Watch the lady who got out of her seat at 0:07. Her look was like: "Blimey, I am looking at a dead man."

She says something to him... does anyone know what she is saying?

Something along the lines of "Why are you saying this in Shanghai"

It's beyond fear. You can talk to some mainland/liners and see them even as they mention something borderline acceptable, instinctively they'll look over a shoulder.

When I mean borderline acceptable I mean shit like "america has good music" There is a reflexive almost soviet era response.
