Q: Can you go to the police for an order of protection from another person in China?
Good or bad idea? Background info: Tier II City both sides were violent but only one side sustained property damage. the other side retained few physical injuries. Would the police involve all parties if only one person went to the police. Does it work like home, as in, the first person to go to the police will receive protection from authorities and accept their story? Or is it different, in that it might backfire when involving authorities in a civil dispute or private affair. Finally, what is a person to do to gain protection from someone while living here? Thanks for any 'civil-minded' responses!

When in doubt the police lock the foreigner up.
After all foreigners always are the cause of trouble in a harmonious China

It will all depend on how much you pay them. If your hongbao is bigger than the one from the other guy, you'll be ok. If not, you're screwed! (NB: hongbaos are non-refundable!)
You may think this is a non-"civil minded" response, but unfortunately, this is the truth... The police in this country are lazy and often very ignorant of the law. And they certainly do not want to have to deal with a foreigner.
(there are exceptions to the above, but they are rare...)
