Sky News had a piece on yesterday about people who were in Beijing from outlying areas to protest various grievances (corrupt officials etc.). Within minutes of the camera crew arriving there to film, the police were on scene, demanded the journalists' credentials, and took detailed notes about their reporting. Then the police started to drive away with the documents still in hand.
There are "official protest zones" but they're empty because everyone has already been rounded up.
I also saw a report on a whole group of people who were kicked out of their homes so that the government could build a new shopping area for the Olympics.
