A Chinese shop owner and his wife in Italy are being lionized on the Chinese internet for what they did to a pair of guys who tried to rob their supermarket.

Surveillance camera footage shows the two robbers in hoods and masks trying to get the shopkeeper to open up the cash register drawer inside his supermarket in Milan’s Chinatown. Instead, the shopkeeper takes a quick step to the back room and returns shooting pepper spray into their eyes.

One robber quickly runs away, but the other is not so lucky. The shopkeeper throws him over the counter and then literally begins to beat his ass. Soon, his wife arrives to kick the unfortunate robber in the face and butt.

The video has gone viral on Chinese social media with netizens applauding the couple for teaching the robbers not to mess with Chinese shopkeepers.

Over the past year, that same lesson has been taught to robbers around the world. Last September, a Chinese shopkeeper in Georgia foiled a robbery attempt by three armed intruders by shooting them with her own gun. A few months later, a Chinese noodle shop owner in Australia scared off a would-be robber by chasing him with a pair of cleavers, shouting: “You have one knife. I have two!”
