A Debt Collector Is Killed In China, Triggering Debate Over Right To Self-Defense
"China's law does not really encourage people to defend themselves, because that would be encouraging them to rise up and resist [authority]," a Chinese lawyer noted.
On the afternoon of April 14, 2016, Yu Huan, 22, and his mother were working at their brake disc company in eastern China's Shandong Province, when 11 men arrived and blocked the company's entrance, set up a grill and started drinking alcohol and barbecuing outside. It was the second day in a row that they'd been harassing the family.
Awhile later, the men cornered Yu, his mother and an employee in an office. One of the intruders exposed himself in front of Yu's mother, Su Yinxia, in an attempt to humiliate her in front of her son, an eyewitness newspaper.
