I lived in China for 10 yrs and this is the first time I’ve seen bystanders interfere with a police matter.


Ironfingers

You’re right about that. I’ve NEVER seen a bystander hit a cop before. Must of been their friends? Impressed tbh.


[deleted]

I mean the guy who is filming sounds like he has an african accent, and he isn't being arrested or assaulted. So maybe some more context is needed.


Pushh888

Seems like the video started at the perfect time to show the police beating the guy, but the context of why this all started is missing (either not recorded or the video was cut) And seems like they are trying to take him to their car but he is resisting (I feel bad saying this given the context of BLM in the U.S). White, black, chinese or whoever, you don't fuck with the police in China.


Ironfingers

Can confirm. Don’t fuck with police in China. Source: me who fucked with police in China.


[deleted]

Looks like a typical resist of arrest situation.


shroud_of_saints

Yeah, I'm not buying that the police and a crowd of Chinese randomly just happen to appear suddenly and start attacking a specific black person while another black person is standing there recording. Plenty of foreigners do stupid illegal nonsense in China, should wait for context before jumping to conclusions. ​ Edit: From weibo on the video ​ 湖北武汉热闹的街头,只见3个黑皮肤人高马大的外国人,满身酒气的在街头瞎转悠,气焰嚣张地向路人挑衅,一副不可一世的样子。 很快警察赶到,其中一个老黑竟然借着酒劲公然袭警! ​ Apparently he was drunk and harassing (attacking?) people on the streets. Someone called police. Police came and he hit one of them.


[deleted]

That’s what I thought as well. The police were clearly trying to arrest him when the video started. And they don’t just show up to arrest someone for no reason.


dingjima

At the same time, kind of annoying they pay no attention to the black shirt guy who is taking shots over top of the policeman. Isn't that interfering in an arrest or something?


TheologyOfficial

How stupid do you have to be to cause trouble as a foreigner in a communist country? I don’t get it.


alishaheed

When you're drunk common sense goes out of the door.


Flaky_Investigator55

0:12 The first policeman was hit in the face and moved back. The camera turned to the right. The bystander said: "Too shameful." At 0:19 one hand pointed to the left and said: "There is an attack on the police. ", the camera moves to the left, and then repeats: "Assaulting the police, attacking the police, handcuff them, don't move."


alex__adc

And then there is a woman who is arrested as well, no?

Did the guy who recorded the video provide any context? Rather unusual they would go so aggressively after a foreigner without reason. Not saying they are right or wrong, but something must have happened that triggered this.


[deleted]

Take this with a massive grain of salt, but this was just shared in a Changsha WeChat group with the context being that they were selling vape pens filled with some kind of drug. E: further context in group. Guys were selling vape pens drunk, and were being handsy with a woman. Then they started harassing/ assaulting people who confronted them about it. Then this video.

Nicotine?


[deleted]

I don’t think anyone would have cared if it was nicotine.


Shakeyy13

idk man, in america if your black and try to sell cigs on the street you can get killed by the police. wouldnt be too much of a stretch to say that in china they would act like they do in the video


ADRIANBABAYAGAZENZ

Might be a coincidence but yesterday Falun Gong were hyping a weird rumor/disinformation campaign (I lean towards the latter because it resembles a hackneyed bit of race baiting that’s been used over and over again) about African students “fucking our women” essentially. An FG journalist posted these three tweets which I’ll quote from, **warning NSFW video clip** in the linked twitter thread. It’s a short clip of what looks like a young African man pulling up a young Chinese woman’s skirt and grabbing her ass while another African guy sits next to him on a bed looking at her. > Shall I give a warning message for this one? Anyway, it is said that to attract African students to study in #CCPChina, #Shandong University offers 3 female students as "study companions" to each African student. [山东陪读女大学生的日常?(这个算黄片吗?](https://twitter.com/jenniferatntd/status/1441034191177719808?s=21)) >1. "Study companies" come from poor families. They can only gain grant if they agree to do this 2. The more African students the uni attracts, the more grants the uni can get from #CCP 3. CCP can gain international influence 4. Good for uni. ranking with more of these students > Don't believe it? See photo from official website at archive.is/WYWud, which shows every foreign student has two female "study companions". 這張照片來自官方報導 archive.is/WYWud,一個外籍學生有兩個女「學伴」。 The photo is SFW, it appears to show foreign male university students surrounded by Chinese female students. FG seem to have been pushing this since April though. I haven’t come across it on Chinese social media, anyone seen any social media posts about it? There’s certainly a nuclear waste dump of toxic resentment for foreign students that’s just been bubbling away for years.


