On April 12, a Chinese man living in Laos spoke out:
Lao police ride China-donated motorcycles every day, specifically targeting Chinese people for fines and they hit them especially hard.
“Imagine this: You’re abroad, pulled over by a police bike clearly marked ‘China Aid,’ and they slap you with arbitrary fines. How would you feel?”
Another netizen who just returned from Laos added: “They don’t care if your paperwork is perfect. They just want their ‘beer money.’ If you don’t pay, it gets messy.”
Chinese aid vehicles now used to squeeze Chinese nationals overseas… The irony is bitter.
