(桑万 Scott SAVITT "在1983年到2000年期间一直生活在中国。六四发生的时候，他是国际合众社的驻京记者。 * * * 这位因为在中国创办了第一份独立报纸而被当局关押了30天的记者说，最令他感到悲哀的是，中国的新闻记者不被允许告诉中国人民正在发生的事情，而必须由外国记者来做这件事")

Note:
(a) "因为在中国创办了第一份独立报纸而被当局关押了30天." This does not sound right.

("After graduating from Duke in 1985, I returned to China where I had studied abroad and lived and worked as a journalist there for the next 18 years. I covered the events in Tiananmen Square in 1989 and did not return to the US until I was finally put in jail for 30 days for my unwelcome reporting and then was expelled")

At the time Mr Savitt was "a visiting scholar at Duke" University. Ching-Ching Ni, The Angel and the Demon. Sun Herald (Biloxi, Mississippi), May 11, 2008.

(b) In the words of Savitt's collaborator.
