Deliveryman's boss should exercise restraint

WANG WEI, CEO of the leading Chinese logistics company S.F. Express, has pledged to hold accountable a Beijing taxi driver who recently slapped one of the company's employees when his delivery cart bumped into the taxi. China Youth Daily commented on Wednesday:

The 57-year-old taxi driver should have exercised restraint instead of slapping the deliveryman, who did not fight back but kept apologizing. But it would be equally wrong for anyone to take "revenge" on the taxi driver, who has already been given 10 days in detention by the Beijing police.

In response, S.F. Express has stressed more than once via Sina Weibo, China's Twitter-like social media platform, that the taxi driver should be held accountable and the deliveryman he assaulted is not supposed to accept reconciliation. The CEO of the company Wang Wei also promised to "get to the bottom" of the incident, saying that otherwise he would be "unfit to lead the company" any more.
