这种因警察过度紧张而导致的误会在外滩并非首次。今年早些时候的8月22日，一名在外滩卖老冰棍的小贩，竟被当成“炸弹客”抓走。有网友表示，现在的外滩，你根本不知道哪些人才是真正的游客。
三年前的11月下旬，中国多座城市爆发了“白纸运动”，上海是核心地点之一。
“Shanghai on High Alert Ahead of White Paper Movement Anniversary; Man Detained for Raising Flag on the Bund (2025.11.24)”
On November 24, on the eve of the third anniversary of the “White Paper Movement,” an absurd scene once again unfolded on Shanghai’s Bund. A man who planned to travel around China by motorcycle arrived in Shanghai that day and went to the Peace Hotel on the Bund to take a photo. However, just as he pulled a flag from his backpack to take a picture, two plainclothes officers suddenly rushed forward and snatched it at lightning speed — he didn’t even have time to raise it. It was later confirmed that the flag contained no so-called “subversive” content. Nevertheless, the man was still required to cooperate with police for questioning before being allowed to leave.
Such misunderstandings caused by overly nervous police are not new on the Bund. Earlier this year, on August 22, a street vendor selling old-style ice pops on the Bund was even mistaken for a “bomber” and taken away. Some netizens commented that on today’s Bund, you simply don’t know who the real tourists are.
In late November three years ago, the “White Paper Movement” broke out across many Chinese cities, and Shanghai was one of the core locations.
