Chinese teens fined $300,000 for urinating in soup
Two teenagers who peed into a pot of broth at a hotpot restaurant have been ordered to pay 2.2 million yuan ($309,000; £227,000) to two catering companies in China.
The incident, which happened in February at a Shanghai branch of China's biggest hotpot chain Haidilao, sparked widespread criticism after the 17-year-olds posted a video of their drunken act online.
There is no suggestion that anyone consumed the contaminated broth but Haidilao had offered to pay thousands of diners who dined at the restaurant in the days following the incident.
In March, Haidilao sought more than 23m yuan in losses, saying this took into account the amount it compensated customers over the incident.
​
Last Friday, a Shanghai court found that the teenagers had infringed upon the companies' property rights as well as reputation through "acts of insult", noting that their actions contaminated tableware and "caused strong discomfort among the public".
It also found that the teens' parents had "failed to fulfil their duty of guardianship" and ordered that they bear the compensation, state media reported.
This includes 2 million yuan for operational and reputational damage, 130,000 yuan to one of the caterers for tableware losses and cleaning expenses, and 70,000 yuan in legal costs.
However the court ruled that any additional compensation Haidilao offered to its customers, beyond what they were billed, was a "voluntary business decision", and therefore should not be borned by the teenagers.
Haidilao had offered to compensate more than 4,000 diners who visited the branch between 24 February - the date of their visit - and 8 March, both with a full refund and a cash compensation that is 10 times the amount they were billed.
They also replaced all hotpot equipment and said they had conducted cleaning and disinfection works.
Haidilao has expanded quickly since it opened its first restaurant in Jianyang in Sichuan province. It now operates more than 1,000 restaurants across the world.
The company is known for its customer service and family-friendly atmosphere, where ladies can receive manicures and kids are treated to candy floss while waiting for a table.

Trump says U.S. has struck another alleged drug boat from Venezuela
U.S. President Donald Trump said on Monday that the U.S. military has carried out another strike against a Venezuelan drug cartel vessel that had been on its way to the United States, the second such strike in recent weeks.
​
He said three men were killed in the strike and no U.S. personnel were injured, adding that it occurred in international waters.
Trump said in a post on Truth Social that the target had been "positively identified [as] extraordinarily violent drug trafficking cartels and narcoterrorists," adding that the cartels threaten U.S. national security, foreign policy and other interests.
​
The post included a nearly 30-second video, with marking "unclassified" on the top, which appeared to show a vessel on the water exploding and then on fire.
​
Trump provided no evidence for his assertion that the boat was carrying drugs — though he told reporters that U.S. authorities had obtained evidence.
​
"We have proof, all you have to do is look at the cargo that was ... spattered all over the ocean," Trump said in the Oval Office Monday afternoon, when asked about the steps authorities took to obtain proof of their allegations.
"Big bags of cocaine and fentanyl all over the place."
​
The U.S. president also said "we have recorded proof and evidence," including knowledge of "what they had."
Venezuela's Communications Ministry did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
