Viral Incident: Chinese Man in Islamabad's F-10 Mall

The Original X Post

) on December 29, 2025, the tweet questions why Chinese nationals are allegedly given free rein to commit crimes in Pakistan. It accuses a "Chinese criminal" of openly offering cigarettes to burqa-clad Muslim women in public at F-10 Markaz, Islamabad.

The post includes derogatory language toward Chinese people and contrasts how such behavior would be treated in China. It garnered significant engagement, with over 1,400 likes, 700 reposts, and 129,000 views within a day.

Description of the VideoThe attached video, originally from TikTok, shows a nighttime scene in a bustling street market. A man of East Asian appearance approaches a group of women wearing black burqas and niqabs.

He extends a red cup toward them, appearing to offer its contents—visually resembling food like French fries, as he later uses a spoon to eat from it and visits a nearby fries stall. The women gesture in refusal and walk away, while the man turns, eats casually, and moves on.


Despite the post's claim of offering cigarettes or intoxicants, the footage depicts no visible tobacco products; instead, it aligns with reports of the man performing light-hearted pranks for TikTok content. This discrepancy suggests possible misinterpretation or exaggeration in the original description.

Public ReactionsResponses on X ranged from outrage to calls for cultural respect. Many users condemned the act as disrespectful to local norms, with some demanding the man be "leashed" or arrested for insensitivity. Others highlighted double standards, noting that similar behavior by locals might be overlooked, or accused Chinese nationals of broader issues like human trafficking.

A few defended it as a harmless prank or cultural misunderstanding, urging education for foreigners via booklets at airports. Xenophobic comments emerged, including references to Chinese dietary habits or political ties, while some linked it to online scamming or favoritism toward Chinese due to economic projects like CPEC.

Broader ImplicationsThe incident highlights tensions around cultural clashes in Pakistan, where a large Chinese expatriate community works on infrastructure projects. It raises questions about foreigner accountability, respect for religious sensitivities (e.g., approaching veiled women), and the spread of misinformation on social media. Similar events, like past pranks or trafficking cases involving Chinese nationals, underscore the need for better cross-cultural awareness to maintain harmony amid growing bilateral ties.
