Witnesses expose Xi ‘an foreigners beating China men： toasting, refusing, pestering and punching.
The picture comes from the Internet.
On April 24th, Weibo, a man in Lanzhou was beaten by a foreigner for toasting, fermented online. The Weibo said that at about 23: 00 on the 23rd, three men from China toasted foreigners at Changyanbao Night Market in Xi ‘an, which led to a conflict, and foreigners left after beating China men who toasted.
Ma Cheng, a staff member of the restaurant, told The Paper (www.thepaper.cn) that the tables of the two sides were adjacent, and there were 5 men and 3 women at the foreigner’s table; Three China men drank more than 20 bottles of beer and went to propose a toast. Since then, there has been a conflict between the two sides. "Maybe foreigners don’t want to be disturbed."
According to China Business Daily, one of the three China men is from Lanzhou and the other two are from Xi ‘an. Lanzhou men said that there were few foreigners in Lanzhou, so they bet that they wanted to take a photo of drinking with foreigners and take it back to Lanzhou to show off.
The Paper was engaged in the discovery of the scene and saw that there was no obvious trauma on the beaten man. "Hua Shang Bao" reported that the man who was beaten (Lanzhou) asked the reporter to touch his head, and there was a big lump on it.
On the afternoon of 24th, He Min ‘an, a policeman from Changyanbao police station, told The Paper that he didn’t receive an alarm on the evening of 23rd and didn’t know about it. The person in charge of the political work section of Yanta Public Security Bureau said that he would investigate and understand the specific situation.
However, as of The Paper’s press release, Ma Cheng said that no police had gone to the incident hotel to investigate the incident of foreign men beating China men.
Xiao Lijun, a lawyer of Hubei Duoneng Law Firm, said that the behavior of foreigners beating others in the street has violated the Regulations on Administrative Penalties for Public Security. Even if the police did not receive an alarm, they should intervene in the investigation if they were determined to have violated the law after learning the news.
The following is the story of Ma Cheng (restaurant staff), the witness of the whole incident:
The two sides are drinking at the entrance of the hotel, and the two tables are adjacent. The foreigner’s table is 5 men and 3 women, dressed in casual clothes, and they all look less than 30 years old. Chinese here are three men, all middle-aged.
Both tables ordered barbecue and beer. Three China men drank more than 20 bottles of beer, while only three foreigners drank three bottles of beer.
At 10 o’clock in the evening (23rd), five foreign men got up and left somehow. Subsequently, one of the three China men went to the foreigner’s wine table to propose a toast, and after a foreign woman drank the wine, the toasted China man returned to his seat.
About 20 minutes later, another China man (from Lanzhou) at the table went to the foreigner’s wine table to propose a toast, while his two companions took pictures with cameras. At this time, the foreign woman who looks like an Asian shook her head and said English mixed with raw Chinese (didn’t catch what she said) without drinking. The China man who toasted then returned to his seat (I don’t know if he said anything).
Then, the foreign woman who refused to drink came to the China man’s wine table (sat down) and didn’t hear what he said clearly. Maybe she asked to delete the photo (video). After a few words, the foreign woman suddenly stood up and said, "Are you drunk?"
After that, the foreign woman ran to the side to make a phone call, and a few minutes later, the five foreign men who had left earlier returned to the hotel. One of the foreign men walked up to the Lanzhou man who made a toast and said "Hello". The two sides then said something to each other (didn’t catch the specific content). Suddenly, hearing a loud roar from China (Lanzhou) National People’s Congress, the foreign man picked up a beer bottle and smashed it on his head.
Chinese, who was beaten, also grabbed a wine bottle to fight back, but he didn’t hit anyone. Four foreign men followed him rushed over. One man pressed the first toast from China (Xi ‘an) to the ground, and several others surrounded the China (Lanzhou) men for beating. Meanwhile, another China (Xi ‘an) man at the wine table ran away with a phone (later he said he would call the police).
I quickly came to Indiana. At that time, there were two or three tables of guests beside me, and three or four of them also came to Indiana. At that time, I heard someone shouting "foreigners hit people." The two China men who were beaten were about 1.73 meters. The first foreign man to hit someone was about 1.8 meters, and the other four people were also more than 1.7 meters. Both sides were too strong to pull away.
The two China men who were beaten had no obvious trauma. But the man who was besieged said that he had a pimple (lump) on his head.
Since the quarrel, the two sides have been entangled for more than ten minutes. Later, the foreigner left, and the three China men involved sat at the scene for more than an hour before leaving.
The hotel didn’t call the police. At the time of the incident, no police arrived. Afterwards, no police came to investigate.
