Classic Chinese.Scam: Porcelain Bumping

hey everybody before we start today's video I just want to say that in this video we're going to be showing lots of footage that YouTube is going to deem to be unfriendly to advertisers which means the video won't be monetized we still want to do this topic because it's such an important one as it looks into a part of society which um Chinese people are using a bizarre hilarious but also sad way to scam other Chinese people and uh if you want to support the channel consider checking out the donation Link in the description as well as in the pin comment below this video to support us so that

out more content uh in the near future so check out the link in the description and let's get into it [Music] this group of people argued in public their next move fall on the ground whoever gets up first will lose the victim status first and this is not not the scene of an accident this is a classic Chinese scam called porcelain bumping it's called punu in Chinese or faint [Music] [Music] fragility as it describes ponu is the attempt to scam some out of insurance money or just in general a sum of cash so that of course they don't have to go to uh court for an injury or some sort of level of pain that's been sustained against the other person foree fore fore but you might think oh everybody does that around the world not just in China right well wait till you see the videos I'm showing you today you might be thinking wow this is really terrible have you ever seen this faking an [Music] injury and it just gets so ridiculous and this is not even a regular person doing it this is a traffic cop attempting to scam somebody they're looking to tiet the driver but it's not just them every age gender and occupation can do this now these kind of situations are widespread in China you'll find this with the older generation a lot because they think it's a quick way to make money unfortunately though it does make their put they're putting their lives on the line to try to make 50 to 60 bucks uh in US Dollars of course and convert it to uh Yen you know 3400 Yen which is a decent chunk of change for somebody who may not be making a lot of [Music] money let me idea [Music] this unfortunately created the total extreme to the opposite side you'll often find this phenomenon that in if somebody falls down or somebody needs help rarely do you see people try to go and help them one of the reasons the main contributing factor is they might be found liable for whatever injury that's been caused to them so maybe this person really did get injured but the person who caused the injury fled the scene and if you go try to help they're going to blame it on you right this mentality has created the situation where particularly when older people fall down um you see the people just walk by without helping because they're afraid it's not like this in Japan and other Asian countries and you rarely find this type of thing in the west either now one of the other factor is that until a few years ago China didn't really have a Good Samaritan law and even after they put something like that up you still have to go through the trouble of fighting it out in court and sometimes with the corruption in the Chinese courts it's really hard for you to potentially win if the other side has some you know special connections up there [Music] hey it's a surpris [Music] [Applause] fire drama queens and drama Kings honestly some of them should be acting in movies and TV dramas instead of on the streets and in this video this this man is a dog sled owner he was passing by a park when a tourist from suan was injured and so he was being nice and kind he took her to the hospital even paid up the the expenses for the hospital thinking that maybe you know she would pay him her uh pay him back and she just fled the hospital even though the injury was not actually caused by this man and he was essentially scammed out of 37,000 Yen uh but that's just how China is sometimes now this kind of situation so common in China sometimes it goes outside of China this happened in Flushing New York Chinatown in the United States and the people just take this Behavior with them wherever they go this also happened in Flushing go go see let's go and this is a DH taking it to the streets of Sweden [Music] like imagining if fake soccer injuries was a real thing in social situations in China another aspect to this is that when people fight you'll see that either one side immediately falls down from somebody you know giving it a gentle tap on their shoulder or a gentle tap on their arm because they're trying to fake an injury so that they they can be like the victim uh maybe they were at fault at first and he also situations where both side of the party will try to fall down and they won't get up until you know the cops come and they can play the victim and observer's perspective it looks absolutely ridiculous when they do this but from their perspective it's how they're supposed to fight and win this argument [Music] [Music] there's also situations where you getting scammed by a group so you have one person who falls down and suddenly you have three other people who show up with their phone film you with incriminating evidence so that there's no way for you to fight out of this except to pay them the amount that they ask for in other cases it's the government employees doing [Music] this now you think these people would have some level of professionalism and self-respect but uh no clearly not all right thanks so much for watching this video on China's classic scam of porcelain bumping and what people do when they have an argument stay tuned for part two where we have more videos coming like this
