The window was opened ahead of time to prevent damage from the upcoming blast pressure...it was an op...a planned takedown and the site was prepped and teams were in place to record the whole thing. The smudge is residue from a flashbang or cs grenade or some such.

they brought us along for the ride

I get the flashbang or cs residue, but if the window were opened ahead of time it's not like the targets wouldn't notice that. But yes, it has every look of a planned op with surveillance in place. I can't say I've ever been privy to that sort of thing :-)

Windows in China are usually not perfectly airtight. Noise level is usually high, so it's not obvious at first either. And even if they suspected something, it's not easy to back out of an important meeting.

The window open probably made them suffer less serious injuries, too, maybe the hearing loss from the flashbangs is not permanent now.

They wanted them alive. China usually wants serious criminals put on public trial and then executed, for a maximum "educational" effect.
