British man beaten by 10 Chinese in Cambodia for having 'Taiwan' tattooed on his forehead
TAIPEI (Taiwan News) -- A British man was savagely beaten by nearly a dozen Chinese men in a small city in Cambodia when they discovered he had "Taiwan" tattooed on his forehead and he refused to recognize their claim that the country is part of China.
While on vacation in Cambodia, a British ex-pat who has lived in Taiwan for 14 years and goes by the name "Paul," at around 11 p.m. on Saturday evening (May 27) took a seat at a bar in Sihanoukville Square in the coastal Cambodian city of Sihanoukville. When ordered a drink and took off his hat, a large group of Chinese men, who he believed to be overseas workers, sitting nearby noticed that the traditional Chinese characters for "Taiwan" (臺灣) were tattooed on his forehead.
One of the Chinese men then shouted in Mandarin "Taiwan, China! In response, Paul retorted "Taiwan, Taiwan!"Paul then says that they then "went insane grabbed poles and started attacking me."
He says that at least 10 Chinese men savagely beat him, demanding that he say that Taiwan is part of China, as hundreds of bystanders watched. Refusing to refer to Taiwan as part of China, but fearing for his life, Paul said in Mandarin, "Ok, you think Taiwan is China I'll say Taiwan is China, I just want to leave."
After the bludgeoning was over, Paul says that he suffered a gash to his head, many bruises to his body, a fat lip, two lost teeth, and two badly dented teeth. He says that due to the damage to his teeth, he can longer close his mouth properly.

Who could have guessed? Tattooing a controversial message on your forehead could lead to trouble...
Poor fella.

I don't know what to make of all this. He looks more like someone who was forced to get a tattoo on his forehead than your average meth-addled idiot who got it done voluntarily. Note the lack of any other visible tattoos. This is monkey business for sure.

It's hard to judge his appearance as anyone in that state would look like a deranged meth-head. But then again, who gets anything tattooed on their forehead, let alone that?Lucky Lucan wrote:I don't know what to make of all this.

Will this story get him mad street cred in Taipei? Like, drink for free for the next year?

Taiwan never has been and never will be part of China.
Provoking the chinese in this way is just asking for a beating. If you walked around in TAIWAN, with PRC on your forehead you would be lynched as well.

Why taking a jab at the British dude? It was a completely unprovoked attack. Its his body and it didnt seem he meant to show intentionally.
The mainland Chinese are notorious bullying the Taiwanese overseas, not just Cambodia. The mainland Chinese are overly nationalistic, and the chief concern given their powerful presence in Cambodia read connected with the Khmer government, what can foreigners do if they were to get beat up like the British dude with no provocation.

Based on this bloke's history, I'm sure that at 11 PM at a bar in SHV, where he responded by yelling "Taiwan, Taiwan", he wasn't the least provocative guy in history.the chicken wrote:Why taking a jab at the British dude?

Yeah of course he didn’t mean to show it intentionally. Your forehead is absolutely a private part of your body and no one has any right to look at it.the chicken wrote:Why taking a jab at the British dude? It was a completely unprovoked attack.

Not sure why all the hatred for this guy. Personally, I take my hat off to a man with a tattoo like that.
