What The Chinese Think Of Chinese Tourist Stereotypes | ASIAN BOSS 

Special thanks to Sherry and Jiujiu for hosting and reporting. For those of you wondering why Kei (half-Japanese guy) and I (Korean guy) are no longer conducting street interviews ourselves, we are still very much involved behind the scenes to ensure that you continue getting the most quality content. In the end, Asian Boss was never about the two of us becoming famous RU-vidrs (we don't kid ourselves thinking we ever were). It’s always been about bringing people's voices together and creating a movement where anyone can become an "Asian Boss.” One thing is for sure - we will need a lot of Asian Bosses from all over Asia and the rest of the world to form a tight community that will bring about necessary change to the media industry. We will make a video about our vision as a media startup to explain this in greater detail in the coming weeks. In the meantime, you will see a lot more hosts & interviewers from different countries, so please be supportive of them and continue to believe in our vision. We are all in this together. Thanks everybody! - Steve

Foreigners don't focus on Chinese, Chinese make it impossible to ignore them.

Lol I feel like most of them are in denial.

The middle aged guy with the spiky hair was the smartest wisest guy in this interview

This isn't a stereotype, it's a genuinely real phenomenon.

"They pay too much attention on us." It's because the tourist are too loud that the attention is on them, in the first place.

“Foreigners act poorly as well...” Thanks, Logan Paul.

The stereotype goes too deep that when I’m abroad nobody believes I’m Chinese, or they refuse to believe a well-behaved person can be Chinese

The guy in the black shirt is in denial. As what Miriam said" ignorance can be treated, but stupidity is forever."

Pulling the race card is so dumb. I don't care if it's part of your culture, if you travel, you immerse yourself in another culture. Don't bring your bad manners to the country you're visiting. Hopefully, they will be aware of their mistakes and learn from it

There are really bad Chinese tourists and really good Chinese tourists. I met an elderly Chinese couple while traveling in Korea. They looked so old. 70+, maybe even 80. But they were SOOOO friendly. We did not speak the same language, but we understood each other's kindness. I offered my seat to them, but only the wife sat, and when I insisted the husband sit too, he kept insisting I take the other empty seat. He would not accept my seat at all. He was so eager to tell me a story. I couldn't understand him, but he just kept talking in a very friendly manner.

Recently, A Chinese mom made her son poop in the newly cleaned beach in Boracay so yuhhhh

"Because foreigners pay too much attention to us" Dude everytime I've encounter your countrymen they always talk so loud like there's a one mile gap between them.

I am a Malaysia-born Chinese, I personally don't have a positive impression with the elder Chinese tourists who were traveling in groups, they were not well-behaved, extremely loud & annoying. Some of them even acting disrespectful and unhygiene. Normally I will avoid myself to walk along with the Chinese tourists groups to prevent myself to get embarassed when others misundertand that I was part of them in the UK. While those younger Chinese individual tourists or small family group were completely fine and nice ^^

That dude with the backpack seems really defensive.

I am currently in Bangkok, it is my first time to ever leave my country (New Zealand). I am 23, and I have been so shocked by the Chinese tourists that I have seen here. They are INSANELY loud, I was so shocked at the lack of respect for others around them. 90% of the temples and nice places are impossible to enjoy because of them, most of them are in massive tour groups, they are deafeningly loud, and make it very difficult to enjoy the beautiful places here. I have even encountered small groups, 2-4 people, that were so unnecessarily loud, they only speak Chinese and think they can do whatever. It's truly sad for the well mannered Chinese tourists, because these others leave such a bad impression on other travelers and locals. I have such a negative image of Chinese tourists after these experiences. Thank you to all the Chinese travelers who ARE respectful and well mannered, but the majority outweighs the minority

“foreigners notice this more bcs we have yellow skin” bruh! i got yellow skin i c u bruh. Why u cutting my lineeee old lady!! legit pissed. u think they only b traveling to west like europe n usa only? bruh...

the young guy in the black trying hard to down play how rude chinese people truly are, its not jsut about manners, it's about being mindful and considerate of others around and not just focus on yourself all the time@!

Asian boss you should show them videos of Chinese people "misbehaving" I think this would be a great idea because it will give an example of what foreigners are talking about. If everyone likes this comment I would appriciate it. I would really like to see their reaction. Thank you.

