This came after a series of bullying incidents in the country were recorded and circulated on social media websites. In a statement, Sawy’s office said that the two suspects beat the child and filmed him aiming to post the video on social media. They began filming the man, and pushing the driver to kick the Chinese man out of the car. Numerous Egyptians shared the video, expressing their empathy with the Chinese man, lamenting the reactions of the people in the video and apologizing to the Chinese people. Wang wrote on Facebook that the Chinese ambassador told the man the incident is not representative of the Egyptian people.
