The case of a Chinese man who faces permanent paralysis after being dragged out of his car and brutally beaten by a mob who were infuriated by the fact he was driving a Japanese-made car has scandalised many Chinese, who are apparently starting to question the patriotic nature of such acts.
The man was reportedly driving through Xi’an in a Toyota Corolla when he had the misfortune to encounter an angry mob of anti-Japanese rioters, who promptly set upon him.
He was dragged out of his car and beaten into a coma, with doctors saying he may suffer permanently paralysis as a result of his injuries.
The riots have also seen their first direct fatality – a 21-year-old student in the same city was reportedly trampled to death by a surging mob.
Chinese media has refused to report on the excesses of the mobs, instead praising their nationalist ardour and calling for restraint.
However, news that the mobs have mostly been brutalising hapless Chinese and destroying “Japanese” property which actually belongs to fellow Chinese has spread online, and even caused the less patriotic to doubt the wisdom of burning and destroying their own cities over a handful of faraway rocks, although few doubt their sacred Chinese status.
THIS HERE IS WHY ILL NEVER GO THERE TO VISIT!
Thanks for this article. I’d also like to convey that it can always be hard if you find yourself in school and starting out to initiate a long history of credit. There are many college students who are only trying to live and have long or good credit history can often be a difficult thing to have. bbgdceedbkdkbdec
Did the Chinese even have their own cars in the first place anyway?
Why didn’t the guy just roll up his windows and roll over the lot at high speed? After-all, killing people on the road with your car is perfectly legal in China, no?
Its the “cultural revolution” all over again. Insane mob rule. Chinese have this in their “blood”
