Chinese restaurant giant Haidilao is facing public outrage after a viral video showed a patron urinating into a simmering hotpot at its Shanghai branch. The shocking footage, filmed on February 24, captured a young man standing on a table and urinating into the broth in a private dining room. Haidilao apologised on social media, admitting staff were unprepared for such an incident. The chain is now offering full refunds and compensation—10 times the bill amount—to over 4,100 affected customers between February 24 and March 8. Shanghai police detained two 17-year-olds, surnamed Tang and Wu, for their involvement. Since China’s criminal responsibility age is 16 for most crimes, the teens were placed under “administrative detention.” ‘Pregnant’ Cars in China?
