HONG KONG ? �A Hong Kong reporter has briefly thrown Chinese President Hu Jintao's tightly scripted visit to the semiautonomous city off course by asking about the 1989 military crackdown on protesters in Tiananmen Square.
The reporter for the Apple Daily newspaper was detained Saturday for about 15 minutes by several security officers, who told him he was noisy and had broken rules.
Hu was touring a new cruise ship terminal when the reporter asked loudly from behind a security cordon whether he was aware of Hong Kong residents' concerns about the 1989 crackdown, in which hundreds, possibly more, were killed.
Hu didn't respond. The encounter was shown on local television.
The incident underscores the widening tensions between Hong Kong and its mainland rulers 15 years after the end of British colonial rule.
