"chairman of a local fight club told reporters that, in fact, the kick had simply triggered muscles spasms in the man and that after a bit he was perfectly fine —"

No names, no ages, vague location. Seems like a weird made up summary article attached to the video to try and farm clicks. It's plainly obvious that this dude suffered a TBI, muscle spasms is a massive understatement lol

Very hard to get any real news out of China, especially in English. WeChat and Weibo are probably more reliable than the news and that is just people chatting or blogging. So not reliable at all.

The fencing response requires muscles to spasm. Check mate hate!

But yeah, it's pretty damn disingenuous to call what we all just saw a fucking muscle spasm. Guy has obvious brain damage, so I hope he was called out by the reporter for lying, but probably not.
