In a video clip which went viral on China’s social network sites, a man is seen berating a Chinese soldier who had given a woman civilian a ride in a vehicle bearing a Guangzhou military plate.

The man, going by the name “Uncle Ou”, is a retired Guangzhou resident famous for his campaign to disclose abuses of official cars.

“Why do you use military car to drive your wife?,” Uncle Ou is heard to ask bluntly in the video. “Please answer me.”

“Is this how you abuse tax payers’ money?” Ou said.

The soldier said nothing and quickly walked away.

Par for the course in Guangzhou. GZ military district is probably one of the most corrupt in China. Amazing they were even driving Chinese manufactured cars! Usually GZMD cars are Audi, BMW, Benz SUVs or sedans! These guys were probably drivers for lower ranking cadre.