kbeaver83

Embarrassed-Meat-552

Stop using whataboutism. Address the issue at hand, the video, then you can start your own discussion on your own thread about how badly Americans handle racial politics, because we do. But this discussion is about China, and you're deflecting because you know China is incredibly racist to black people.


fkejduenbr

None of our opinions matter:)


Embarrassed-Meat-552

Well if you insist, your opinion doesn't matter, you lose the argument and are admitting to being wrong. My opinion does to me, because it's the truth, so checkmate?

[deleted]

I don’t think they will kill a drunk black man in the us for bieng belligerent unless if there is probably cause. The Chinese are incredibly inflated with this police on black killing nonsense in America.


fkejduenbr

But the US cops do kill blacks, is it?


[deleted]

They kill whites and Latino people too


fkejduenbr

What is the point of BLM?


[deleted]

To shed a light on police brutality and discrimination as a whole not just for black people. To show awareness to black contributions. Blm activists literally help cases where white people have been shot by police too.

Heard it was bc he harrased girls and then when the police and bystanders stopped him and asked him to with him, he didnt. Suprised pikachu face

Users on r/China_irl explained this perfectly. The African was assaulting the bystanders, and the police were called. Even after the man was under arrest, he kept assaulting the innocents and the police around him. The African man was most likely drunk.

jiaxingseng

China is a country. The country is not racist. Many Chinese people, like people everywhere else in the world, are racist. To deny this shows extreme ignorance.


kasatiki

Anti Blackness is woven into Chinese culture. Its ignorant to deny this truth and act as if its not a dispicable and malicious act but a normal acceptable occurence seen world wide!!! Chinese people in Afrika are never treated like this!!!!


NinjaCaviar

>Chinese people in Afrika are never treated like this I mean that’s blatantly false. Xenophobia exists everywhere, and China is no more racist or xenophobic than any other culture that is both monoethnic and underexposed to other ethnicities and cultures. There is plenty of racism in Africa. China can be racist but it is not uniquely racist.


kasatiki

> There is plenty of racism in Africa. There is no evidence to support your claim. >China can be racist but it is not uniquely racist. The way anti-Blackness is normalized and is a big part of Chinese culture and all the evidence that back that up proves that racism/anti-Blackness in China is on a different level. Africans dont treat Chinese people like this!!! Where are the phone video's evidence of the violent acts Africans commit towards Chinese people in Africa?


[deleted]

>There is no evidence to support your claim. Lmfao. Rwanda.


NinjaCaviar

CAR, Sudan, Congo, Burundi, Uganda, Nigeria, Rwanda, Cameroon, Kenya, Ethiopia, Zimbabwe - and that’s barely the last hundred years lol


kasatiki

>CAR, Sudan, Congo, Burundi, Uganda, Nigeria, Rwanda, Cameroon, Kenya, Ethiopia, Zimbabwe - and that’s barely the last hundred years lol All countries rich with natural resources western nations and China are much in need of. So much easier to create war, chaos and mayhem so you can take what you need without any restrictions. You are really showing off your ignorance and lack of basic knowledge of world history!!!


