"We can understand her anger but that does not justify her violent behavior," the employee said, adding that the woman who was slapped suffered ringing in her ear and "mental anguish. "We're not sure if we'll be able to get a genuine apology
 through reporting this incident but this could happen to other employees in the service industry," the store said in a statement.
"In a hope to prevent any future recurrences, by someone who abuses one's power, we're providing this footage."
According to the Belgian Embassy, Xiang was hospitalized following the incident, but has since been discharged.
The use of diplomatic immunity has been controversial in other countries in the past.
