A food delivery rider in Tongliao, Inner Mongolia retreated upon encountering a woman holding a cleaver who instructed him to ‘go ahead’. He later learned she was chopping pork ribs.

Social Context

Delivery platforms require riders to undergo situational awareness training for high-risk deliveries, per MIIT’s 2022 Rider Protection Guidelines. Public education campaigns promote visible signage (e.g., ‘Home Cooking’) to reduce misidentification of household tools as threats.

Safety Tip

Riders should verify delivery details via platform chat before approaching doors; if uncertain, request photo confirmation of safe entry or contact customer service for real-time support.
