Chinese man beats wife and forces her into car boot while bystanders do nothing

The distressing footage, which hasn’t been verified, begins with the man slapping the woman reported to be the man’s wife and pushing her down into the boot, reportsThe Sun.

The man stands around briefly and then returns to the driver’s seat.

Weibo media released the video on June 9 on its social media channel.

The video has since been shared hundreds of times on Chinese social media and has attracted a disgusted response f-rom Weibo users.

One wrote: “My heart feels heavy, it seems like all people can do when faced with these sort of incidents is just to film it.”

However, another user stunningly placed some of the blame on the woman.

They wrote: “Under these circumstances, the woman should’ve called for help and should’ve pointed out a specific person to call the police.

“Just resisting without saying a single word is not helpful.”

Earlier this year, China launched its first law against domestic violence, but one in four married women still experience abuse at home.
