China officials order cleaners to sift through tonnes of rubbish for lost watch, spark outrage

A local government in China has been panned by internet users for making two cleaners spend four hours in the scorching heat searching for a small watch lost by a tourist.

In early July, a woman from Shenzhen, southern China, took her child to Datong in the northern province of Shanxi by train.

She accidentally put her child’s smartwatch in a rubbish bag near their seat, then left the train, Red Star News reported.

The gadget has a positioning function which showed it was still in the railway station.

The next day, the mother, surnamed Lu, followed the advice of a friend to call the hotline of the Datong municipal government, asking if they could retrieve the watch from the station.
