5 Things Foreigners DISLIKE About Chinese People 🙅‍♂️❌

[@akiyamayusuke]

100% agreed. There are definitely aspects of our conduct Chinese people can improve upon. Thank you for pointing them out in a constructive and unbiased manner.

[@bulllissh]

Spitting is actually very common in our baseball games. It’s just as bad if not worse since the players spit openly in front of their fans.

[@thetruepatriot7733]

Sporting events are an exception...

[@mr.anonymous123]

Agreed sporting events are an exception

[@SF19925]

I’m a Chinese and all of the things you’ve mentioned bother me too. Especially burping and spitting. Spitting is not socially accepted in China and in some regions people are fined for spitting in public. Another pet peeve of mine is people who eat with their mouth open and smack their lips while eating.

[@kiddo817]

Don’t worry, you didn’t offend anyone. Every behaviour you brought up, even most Chinese people find them répulsive. That’s why the government has been pushing a mass “civilized behaviour” campaign for years now (since the 90s), with mixed results. I think a lot of it has to do with Chinese society lacking a “collective wellbeing” mindset (社会共同体）, the idea that my personal behaviour and welfare is intrinsically linked to that of others around me. Since the 80s, mass Chinese mentality has been the opposite: how to gain the maximum for “me” (and my family) without much consideration for others at large. This basically resulted in a general lack of regard for the public commons, where you often see spitting, loud shouting, blasting wechat on speaker mode in metros, and other uncivilized behaviours. Just my take as a Chinese person.

[@skazka3789]

It's actually the opposite. Chinese mentality focuses on the collective: the family, the nation. Whereas Western perspective is no holds barred individualism, with little regard for society at large.

[@andyliu7922]

we just dont care about the trivials, you know, social conduct.

[@信仰-d2b]

别担心，你没有冒犯任何人。你提到的每一种行为，甚至大多数中国人都觉得它们令人反感。这就是为什么政府多年来（自90年代以来）一直在推动大规模的“文明行为”运动，结果喜忧参半。

[@Monitor2023]

Let me list these five points : 1. people blocking the way 2. smoking in toilet 3. burping 4. spitting 5. loud people

[@theultimatesuperhero7604]

6. (Should have been first), chinese pick their noses (and some pick their anuses through their clothes) in public and some eat their boogers (chinese adults do sometimes) in public. Recently saw a chinese pick his nose and rub his hair after….chinese hair gel.

[@theultimatesuperhero7604]

7. diapers aren’t so common among chinese and chinese toddlers wear pants that have open crotches so their parents can hold them up in the air in public to poop on side of sidewalk or side of road. Honestly chinese and china are more similar to india in some bad ways than most people maybe wrongly believe

[@zackye5431]

I enjoyed your Videos, especially its Shanghai from foregoing's perspective. I grew up in Shanghai and left when I was 17 . I too dislike the fact of people spitting. Good thing is, those behaviors are more concentrated in older generations. hopefully it can be phase out in the near future. Keep rolling out great videos Sir. I miss my hometown soooo much.

[@richardhartung1576]

[@xiaokang8692]

Smoking everywhere: toilets, shopping malls, underground parkings. spitting is unbelievably frequent. Littering everywhere, dropping all kind of rubbish anywhere.

[@SuperRienzi]

I was in China two times - in 2019 and in 2023 and I mentioned in 2023 Chinese people is smoking less then it was in 2019. and it is probobly not coincedance - in metro I regularly saw antismoking ad. Probobly Chinese government find out this issue and now try to solve it.

[@kinnichimariano1160]

ccp support in the reply

[@tearst2812]

Haha very true, especially about burping, which is kind of socially accepted in China. I have lived in western countries for 16 years but only until recently did realize burping is considered as rude and embarrassed as farting 😂

[@spiritual-world-universe]

For 16 years , you didn’t realize it!! Definitely you are Chinese. My mean Chinese live in Chinese community in foreign country.

[@patrickwu6052]

You are right. It takes time to make changes. Many people just came to cities from rural areas.

[@shanghaiandi768]

It's improving very quickly

[@zhoujie2958]

As a local born and raised in Shanghai, I 100% agree with your points in this video. This is also what I hate about some people in this city. However, I have to say that China is still a developing country which is mostly made up of people with 农村户口（the registered residence of countryside ）, roughly about 80%-90%. When I watch your videos, I notice that some people you have filmed on the street are not local Shanghainese judging from the way they are dressed and the way they behave, like squating on the sidewalk, which is apparently a life habit in some northern provinces of China. Maybe I am a little bit "regionally biased", but that is the truth. These people are not educated and cultivated in the civilized way as people in metropolises are. For example, you will always see some courier guys on the scooters driving recklessly or spitting in public. Compared with them, I believe local Shanghainese behave more decently (Not all of them. Some Shanghainese in their 60s or 70s are not civilzed because they didn't receive much education in the Great Culture Revolution staged by Mao Zedong) . I am a teacher and also a father. I always educate my students and my son not to cause trouble to others. I believe that is the very thing a lot of Chinese people must know.

