A viral video of a man beating his wife in China, and police’s handling of the case, has renewed a debate online in the country over how to punish domestic abusers.

BEIJING, China — Last week, a home security video that showed a man from the northwestern city of Xi’an assaulting his wife during a citywide Covid-19 lockdown spread on Chinese social media.

Over the weekend, Xi’an police said the man, surnamed Wang, would be kept in custody for five days then released without criminal charge. The Xi’an video showed the man repeatedly hitting his partner as a child watches from a few feet away. It was first posted by the woman’s relatives and colleagues, then later picked up by official Chinese media. “Domestic abusers only get punished with five days’ detention, and you wonder why Chinese women don’t want to get married or have babies?,” read one comment on Weibo.

“It’s no use relying on the law for protection against domestic violence when all they do is criticise the victim,” another Weibo commentator said.The incident happened while Xi’an, a megacity with more than 13 million residents, was under lockdown to curb a coronavirus outbreak.
