Local media are reporting that police are investigating the case and that the horse has been temporarily detained.

This isn't the first time we've seen horses striding along the busy streets of China's cities. In 2017, Chinese netizens were baffled by the site of nine runaway horses galloping along a highway in Suzhou.