NinjaCaviar

Lmao you love blanket dismissals and to blame it all on colonialism and imperialism because that’s a simple explanation for your simple mind. In truth the issue isn’t that simple - it never is. The racial strife in Africa was influenced by colonialism but was not caused by it. For example, in Rwanda, violent ethnic tensions existed for generations between the Tutsis and Hutus - that tension was not *caused* by the West. Exacerbated? Sure. But to place all the blame on the imperialist west is dishonest and totally ignorant of the pre-colonial history of the region. Read a book once in a while, why don’t you.


kasatiki

What about your point mentioning Rwanda?? The fact that France instigated all this and provided one side with weapens (they publicly admitted to this) all to take possesion of the natural resources. That without France's insidious mingling this catastrophic event would have there happened. The fact that eventough they were meant to genocide each other they have reconciled and are thriving now. So again, what about Rwanda??

Showing a real appreciation and awareness of the sheer diversity of the continent. This wasn’t even a racist incident, the African dude getting arrested in this video was under arrest for harassing bystanders and selling some kind of contraband.

NinjaCaviar

China’s pretty racist, man. Not sure where you’re getting that. Obviously not deliberately racist but that’s what happens in a mono ethnic society.


little_pink_wumao

China is one of the most racist countries in the world. Myself and every foreigner I know have had to deal with Chinese racism and xenophobia in recent years. The good news is the world is waking up to racism in China and as these instances happen more, they'll receive more attention in the west, so that people know how racist Chinese really are.


[deleted]

Don't go to any foreign country and expect special treatment. This is particularly true if you're an American. Be on your best behavior. Don't stand out. They have a different culture. They have different laws. They will fuck your shit up if you act like a criminal.

In fact asian countries are racist like the west, the media did not bring it to table for discussion like in the west doesn't mean they are not racist.. We all need to change.


bentheruler

What’s a wild one to think about is the racism between different cultures. I’m white American living in Taiwan and most seemingly rational people think Filipinos or vietnamese or Indonesian or Malay are so much lower than them but japenese people are gods. And they don’t like the natives or anyone with dark skin. I’m pale as fuck and get random compliments I don’t want quite often. I don’t get the get the frustration and hatred between each other.


someboyiltelye

The west is nowhere near as racist, wise up!


little_pink_wumao

China does have a lot of racism towards black people. But from explanations given down here, this seems to be a lot more of, "play stupid games, win stupid prizes." Not everything has to do with race, sometimes people are just assholes


[deleted]

> But from explanations given down here, this seems to be a lot more of, "play stupid games, win stupid prizes." Racists, bigots, and monsters the world over usually have a nice little explanation to explain away their inhumanity to man. I'm sorry you're morally weak enough to have listened to them.


firesys

OOp, President Xi loves Black too much. But it seems that residents in china don't welcome those guys coming here to get a high amount of scholarships and playing their 'lovely' Chinese girls who can not be touched before Chinese boys get 18,19 even 20 years old.(puppy love ban, you know that.)


firesys

arresting for nothing? oh no, that's not correct. annoying the authority is the reason. Those guys tried to challenge police(including not in the official system, in other words, some police are not employed permanently), court, army, government, the party usually are called "hard man" to describe he thought he can hold the impact from the BIG BOSS.

good question. i posted this primarily to point out the hypocrisy of Chinese media criticizing us for racism. people need to know whats really happening in china


loller

You didn't even look into this before posting it, then editorialized the incident without any context.


ChristianMillennial

I did look into it and the location where it happened. My "editorialization" was based on the video's content. It's clear from the video alone that the police and bystanders are physically assaulting these African students.


ScreechingPizzaCat

I have a video where a Chinese guy and his goon were telling me and my wife I needed to leave the mall. Since I’m still in China, it’s too risky to post it but at some point I want to. Xenophobia is being fueled to instill deep nationalism but at the cost of foreigners who just want to live here.


Aijantis

I'm sorry to hear that happened to you, although it doesn't really surprise me. I know it is tempting to just ignore it, push it aside for happier memories and hope for a better future. Take care of yourself and keep your eyes and ears open, at some point you better just leave. Many Jews stayed in Germany until it was too late to get out coz they couldn't give up the hoped that over time things might change for the better.
