A video showing a Chinese man launching a well-aimed kung fu kick at an African man who was apparently abusing a beggar has attracted a mixed reaction from social media viewers, which some Taiwan people suggesting he might have used excessive force.
Widely circulated on social media in China, the video shows the African shouting at a beggar who is sitting helplessly on the ground on a street in Guangzhou, in southern China’s Guangdong province. The man also slaps the beggar on the head and then kicks him.
While most passers-by do nothing to help, a Chinese man suddenly appears and knocks the black man down with a jump kick, then points a finger at him. The video ends with a female voice saying that “he deserved it”, without giving any details of what happened next.
Netizens in China and Taiwan expressed different views about the incident. A lot of mainland Chinese viewers praised the Chinese man as a hero, noting that usually no one comes to help when such incidents happen. Brimming with nationalist pride, one said that “Chinese should stick together to fight against foreign invaders”.
Many Taiwanese netizens agreed that using a kung fu kick was an effective way to stop the man from bullying the beggar, but thought the “rescuer” could face charges of using excessive violence if he did this in other countries. They also said the well-trained kung fu man was actually bullying the African man, who could be a migrant worker.
As of mid-2017, about 15,000 African people were working legally in Guangzhou, having arrived for the annual Canton Fair trade show in the past few decades. However, Chinese media have said that there may also be more than 200,000 illegal immigrants from Africa; many are illiterate and have to work as coolies or undertake illegal activities.
Why don’t you say black Chinese instead of african? If African stop coming to Asia many Asians people will die okay. It’s only an african can travel with full bag of dollars to asia ok you can ask people who get company in Asia okay and stop the nonsense on African
Not necessary and Too much force is used; NO NO not like this…
I would do the same to the African bastard,maybe even worse than what the Chinese man did.
Hero man
fake news !! the guy is not an African its instead a black chinese. stop being racist you gain nothing doing this.
you are right bro , this is a black chinese not an African. Africans don’t misbehave like this . just a chinese can behave like this
Nigerians can do like that.they are conman, thief’s,drug pushers you name it.and they can kill anyone for money
This is nothing to do with race piece of shut.
Its but instinct for the chinese guy to help his own kind.and its not normal for the black guy to abuse a person especially he is just a foreigner
The man slammed his head on the concrete wall. He could have died or paralyzed from brain hemorage.
How does race issue come in?
African guy deserves more kicks n punches…why to kick n slap poor man ….
he needs to be kicked several times in order to align his defevtive mind.
Keng Fu my ass, that’s just normal foot to the chest
U right
Hate to spoil your fun…….This man isnt Black African…….A Black African wouldn’t have the balls to do this in China……From your own African American thug here
black guy will surely be in comma , or suffer a cracked skull, excessive force was applied. He is in big trouble now.
