Huang Liang appeared before the Maseru Magistrate\u2019s court on Tuesday to face an assault charge.<\/p>\n<p>He was remanded out of custody on a M1 000 bail. The victim, Youming Chen, owns a business complex in Roma where Huang and several Basotho are tenants.<\/p>\n<p>Huang is running a restaurant competing with a Mosotho in the same complex. Youming told thepost that Huang called him last Saturday night to come to the complex.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHe told me that my building does not have electricity therefore I should come and check,\u201d Youming said.<\/p>\n<p>He said when he arrived around 1am Huang lured him to go into the shop. \u201cWhen we entered the shop, he pushed me and locked the door. \u201d He said Huang asked him why he was supporting Basotho businesses instead of his fellow Chinese\u2019s.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHe started beating me and said I had nowhere to run to.<\/p>\n<p>\u201d Youming said Huang beat him severely and kicked his private parts. He said Huang then ordered him to pay his business losses as punishment.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHe then took out papers and forced me to sign exempting him from paying rent up to 2023 December,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>He added that Huang said if he did not sign the document he would kill him and bury his body in the mountains. \u201cAt my complex, there is one restaurant owned by a Mosotho and the other owned by the perpetrator,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>He said Huang ordered him to cancel the Mosotho\u2019s lease and close his shop. Youming said Huang also accused him of drinking at a bar owned by the Mosotho businessman instead of his restaurant.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThat is why he is not happy with me,\u201d he said. He said he is traumatised by the ordeal \u201cespecially because I have been in Lesotho for 20 years and I was never beaten by Basotho\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cBut I am beaten by my Chinese brother here in Lesotho.<\/p>\n<p>\u201d Youming said he even reported the attack to the Chinese embassy. Huang refused to talk.
