Shenzhen is the first city in Mainland China to implement the Good Samaritan law according to a report in the South China Morning Post. The law states that people who offer assistance to others are protected from being sued by victims unless the victims can show that his or her rescuer caused major damage.

It has not been said when this law will be implemented in Beijing.
