Hopefully nothing will happen to the guys that attacked him after, its not like they did him any serious damage, just a few cuts and bruises. I know it sounds harsh, but if someone attacked and sexually assaulted a woman in front of me, I would probably try and cause physical harm to him as well. But probably with a swift kick right in his balls. Hopefully the memory would quell any future attempted rape incidents.

On this site, where a high level of English is used, the site is read, frequented and aimed at a lao wai audience. As such, I am "feeding the image" mainly to fellow lao wai. As such, it has the potential to illustrate to other lao wai, who view this site as a reference before coming to China, that this behaviour is definitely not OK. It has already been in the news in China and done the rounds on QQ. I did not post this to my Chinese friends QQ pages or promote it on any Chinese website.

You are right using your phrase. The guy obviously sh@ where we/he ate. I am trying to stop other lao wai doing the same by reinforcing to all lao wai that this behaviour is not acceptable. I hope this is clear.

Well, OK rick, but it seems you are in denial of a few things. Firstly, many Chinese have prejudice against us white foreigners. They call us "lao wai" as a group and put us all into one box. Whether you like it or not, it exists. A big reason why this exists is prior exploitation of Chinese by westerners. I am not taking responsibility for this guy or this prejudice, but I do want it to change.

Secondly, many white foreigners (I'm looking at Gaoxing here!) believe that coming to China to chase tail is absolutely fine. A small minority also believe that forcing yourself on a Chinese woman is also OK. In my mind, it is not OK for foreigners to come and try and exploit Chinese people in any way. And I would like to advertise to other foreigners who think the behaviour is OK, that it clearly is not. Well, I hope if any read this they will learn that the behaviour is highly unacceptable here, just as it is in the west.

This incredibly individualistic notion that "You are in no way responsible for the actions or prejudices of others" that you purport to is complete BS. We all influence our own culture by our actions and interactions with each other. We therefore bear a portion of responsibility of how our cultural identity and in turn how we are viewed by other cultures. As an example, I tell my friends when they visit to take their shoes off when entering Asian homes and teach them to say "nin hao" to older people in China. This has a generally positive effect. Or alternately I could start a hate group against Asians in my country and spend all my income distributing racist hate leaflets. In both ways I influence my cultural fellows actions and the perception of them in the eyes of Asian people. To deny there is a cultural gap between China and western cultures is silly. Also to deny cultures form opinions of others according to their own values is silly. It happens, so we must think carefully about our inter-cultural interactions.

I am against rape in all forms. But when it is perpetrated against a Chinese person by a white foreigner it has the additional effect of reinforcing prejudices often taught to Chinese people by their elders. I want to make it clear that other white foreigners know this is NOT OK. Standing up against bad behaviour is a responsibility for all of us. Remember that not standing up against wrongs of the world is tacit agreement. Standing up against wrongs informs others that said action is not OK. If we simply let this slip under the radar without saying "This guy does not represent all of us!" we help to reinforce the prejudice through what appears to be tacit agreement in the eyes of the prejudiced.

Chingis, please. A woman is thrust into a bush on the road struggling while screaming "I don't know him!" and a drunk buy is between her legs. She sobs hysterically when released. I don't know where you come from, if you think this isn't attempted rape, I don't know what sort of evidence you require to make a judgement. No means No where I come from weather you are drunk or not. The guy is clearly doing more than restraining the woman and his size shows how much stronger he is than her.

Check out this pretty terrible video footage (viewer discretion advised) of a drunk and stupid laowai who tried to rape a girl in the middle of the road in Beijing. Her screaming "I don't know him!" before he is approached by other Chinese. Thank god for her the people didn't do their normal ignoring trick of anything that's not their problem...

Later on in the clip someone that probably knows the girl attacks him when he is coma'd on the ground. Just desserts I say...

Already people in China are scared of us enough (my girlfriends family is still worried a little I will try and sell her...) without this sort of behaviour. Hope he is locked up and the key thrown away.

In addition to 123go's description of ATM fees in China, I would like to add they are a total rort by the banks. Its ridiculous for example that you have to pay a fee for being in a different city! Do the banks have entirely different systems for each city? No, they are nationally integrated. Do the banks have to deal with some type of exchange between cities? No, the money coming out of the machine is RMB in both cases and their systems are nationally integrated.

Mind you the same can be said for many things here I guess, for example the ridiculous extra fees charged by China Mobile when you use a SIM from a different area. Same thing - their system is nationally integrated!

In both cases does it cost extra to send a few pulses of electricity to headquarters (probably in Beijing) from Kunming as opposed to Guangzhou? No. So why does it cost me extra? Because banks and telecoms companies here are ripping off the public. These companies are making ridiculous profits for example ICBC made a 61.4 billion RMB profit on an operating income of 120 billion in the first 3 months of this year!! Thats a 50% profit margin!! Amazing! As the big banks in China are mostly state owned, there is no real competition and therefore this will probably remain the status quo.

Wow, that was almost a BillDan rant! Re reading it almost bought a tear to my eye...
