Foreign spiderman avoids arrest

(Reported by Beijing News)

In an attempt to avoid arrest, a foreign man jumped from the top floor of a 17-storey building to the 14^th floor in Beijing’s Xuante Gardens on June 6. He was wanted for unlawful entry into China.  A resident reported the man to police after seeing him in the corridor of the 17^th floor. Following the arrival of the police at about 4pm, the man climbed outside and jumped to the 14^th floor.   By 11pm, the man had yet to give himself in.

I am looking forward to more articles on this topic, esp. crimes committed by foreigners. I think China seldom reports on crimes involving foreigners. So sometimes when I learn that a foreigner has committed a crime, I feel that the Chinese law system is impartial and somewhat integrated and that Chinese police is doing their job now, regulating the more and more international country well.

How could someone be that desperate to stay in China, unless they came from somewhere really poor, or faced criminal charges on return home. Was he from North Korea, I hear they get executed on return.

Actually Beijing has a major problem with African drug dealers. He most probably unlawfully entered into China because he was engaged in some type of criminal activity.