[@shanghaiandi768]

I agree with you, thanks for your personal opinion as a Shanghainese, I know you are not biased, just speaking the truth from what you've seen.

[@cicigao4807]

a little bit "regionally biased"? Too low profile!

[@ylloboy]

what's the song used at 4:46?

[@meaganchui363]

I kinda agree with what majority is saying cuz ppl blocking the way is horrible what if u bump into someone when a person has a lot of stuff carrying on them. And bro imagine ppl smoking in toilets that’s so disgusting and that smells bad. And the washrooms in HK and China, it’s so disgusting oh my goodness it’s just 🤢 gross. And the third one, burping around is just so disgusting. Ppl in China and Hong Kong they burp loud and when they burp, they wouldn’t say excuse me when they burp. That’s disgusting. And spitting loudly it’s just 🤮 disgusting. I wouldn’t do that in public. Ppl can be loud a lot. Yeah I think they’re louder which is pretty annoying. But yeah it’s crazy

[@macc240038]

The issue is not being more patient and going around people standing in the middle of the sidewalk or in a doorway, blocking the entrance. That's an excuse. The issue is those people are inconsiderate of others.Chinese people in the US , especially the older ones, are the same. They don't take notice of the people around them.

[@thiagosouzaim]

I discover your channel recently and I really enjoy watching your videos I think this content will be necessary when I go to China, saludos desde brasil hermano latino 🇧🇴 🇧🇷 🇨🇳 ❤

[@shanghaiandi768]

Obrigado! China te va a gustar mucho

[@sigalz]

As a Chinese I agree all of these especially 4, it’s really annoying and disgusting when seeing someone spit loudly. 1 and 5 are kind of annoying too, you can say 借过 or 请让一下 when people blocking the way, but if they don’t listen, you just need to 挤过去😅And also, a lot of people like to play music out LOUD, I don’t even know the phone can be that loud at maximum volume and I wonder if their hearing is OK 😂

[@AudenZhao-nt1vx]

I don’t think you need to worry about what you say . These are sincere remainder. I don’t like these either as a Chinese. Hopefully we will make changes in the further.

[@shanghaiandi768]

Thanks! you are right

[@tantawan6]

They are very 'Selfish' people,they feel no shame at jumping que's and then look at you as if it's there god-driven right to do so.

[@PanzerBlitzkrieg-b6q]

As British Chinese, you must also consider Covid as well since that’s when a great surge of sino-phobics appeared around the world for younger generations. Whereas Older generations, they can be annoyed by the Chinese due to the Cultural Revolution like that comment posted. Now I suffered depression because of all the harassment and racism throughout my life and I’m still young as well

[@shanghaiandi768]

Sorry to heat that! Nobody deserves to be treated badly based on their race. Chinese people are overall very nice and friendly, the world should know more about it

[@wz88]

I completely agree with you and can relate as a fellow Chinese individual. I'm hopeful that with more videos like yours, awareness will increase and people will begin to realize the negative impact their behavior can have on those around them. However, please be aware that some individuals may leave harsh comments due coming from their "glass heart". Please don't let their words discourage you!

[@shanghaiandi768]

Thanks!! 🙏

[@信仰-d2b]

作为一个中国人，我完全同意你的观点。我希望有更多像你这样的视频，人们的意识会提高，人们会开始意识到他们的行为会对周围的人产生负面影响。然而，请注意，有些人可能会因为他们的“玻璃心”而留下严厉的评论。请不要因为他们的话而气馁！

[@captainvontrappandmaria]

4:57 hahahaha. That was funny. Interesting video haha.

[@cobaltblue2756]

In my culture burping isn't rude at all,it indicates you eating to much or something wrong with your digestive system probably gonna catch fever . Sneeze in other hand you should not doing it in the middle of meal.

[@BrendaLee-e7y]

I am a Chinese, thank you for pointing thiese out, we still have a lot need to learn and improve, hope more and more my fellows will reallize these.

[@meimiaolin2581]

This video should have Chinese subtitles so it can be used to educate people on how to behave in a civilized society. Thumbs up brother!

[@shanghaiandi768]

Thank you! I have the subs, will upload them!

