I was born in China but raised in Singapore and Canada. Whenever people complained about "chinese tourists" it always shocked me because my family and friends are so considerate when traveling. But I understood when I traveled back to China. I was stranded at a train station one day and had to fight off literal hordes to get another train ticket to Hong Kong for my flight back to Canada. Everyone was pushing and complaining I was taking too long. I took 5 min because I had to explain that I can't read and that my situation was urgent, and it was longer to process with a passport holder rather than someone with a chinese resident card. There was also an instance of a airplane attendant from a local airline ripping off my earphones out of my ears without warning when I was just sitting at my seat listening to music during boarding. I even started bleeding a bit where she pulled it, realized this later. She then incited the other passengers to "punish" me. I was 25 at the time but I look very young, and I was being bombarded by dozens of other people sermoning me like a child. The airplane intendant was very smug that I couldn't defend myself as my chinese vocabulary was not fluent and noone could understood me expressing myself in english. Her colleague had to intervene when I started crying. It was actually horrifying. Worst travel experiences ever

I used to work at a beachfront restaurant in California. We had many different tourist groups from Asia. We had Japanese, Filipinos, Koreans, Vietnamese, and Hong Kong Chinese as well as Chinese from Malaysia and Singapore. All were generally respectful, courteous and friendly. Mainland Chinese were a different story. The arrogance, sense of entitlement, lack of personal hygiene(especially from a civilization that developed medical advancements)was really shocking to be around. I have a lot of praise and respect for Chinese culture and civilization, but the behavior of Chinese tourists needs a serious upgrade.

My Chinese coworker who is in his 60s has a very good answer for this. He from time to time will tell us very interesting eye opening things about Mao's red guards back in the Big Leap days at lunch hour. The red guards were a sizable portion of people of his generation who were coerced to commit despicable acts against their own friends and families and traditional values. Its very tragic because after being used purely as political pawns they got pushed to far away rural areas to cultivate and "revolutionize". Those people then grew old and raised bad children. When China entered their industrialization phase, the government started to buy lands and make those people millionaires overnight. And these "new money" then started traveling outside the country... The conversation came up because he said there are more and more genz kids supporting communism and that worried him because he sees himself going through the same emotions like back in the day.

See the problem people have with Chinese tourists is mostly because those are New money people. Some of them literally went from a illiterate peasant to a millionaire, and you can’t complain that is a bad thing. There is practically no old money from the mainland. And new money people can spend on luxuries and not get the cultural norms of other countries. And by the way, a lot of people complaining about mainland Chinese people being rude doesn’t even realize how biased they behave. This is specially so with some Immigrants that left the mainland, I have had a Chinese American flight attendant repeat 3 times that she, unlike me was an American citizen and therefore goes through an automated pathways, when I asked her about customs, by the way, I never asked her about her nationality. And you have those that automatically thinks that you needs to be enlightened by democracy if you are from the mainland, or those that think that I must not know any English and must be dumb if I came from the mainland. If they have that attitude, I bet they won’t have a good experience with mainlanders.

I finally decided there was something uniquely troublesome about the behavior of Chinese tourists after an incident during the Japanese festival of ohana-mei, cherry blossom viewing, when a group of Chinese tourists climbed into the trees to tear off branches as souvenirs. Nothing could have horrified the Japanese more, and now the Japanese have special sections of exhibits for Chinese tourists, or carefully escort Chinese tourist groups just as the Japanese have done with Westerners for many years.

Modern Chinese mannerism is complicated. It’s not as simple as boiling it down to the fault of Chinese communist party. I agree that majority of it is very much due to that when looking at more recent history but if you go back over 100 years you will realize that isn’t the case. Modern mainland Chinese or overseas Chinese that still have Chinese nationalism in their hearts’ seemingly rude behavior is because of habits from poverty that lasted multiple generations. These habits got reinforced by the CCP, the CCP didn’t create them. You had corruption in the later years of Qing dynasty that put the general population into poverty. You had the opium wars that corrupted the elites and resulted in oppression from the west. You had Cantonese people being shipped off to the west as coolie, which was just slavery in disguise. You had the Japanese occupation causing civil and political unrest. You had the cultural revolution destroying the wealth of the non ruling class. You had oppression from the KMT after Sun Zhong Shan no longer being the party leader. Then you have modern day China where the general population was constantly under poverty until Xi’s presidency and even then the uplifting of poverty in China is very surface level with certain racial and social minorities still oppressed. Just like it is difficult to get a homeless person that is a drug addict to have good mannerism overnight, it is difficult to change the habits that was developed over generations of poverty in just 10 years. Even Taiwan early on had people that were rude, which is why we had the slang Tai Ke which is now equivalent to a Taiwanese red neck. Sure Taiwan is no longer like that anymore because they have democracy, uplift of poverty, cultural preservation, and freedom of speech which results in a freedom of sharing ideas. However with the CCP none of these freedoms or access of information and expression exists, which causes habits created by poverty hard to change.

I wouldn't chalk this up to generations of poverty on a national scale. A majority of Filipinos are under the poverty line, have been for generations. They've been under the rule of the Spanish, America and Japan and have been oppressed for centuries. Still, the country is well known for the friendliness sand courteousness of its people. For China, I think it's because part of their propaganda has always been that China is "above" other countries, and that their neighbouring Asian countries is just Chinese territory yet to be reclaimed. Since the role of propaganda is so strong in the echo chamber and censorship of the CCP, the idea that "China is the best country and that all other nations exist to serve them" became prevalent and lead to the current arrogant attitude-NOT because of "bad habits developed in poverty"

I live in New Zealand, our population of Chinese was very small before the late 1980s. People from Hong Kong started coming over to live before HK returned to China. Then in the 1990s more people from the Peoples Republic of China came. There was a noticeable difference. The Hong Kong people were much more aware of interactions between themselves and others who were not of their race. Also the Chinese from the Republic find it difficult to come to terms that they are a minority in other countries. The people from the Philippines, Singapore, Malaysia, South Korea and Japan are more use to foreign concepts. The people of the Chinese Republic can often be seen as impatient, loud, and clearly dont understand boundaries when it comes to personal space. Also it may be a clash in generations.

