Amid the increase in hate crimes against Asians after the new coronavirus infection (Corona 19) pandemic (a pandemic), a Chinese media hit in the UK in broad daylight occurred, Hong Kong media reported.
According to the Hong Kong South China Morning Post (SCMP) on the 3rd, Peng Wang, 37, a lecturer at Southampton University in the UK, was attacked by four white men while jogging near his home on the 23rd of last month.
Wang saw four white men aged 20 to 25 in a car driving past him and screamed, “The Chinese virus, get out of this country.”
When the king responded by yelling at them for no reason, they screamed at them and explained the situation at the time that they turned around and beat the king.
The king had a nosebleed and bruised face and arm.
Passers-by passers-by called an ambulance and reported it to the police, and one of the four suspected 21-year-olds was arrested, but was released during the investigation.
Wang, who has been living in Southampton since 2014, told SCMP, “When I first came to England, I didn’t have to worry about jogging at night, but the situation is getting very bad.” I am in a state.”
SCMP said that under such circumstances, the Hong Kong National Security Law (Hong Kong Security Law), etc., disrupted relations between China and the UK, and many Chinese residents in the UK are concerned that they will become targets of hate crimes.
The newspaper added that crimes against East Asians in the UK have soared over the past year, with 457 reports of racist crimes against Chinese people in January and June of last year.
