New video footage that appears to show eight employees of a rural bank in China being publicly spanked with a stick has inspired a wave of controversy, leading to the suspension of the bank's chairman and deputy governor. The spankings reportedly took place on Saturday in Changzhi during a training program for employees of the Changzhi Zhangze Rural Commercial Bank, according to NBC News. The footage, which quickly went viral after first making its way across Chinese social media outlets, allegedly shows trainer Jiang Yang hitting four men and four women with some sort of a stick as some of them wince in pain. According to the Guardian, the trainer also shaved the male employees' heads and cut the hair of the women after they "performed poorly" during the company's training weekend. "Why were you ranked the lowest today?" the trainer is heard saying during the video, according to NBC News. Each employee then responds by saying the punishment is "because I have not exceeded myself."
