In mainland China the usual punishment for assault is paying for the victims hospital bills, no jail time, no other fines, just the victims hospital bills. At one point drivers of hit and runs would just kill the victim to avoid paying their hospital bills. But in this case the attacker had a socially supported reason for the assault, and if he had a witness attest to the victim deserving it, he probably received no punishment whatsoever.
