The man in a viral domestic abuse video was to be kept in police custody for 5 days and then released without criminal charge.

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.

Under a Chinese domestic violence law passed in 2016, perpetrators can be punished with no more than 20 days of police detention. Tougher punishments can only be meted out if there are serious injuries and criminal intent is proved. "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.

Wang's employer, a state-owned trading company in Xi'an, issued a notice Saturday saying it had fired him for violating Communist Party rules.Domestic violence remains pervasive and under-reported in China, especially in rural communities.
