Strong-arm tactics

    暴力手段

    深圳机场附近有“黑车”司机使用暴力手段欺诈乘客，请看本报周五引述《深圳晚报》的报道：

    The area outside of Shenzhen International Airport is plagued by private car drivers acting as illegal taxis and reportedly employing strong-arm tactics to get money, an investigative report by the Shenzhen Evening News said Thursday.

    The problem is made worse because official taxis will sometimes turn passengers away if the distance they want to travel isn’t far enough.

    A netizen claimed on a microblog he was asked many times by private car drivers if he wanted a ride after arriving at the airport around 10 p.m. June 13.

    报道中的strong-arm tactics就是“暴力手段、强硬手段”。例如：

    The army's strong-arm tactics angered and radicalized the local population.

    军队施用暴力手段惹怒了当地人，让他们变得激进。
