Chinese actress Jin Chen was recently exposed for allegedly being involved in a hit-and-run incident last year, with claims that she got her assistant to take the blame and attempted to defraud insurance, among other controversies. Recently, the media have once again exposed the follow-up outcome of the incident, with the police confirming Jin Chen's involvement in a hit-and-run, but asserting that it does not constitute a criminal offense. She was only fined 1,500 RMB (approx. 853 MYR) according to the law.
According to the Chinese media outlet 'New Yellow River,' the handling result of Jin Chen's hit-and-run case can be found on the Zhejiang Government Service Network. It confirms that Jin Chen "fled the scene after causing a traffic accident resulting in minor injury to a person or property damage, but it does not constitute a criminal offense." In accordance with traffic safety law, a 1,500 RMB administrative penalty was imposed on Jin Chen.
After the news broke, many people left mocking comments below, questioning loopholes in the law: "It's good to be a celebrity," "Looks like her backing isn't ordinary," "Painless and itchy, she'll dare do it again next time," and "Just punish everyone the same in similar cases from now on."
