Tangshan, China: A viral video where a group of men could be seen beating up four women outside a restaurant had triggered criticisms in recent times, forcing authorities to remove the honorary “civilized” status given to the Chinese city of Tangshan where the incident took place.
The episode had once again triggered the national discussion about misogyny and violence against women.
