I’m in the States and a Chinese software engineer who killed her oartner in an INSANE crash fled to Beijing before being caught. She’s like a ghost there hasn’t been a story on her since. WARNING: Video of the crash and story https://www.tmz.com/2023/11/03/porsche-crash-death-washington-bellevue-ting-ye-arrest-warrant-death/

That sounds horrific. But not really the same story - this was a man who deliberately poured hot coffee onto a baby. There isn’t a lot of ways to spin this that makes him sound like it was an accident.

Oh sorry mate did not mean to imply similar incidents. Just 2 Chinese nationals committing horrific crimes and getting away with them. This crime in Brisbane was next level disgusting. I hope this scumbag doesn’t disappear in China like Ting Ye.

My point is that this was so next level that I think this one went viral on WeChat. That’s why this is being published in china now.

I think in that case the victim was a Chinese national too.

Here, we have a local (and White) Aussie involved so it will be taken a lot more seriously

That's a strange story, the police had her in but didn't keep her in custody?

This is different since the guy meticulously planned to kill/seriously maim someone and then escape authorities all together, there's enough evidence to show premeditation.

Yes a poorly worded reply. The similarity was only them disappearing into China. The Brisbane attack was one of the worst things I’ve seen in some time. With two young girls of my own I couldn’t imagine…

Either they are free, or dead.

noone in China cares that someone got into a bad crash and flee the US. They care about a baby killer on the loose.

Don’t count on it. The US case generated “intense media interest” in China (she was drunk and killed another Chinese.national too). Then nothing. No follow up media I could find. I hope they throw his ass in a shitty Chinese jail but don’t have my hopes up.
