Found this quite interesting -a psy op perhaps -
Popular pianist Brendan Kavanagh shared a livestream video to his two million YouTube followers on Friday while performing on a public piano at the central London station.


The group of tourists, who were holding flags of the People's Republic of China, stood at the back of the video when Kavanagh started playing.

They quickly confronted the pianist and asked him if their faces were visible in the footage, before demanding Kavanagh stop filming.

The confrontation sparked outrage online and has now led to the piano in question being sealed off and protected by station staff.



 
re - the confrontative person in the video - some reports say that he has been identified as Li Zhenju is not only a member of the Overseas Exchange Association of the Communist Party of China, the chief legal adviser of the Chinese Embassy in London, the legal adviser of the Overseas Chinese Affairs Office, but also the secretary of the British Parliamentary Cross-Party China Group. plan”, and was praised by Downing Street for it. Its law firm Christine Lee & Co Solicitors has offices in London, Birmingham and Beijing. In addition, she often appears in the British Parliament. From pictures released by many British media, Li Zhenju appeared with former British Prime Minister Cameron, Theresa May, former Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn and Xi Jinping

 
The common sense option here would be for the Chinese tourists to move out of the way and then they wouldn't have been filmed. I wonder if that occurred to them... or perhaps there was more to this encounter than meets the eye. I thought Brendan Kavanagh handled it with good humour... nice bit of piano playing too :-)
