China Hotel Assault Sparks Anger and Debate

Chinese police have arrested a man in connection with a high-profile video that appears to show a woman being assaulted in a Beijing hotel.

The 24-year-old male suspect surnamed Li was caught in Henan province on Thursday night, Beijing police said on their Sina Weibo microblog.

The video, taken from the hotel’s CCTV footage, was viewed widely online in recent days and sparked public anger.

The hotel’s parent company has apologised over the incident.
