Laowai should respect Chinese laws

And not get blowjobs in the street.



"If doing this is wrong," the Foreign Expert (L0ve Department) was heard to opine, "I'd rather be on camera."

If it's called "Mile High Club" when you do it in an airplane, is it called "Easy Sleazy Rider" if you do it on a scooter/motorcycle?

Chinese should understand western culture more.

Calach, maybe she is singing that Beetles song to the guy. Maybe she did and they did, and now he won't pay the price, which she thought to be the motor scooter. Her facial expressions certainly indicate that she thinks that the scooter is hers.

She'd need to be exceptionally skillful at the oral arts if she wants to earn a scooter that quickly.

If you Google Image Search that image, you find it's all over the Chinese internet. Sadly, it is in fact no public love-in. While riding a motorcycle, without a license, that dude clipped a nice Chinese woman who, in a patriotic show of good citizenship, but possibly also without a license, seized his motorcycle. The dude (and his father?!?!) were later also discovered, against the conditions of their visas, to be employed. They were fined various amounts, and so were their employers.

But then there was a calm and orderly discussion on the China Daily Forums. I didn't read that thread so I'm just assuming it was calm and orderly. I mean, it's China Daily, right? What could go wrong? But I wondered, what is it that's odd in that sentiment, "Laowai should respect Chinese laws"? There is something odd about it, because--duh!--foreign nationals presumably should respect the laws of countries they enter on visas where they promise to respect the laws. So what's up with emphasizing it? Is disrespect of laws by foreigners sufficiently common in China that this incident is telling and broadly meaningful?

There's some kind of anxiety going on. Or worse. Between you and me, I'm just guessing here, but I suspect Chinese law does not allow the public to seize presumably private property and demand compensation. But that woman's doing it. Does she not respect Chinese laws? Does she have no faith that proper channels will see her properly cared for after an accident?

The nice lady's not the issue here, however. It is that dude. He was breaking several laws in an on-going fashion. He was living the illegal's dream. So, obviously, he's a lesson to us all?

Police said foreigners should abide by Chinese laws while they will protect their legal rights and provide a sound and safe working and living environment.

being in the F&B business in Beijing, i happen to know that guy and his dad.... let's just say they won't be missed around here! The biggest things to retain from this are:

- If you're in the wrong, don't act like a jerk. This could have been so much easier on them if he didn't curse the lady after hitting her while running a red light. 

- this sets a precedent: the police did a heck of a lot more digging than usual on this case and followed up to find the dad. they're not known for being thorough. Once the story exploded, they set out to make an example! you don't wanna be the poster child for this kinda crap.

Another perfectly entertaining speculation about a photo ruined by an untimely intrusion of reality.

- If you're in the wrong, don't act like a jerk.

If you're in the right, don't act like a jerk either.

 Calach, I like the photo (similar to the one you posted initially) on the left side of this article in Related News, under the heading Netizens suspect shakedown as uninjured woman claims expat collided with her. The mind boggles at the comments one could put with that photo.

                                             ...Thy choicest gifts in stoooooo--



Dōngfāng hóooooong--



And the man in the back said everyone attack.

It turned into a ballroom blitz.

This is something we can learn from India. Street altercations should include at least one dance number.

Thanks again Calach! I reckon the guy on the right in the photo is saying something like "Hmph.... these bl**dy Laowai. I can't even get this type of treatment in the privacy of my own house. "  I think that the look on the Laowai's face is priceless. No doubt you guys could come up with some really great captions as could I, but I don't think they'd pass censorship laws.

Looks like he's got his O face on.