What we perceive today as "brash" or "unrefined" behavior from mainland Chinese is merely a reflection of the tumult and poverty their country suffered.

Depends what you mean by real. That's just based on a study on 4000 years of Chinese history. If you mean the actual Chinese state well that's just a small province that spread out under Shi Huang Ti. Making everything within his empire just occupied territory. In truth I Don't think there is such a thing because they have never remained unified under anyone. The closest they ever came to stability was under the Ming Dynasty and that lasted only 300 years. There whole history is just this continuous cycle of unification, a honeymoon phase where there is stability until some idiot comes to power who somehow does something to piss off his own people then it goes into a period of expansion or attempted expansion until the people have had enough where it breaks apart until the cycle starts again. You don't have to take my word for it pick a province at random and read its history and see for yourself even the author of Romance of the Three Kingdoms summarized Chinese History as " Empires wax and wane and States tear asunder and coalesce." And that was written in the 2nd century. See why i said I don't think there is such a thing as the real China.

[@edtravelbug]

I travel the world and am fortunate. Just in the last 5 years, I have encountered extremely rude and aggressive behavior by the Chinese. In Czechy Krumlov, there were hundreds, and most of the behavior was bad. Same with Lake Hallstatt, Austria, where I had to leave an area to avoid getting pulled into rude behavior. A big incident happened at the airport in Granada, Spain where a family of 6 Chinese split up into 3s and went to the front of a closed glass door with a single file line to board a plane. As soon as the door opened, they came from both sides and literally pushed me backward to try to have all 6 family members skip the line and get to the front. Finally departing a plane, we were all standing up, waiting for the door to open so we could exit the plane = A Chinese woman said excuse me, to ask 14 people to skip everyone to get to the front so she could be first. I/everyone was so shocked, and she caught everyone off guard, so no one (including us) stopped her. Now compare it to a recent one-month visit to Japan, with stark cultural and behavior differences. The Japanese are so polite and their culture is one of the best. Also, pretty darn good behavior and attitudes from Singapore, Thailand, Bali, Cambodia, and Vietnam trips and people. It is strictly the arrogant Chinese that I see this behavior from an Asian perspective.

Actually just the opposite: Shen Yun is and always has been a mouthpiece for Falungong, a peaceful modern pseudo-Buddhist mystical/metaphysical religion that started off being popular in China and supported by the state until the CCP felt threatened when they saw how organized the group was and then suddenly turned on them, making FLG an enemy of the CCP. I would not say that the Shen Yun motto of "China before communism" is accurate at all. The performance and style is as much Western as it is Chinese, and it is indeed an American presentation, based in NY. China before communism was a thin layer of royalty and aristocrats ruling over masses of destittue people, the same as it was in much of the rest of the pre-modern world (and the way it still is in "modern" China.) The people would try to find solace in superstition, much as the European peasantry in centuries past. This SY motto glorifies the past in order to try to spread dislike of the CCP. The funny thing is that the past was not that glorious, and even that often-repeated phrase "5,000 years of civilisation" is grossly inaccurate. The irony is that there is no need to over-glorigy a fictional past in order to criticise the CCP, for the ruling party is very easy to criticise... if one lives outside of China and is not easy prey for the ubiquous state propganda. A common and accurate assertion is that if one wants to see the real China, one must go to Taiwan. Many foreigners in China for decades call China a nation of peasants. I have seen horribly boorish behaviour even by big city mayors and various rich bigshots. First, Mao destroyed Chinese culture and history, and nearly destroyed the nationa nd society, and then reversed Mao's policy of self-isolationism by opening China and glorifying getting rich, while all religion and philosophy are persecuted and trampled, so the CCP is the new church, Mao is still the pope (even decades after his death), and money and greed and selfishness are the new philosphy. Becasue of the decades of culture and moral-destoying propoganda, the Chinese people that everyone likes are generally from anywhere other than mainland China.

Forget table manner, they even litter on the table and floor! I was utterly speechless! And maybe others too! There's also one from security guards of girl dorms. They said, "Don't look at how those Chinese girls dress in branded clothes and pretty make up when they're going out. Trust me, u don't want to see how their rooms look like. Or how they look and smell at home. Not to mention their attitude." And this really opened my eyes. When my dad avoid anything related to China, I thought he's just being judgmental.

They didn't seem to care about any other. We tried to figure out why with my husband and my friends.

China is an overcrowded country and there are generations of traumas generated from lacking of resources, including food and other essentials. So in a way yes, we do have this every man out for themselves mentality, and people can get really competitive, rude or even ruthless.

When I came to China, I came to appreciate my country Greece's philosophers and myths more and more after finding how much common ground it has with Chinese ancient history. Keep up the good work Lei!

My family recently visited Vietnam. As we waited to check into our hotel Da Nang, I had a chat with the manager. I asked which nationality represented the most customers of the hotel. She replied that it was the Koreans followed by the Japanese. I asked her what about Chinese, and she looked at me with destain and said, “ oh, we don’t allow Chinese in our hotel.” Such is the reputation of the Chinese tourist in Vietnam.

I read the book and watched the movie, Mao's last dance. The movie didn't make me cry but the book did. I suggest everyone to read the book prior watching the movie.
