Surveillance footage shows several men severely beating a woman, her two friends and a female bystander at a restaurant in Tangshan after the woman refused to let one of the men touch her
The brutal beating of four women at a restaurant in northern China sparked widespread outrage over the weekend, leading to the swift arrest of nine people and calls for severe punishments.
Late last week, three women were dining at a hotpot restaurant in Tangshan, a city in eastern Hebei province, near Beijing. Surveillance footage shows a man, identified by police as Chen Jizhi, approaching one of the women and leaning in to touch her. When she brushes his hand away, he hits her in the face and pulls her to the floor.
Discussion of the attack has dominated Chinese media in recent days, with many demanding tough punishments for the men involved. In a commentary published Saturday, the official All-China Women’s Federation said “there can only, and must only, be zero tolerance for such vicious cases of serious violations of women’s rights and interests.”
Ms. Gao said she felt this showed a “kind of contempt for women. They keep telling you that you are weak, so please don’t wear a tight dress because you can’t fight the man who hits on you.” “There are concerns about violence against women,” she said, but the government does not want to respond “in a way that would encourage feminist mobilization.”most recent Global Gender Gap report
