Since being posted, the short video has been viewed nearly 96,200 times and has generated a wave of reactions from viewers. Many expressed their disbelief, while others pointed to the strict security and surveillance measures in place across Chinese cities.
One Instagram user remarked that in London, “you can’t even walk down the street with your phone out without it being snatched.” Another, who is currently in China, said, “the level of surveillance is no joke,” suggesting this might explain why such a scenario is possible. A surprised viewer commented, “What in the GTA…? Wow,” while another called it “next level security.”

Some users compared the situation to their own countries, with one person from England noting, “You can’t leave not even your sandals unattended here… the struggle is real.” Others attributed the apparent safety to China’s technological monitoring systems, with one comment reading, “Yes, because China is a country with extensive surveillance cameras.”
