In Shanghai a few years ago, there was a foreigner who got jumped by 3 guys with knives, Unknown to the attackers however, this guy was very skilled at martial arts and ended up kicking all of their asses and escaped with minor injuries.

He was then responsible for the hospital bills of the people he beat up.

Hope that answers your question.

Got a link to that story anywhere, Tibbles? I'd like to read it.

this country thinks of every conceivable way to take money from a foreigner. can you call this country safe if you are supposed to let criminals have their way with you??????????????

I looked for a bit to find a link, but I couldn't find one unfortunately. Not really surprising...

I can't personally verify the story (as I was not a witness) but I have heard it from many different people. There were some posts about it on another forum shortly after the event, but those have since vanished.

Anyone else remember/have info on this?

Honestly, it could just be a rumor, but it sounds like something that would happen here, so I'm more than convinced it's true.

If you're white, hell any color if you're not Chinese, no matter how things went down... You're going to be paying for something no matter what.
