Examples

“This is what happened when an unnamed Chinese man got into an argument with a woman over a parking place⟳ in the Meilan District of Haikou City, Hainan, China. She parked her scooter and attacked the man when he began shouting at her to move⟳.”

“On Thursday, the woman, surnamed Chen, was convicted of posing a threat to public safety after she slapped the driver, Fu Chuanming, on the face⟳ during a dispute in December at Haikou, Hainan island, the website of the People’s Daily reported. Meilan District People’s Court passed judgment in the 29-year old,^([sic – meaning year-old]) but it was unclear if she would appeal, the report⟳ said.”

“On paper, this has resulted in an unprecedented level of Party-state penetration, particularly in rural areas. Thus, Shaanxi's Yangchuan, with a population of only 170,100, constructed a whopping 387 Civilized Practice Centers, one for every 440 people (Yan'an Ribao 2019). Oddly, the difference between heavily populated and less populated areas is negligible: Shandong's Pingdu boasted the third-lowest number⟳ of people served per Center (765) (Qingdao Wenmingwang 2020), whereas Hainan's Meilan District, with half the population, succeeded in penetrating far less successfully, with each center serving a median of 11,635 (Haikouwang 2019).”
