An unnamed Chinese tourist visiting Germany ended up touring the country's refugee system for weeks after his wallet was stolen at the airport, according to reports in the German media. “He was different from the others — very, very helpless,” Schluetermann told the DPA. To make matters worse, the Chinese citizen's passport and visa were confiscated by authorities, who instead gave him refugee documentation. Instead, he complied with what he was told and ended up spending a week in the refugee camp with little protest. Eventually, the 31-year-old's well-dressed appearance caught the attention of employees of the German Red Cross, who run the Duelmen refugee home.
