So, should we spin this thread as the physical vs psychological abuse? This thread was right on about the Chinese people's inability to recognize foreigners as equal human beings and about how tough it may be for FTs working and living in the nation. Now, this thread is drawing parallels rather than arriving to conclusions based on the OP.

I just answered a post saying that in the West us teachers can give our students a clip around the ear if the mood takes, and the little shit's parents would say "Well done, teacher, the little fucker had it coming- here's the price of a pint, teacher!- knock the smelly little rats teeth out next time he gives you any lip!" I suggested to the other poster that events wouldn't pan out like that.
