Immediately the unspoken comes to mind, Are these shoplifters blacks who end up fitting their stereotype?

The Chinese are not PC about blacks as "journalists" in the western world are. The same problem has happened in Japan. m/r

Three UCLA Players Remain in China Amid Theft Probe

Rest of college’s basketball team returns to U.S. after trip that was to be a sign of Sino-U.S. goodwill

SHANGHAI—UCLA’s basketball team left China on Saturday night without three players who are being investigated for shoplifting in the eastern Chinese city of Hangzhou, indicating their legal troubles continue at the end of a dramatic week.
Hangzhou police said they questioned the players—LiAngelo Ball, Cody Riley and Jalen Hill—at a station house on Tuesday about suspected shoplifting but that day released them without charges to their hotel while the investigation continues. The young men have remained at the hotel since then, rarely venturing out of the luxury room they share, according to people with knowledge of the situation.

Often in a Chinese criminal investigation, someone being questioned is asked by police to remain in the city where the probe is being conducted.
The players have declined to answer questions, including on Saturday when approached by a Wall Street Journal reporter.
