I have also seen the 'beat up a thief' approach just 2 weeks ago in Hankou, Hainan. Instant 'justice' might seem a good idea but it can be excessive or the person may actually be innocent. China has a police and court system which it is improving all the time.... this is surely the better approach.

It seems so many people are saying how much crime there is in China and how foreigners must be careful. First, I feel VERY much safer in China. Secondly the biggest criminals drive cars and live in big homes. Crimes of fraud and crimes against employees are the BIG issue. Hey, maybe China needs a workers' revolution! (OK, that's a bit tongue in cheek but really only another way of saying what the government has already said about corruption and the divide between rich and poor.)

They work in pairs at least, usually as a group of several young men/women.

I agree with Apault.

Vigilantism, taking the law into your own hands, is a pretty dangerous idea.

They say that in the midst of chaos, there is order. This is the order of the day until the situation improves & improve it will with time.

There are 1.3 bln people in China + many more visitors. Surely the situation is not so bad that everyone experiences such an incident !! You are 1 of the many lucky ones. I was one of the few unfortunate. So China is still fine, relatively speaking. Hahaha !!
