[quote=KSWONG,330101]At last year's Canton Fair (2007), I saw some locals chase and tried to beat up a European couple in the presence of the police. After asking around, here's the background story. Apparently the European couple were con-men (a man and a woman) who cheated the Chinese by ordering some goods and not paying for it. This time round, the couple was spotted at the Fair again and the police were called in. What I saw was someone who looked like the company boss, appearing on the scene and trying to grab the European guy from police custody and trying to beat him up. The policemen were doing everything they can to calm down the business owner. I remarked to my Chinese friend beside me that since the police are here, the Chinese should let them do their job. My Chinese friend said the businessman had every right to beat up the Europeans. She said: "If you were cheated of lots of money, you would do the same, too." I strongly disagreed with using violence no matter how justified it is but apparently my views differ from the locals. What do you think?[/quote]