[@sola4393]

Yes please. Also not just foreigners dislike, many civilize Chinese does not like. Those habits are disgusting. The spitting is an all time most hated old habit, even before cars were introduce to the country, nothing to do with pollution. The good and the bad habits passes onto next gen. and the people around them. The spitting people should get their health check instead. The video nails it.

[@shirleyc3175]

I agree with most of these, especially people blocking the way!! Why do people just stand in the middle of a door, the road, an entrance…?!?

[@chiuedwin9848]

I totally agree with you on these 5, and even 5 more is not too much bcuz actually there are more. I hope Chinese Government and some Chinese KZbinrs will zero in on your channel and educate those people accordingly. China will become much better only if people improves their overall quality. I am pretty sure this can be done in 5 years or even sooner.

[@snowgum8333]

Thanks for exposing these bad manners so Chinese will change for the better..

[@Lumiffi]

As a Chinese I do agree. Hopefully these will improve with time. I hate to see my parents spitting. I guess it’s quite normal when they are young.

[@何姜姜]

Thought needs to progress, and you have to admit that young people in China are more witty, civilized, and polite compared to the elderly

[@Big_Blue_Monkey]

Most of those really bother me as much as my wife who's Chinese lol. Those are some things that bug her a lot when we go back to China…lol

[@nk5942]

No.4 is the most disgusting, even my parents do it sometimes, but there’s no way, they didn’t get the education they deserve, you know, survival is the most important thing for Chinese people in that era.

[@xll5668]

Spitting is definitely the one. However I think it's not just water, they are clearing their throat from 痰. It's more like they feel uncomfortable in the throat for some reason. I thought after 3 years pandemic these people would learn to not do this in public but it's back to the old days. So annoying. Burping actually I never noticed it...Blocking the road is more about cultural. Don't feel rude if you have to push your way through people. Speaking loudly is more of a generation style. The older generation in China and the teenagers in the US speak loudly at the same level hhhh. I used to met a group of US students studying in China in a metro. They were so loud that a student (not sure if a local or a US exchange student) sitting next to them shouted them to shut up.

[@heathenspider]

Americans only care about themselves that's why they behave like that

[@mathersmarshall8235]

Careful observation. I think the most annoying thing is spitting as a Chinese. China has been through big events and changes for the last 200 years. Even the reforming and opening policy has only been for 44 years, while the first ten years of it wasn't successful actually. After the cultural revolution, China recovered the College Entrance Examination in 1977. Sad story. Spitting is not acceptable at all. Burping generally doesn't occur in front of strangers. The others are not big deal to me, but your observation is careful as usual.👍 But, as a reminder, the biggest cumulative carbon dioxide emissions country since 1850 is the U.S. which has been 546 billion metric tons, whereas China has been 305. It's the convenience of Internet media that gets people target the pollution of China which started to develop not long ago as a global factory. The true intention of BBC and CNN depicting China as a environment destroyer to all English speakers in the world is to suppress China’s development and a part of geopolitical propaganda.

[@1bhaihay]

Thank you. Hope the government take you up on it.

[@honantong]

Very true.

[@多村老盛]

1、I think speaking or burping loudly is not a bad habit, because we have no standard of what is loud. Also, many western ladies in little dress can be seen as rude to others, can we judge that yet? Receving signals from hearing or seeing are things I think the same. 2、Spitting and blocking the way, I agree with you. They do hurt other people, no matter on health or moving.

I have problems with only Loud people and burping. My Country is like that too so seeing it in China makes me a bit angry Welp at least their not bothering you on the street or say "Hey Dude!" When they're obviously shouldn't because stranger danger and it's super creepy When i went outside a few days ago, A man just stopped and asked me "Can you fix my car mirror? it bented" NO! Fix it yourself i don't even know you creep! why the hell are u just coming to me and ask me random stuff like that!? Ughhh.... I'm sorry but i have to say that, we need to learn a few things from Japanese people. I like China and the people are nice, But talking loud and burping on the street can really drive people like me crazy. There's no reason to just talk loud on the train becasue it's a TRAIN! (You can ignore this part i just added it for me to refer to) Sorry i talked too much... I'm planning on studying in China in september so this kinda makes me worried I think China is an awesome country! the landscapes, the convenience, the welcoming of the people, the great (Dare i say) Vocational education system (I looked at some and they look very good for me!) However there's alot of things that can be improved upon and Winnie the pooh should relax imo I'm seeing his name in EVERY University website and it's getting on my nerves a bit cause i despise politics

So many Asians walk exactly like this. 2. Public singing and playing music trough your phone. Especially in public long distance transports.
