Sometimes it's just difficult to communicate in an alien culture where people don't have a tradition of respecting elders. Sure, the Chinese tourists came too early, but was it really necessary to evict the elders with illness in the middle of the night with low temperature outside when all they asked was to stay at the hotel lobby until morning? Barbaric culture sticks to rule of laws only because their "superior" morals are incapable of respecting the elders and protecting the sicks that Chinese people have been accustomed to for thousands of years.
Is that the way people in the business (hotel and police) handle their guests (yes, visitors are your guests; your guest next day is your guest half a day earlier than checking in). You can say it is trespassing in a strict sense, but come on, I come to your place as guest, the trespassing is only true when you are not hospitable although it is probably standard of care how people in the business treat people.
To make it simple, the staff and the business and police all should have treated visitors the way who they are - your guests. Police should not be permitted to leave visitors in the middle of night to danger, which is against their duties. Chinese hotel staff and police would have been much more accommodating to visitor needs.
If my flight is early or did not plan well, and arrived early for a little, say 11 AM, should any hotel leave me outside waiting? I understand they came too early. But they came from a different country and parents likely ill (how serious is difficult to tell). You could not say a person that looks OK is definitely OK. A person may be playing sports and die. For whatever reason, it is difficult for the traveler to go anywhere in a strange city, strange country to find another place on foot in the middle of night however you look at it even in the situation when you have a car. Well, let me say it is understandable to refuse them and not providing any help. But police drags them and throw them in the wilderness where they are exposed to all kinds of safety issue, they could be killed or attacked?
