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.
Michael you’re right. He supposed to help nor to slapped the person.
Nice kick
Force was adequate, as it prevented from further abuse as well as reduced the risk of retaliation
Believe me, many whites also act like this in foreign countries.
This is indeed a black man but he is a black chinese.Not the African black.you can tell from the mannerisms.Just own up to your lack of civility.This is how most chinese behave and I know lots of them.I don’t think a black African can do this in China.Fake news and its so funny
Mampuussss….kawusss
they should kick out from China
Donnie Yen?
Maybe that man is not a beggar. He could be a thief being caught. Maybe that man in the leather jacket is not helping him because he’s a beggar but because he’s the partner of that thief. I don’t know, you also don’t know the real story behind it. And I think is not right just to get conclusion and judgment based on 10 second video.
Again please
Rajiv Cobain, look the black man had 10 seconds and slapped and kicked a beggar that could not defend himself and it took a Kung Fuh artist to shut him up in 1 second ! Karma ! I would say !!!
Well deserve kick
M VV are you feeling racist today
Black asian
Penny Weinstein No honey, just segregationist!
Well bro,u can’t see I guess,the US as a state is doing much more than that,and look at ur words,what the hell is this black,white,brown .who the hell r u to say this,have u created yourself or anyone else has?
watching only one video clip please don’t judge all black people.all black people are not bad and all white people or Chinese people are not good too.every race there is good and bad people.
Love this powerful justice kick.
Nice kick anyway
nice kick ?
black guy will surely be in comma , or suffer a cracked skull, excessive force was applied. He is in big trouble now.
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
U right
Keng Fu my ass, that’s just normal foot to the chest
he needs to be kicked several times in order to align his defevtive mind.
African guy deserves more kicks n punches…why to kick n slap poor man ….
How does race issue come in?
The man slammed his head on the concrete wall. He could have died or paralyzed from brain hemorage.
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
This is nothing to do with race piece of shut.
Nigerians can do like that.they are conman, thief’s,drug pushers you name it.and they can kill anyone for money
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
fake news !! the guy is not an African its instead a black chinese. stop being racist you gain nothing doing this.
Hero man
I would do the same to the African bastard,maybe even worse than what the Chinese man did.
Not necessary and Too much force is used; NO NO not like this…
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
