CHINA Owner of a Chinese manufacturing factory uses physical violence as a form of punishment for his employees. He dragged one worker into his office and brutally beat him with a telescopic baton. The exact motive is unknown.
Although beating employees is illegal in China, such videos appear relatively frequently. Factory owners often employ villagers from distant areas, providing both work and housing, with entire families financially dependent on their wages. This creates a sense of power over workers, who usually dare not complain.
In 2016, a video surfaced online showing a Chinese bank manager publicly beating an employee with a wooden rod for poor performance during training. In 2024, another video showed workers forced to crawl on their knees as punishment for failing in team tasks. In 2018, factory employees were made to drink their own urine and consume insects.