I went to Singapore and met a group of Chinese tourists in the airport. There's one guy accidentally hit a girl in front of him because he didn't see his way. The girl looked really mad and complained about using English. Since this man can't understand English well instead of sorry he said thank you thank you. It's finally made the girl laughing instantly 😂😂😂

Sorry, I got distracted from the "Kabedon" on the background at 2:45 😭😭😂

When I went to Hong Kong Disneyland, a couple (mother and father) helped their chubby son climb MY BODY so that he could stand on a trash can to watch the fireworks. I was shocked >.< When I went to Thailand, a Chinese woman just asked the Starbucks barista for hot water in Chinese, and the barista tried to answer in Chinese "You must buy something" but the Chinese woman couldn't understand and just continued to ask questions. She didn't even try to understand or wait for a response. I thought it was so strange...if you have a question, why don't you wait for the answer? You know you are in another country...try to speak the language or at least slow down. Again in Thailand, my friends and I were in line for the bathroom when a Chinese tour bus pulled up. They swarmed the bathroom and pushed us out of the way. We speak Chinese, so we told them we were here first, and that there is a line. They just said they were already in line and turned away from us. So incredibly rude. We ended up using the men's restroom and heard them laughing. Overall, I think Chinese tour groups are the worst. They push, shove, yell and are generally unsanitary (spitting, standing on toilet seats, throwing trash everywhere and smoking). However, I have also encountered a young couple traveling alone in Taipei and they were very polite and well-mannered. I think/hope that the Chinese travel culture is improving in the new generation. Of course, they need to see the world in order to understand it so we have to be patient. Now Americans aren't the only tourists with a bad reputation, haha.

emmm Just to be clear, the rude behaviors from the older generation such as pushing people, shouting across the street, spitting etc. are NOT ACCEPTABLE NORMAL behaviors in China as well. Some of the younger generations are trying to educate their parents/grandparents to change some of the bad behaviors, some of the older people do listen, but some of them do not. Some of the older persons are stubborn, they don't listen, they think the youngsters are just little brats, like how dare you little kids lecture an experienced seniors. If you are trying to stop a elderly stranger for some kind of bad behavior, you may get ignored. If the elderly has a bad temper, you may get blamed for you are not respecting the elderly(although everyone knows its not true). However, these behaviors do not justify them as a bad person. I saw an elderly ho relying on recycle bottle and paper for a living, he spits when he wants to, but he also donates money to charity. Some of older generations do not have the chance to get education when there were young, it is hard enough for them to just live, so they don't have the time to think about being the person with best temperament. Some people does not live in an exquisite life, they just live it the rough way, they probably were not aware that some of the behaviors are not polite. This is not something you can changed in one day, some of them have been like this for most of their life, it takes a long time to change a long-time habit. But things are only gonna get better and better, just a matter of time. I know some people like to believe what they want to believe, even they know the truth deep down in their minds. It a waste of time to educate or argue with them.

I am managing guesthouse & hostel. Especially chinese tourists makes room dirty & don't keep basic rules/manners. 1) Stack up a huge amount of garbage in the room. 2) Every notice are ignored. 3) Never use english. Even some of many chinese can not read alphabet 4) Smoke in the room/bathroom 5) Make noisy with big voice. They seriously need behavior education...

It's not about CULTURE, it's about HABITS! The culture is good and all about educating people to be polite, strong and mindful. The problem is a lot of people don't respect or even know about their beautiful traditional culture, (especially the baby boomer generation!!) . One of my favorite quote ("谦谦君子，温润如玉"), which means " Be humble, gentle and warm like jade".

It’s not prejudice. At all. Chinese tourists are generally really noisy to the point of being offensive, and they don’t have manners and do things like cut queue and push people to and fro, it’s not just a prejudice. And I’m Chinese, except from Malaysia.

As a chinese person, I suggest that the reason there is a "stereotype" is because the people who usually sign up for those Chinese tour groups are people who have recently come into money due to the economic upturn of China; people who previously could not afford to travel abroad can do so now and many of them are "uncultured" and "bad-mannered" people who are probably used to the hubbub of urban Chinese life. I think these people are not the norm, but they set a stereotype amongst Westerners regardless, since they're so noticeable. You can find these "tourist" types even within China, at airports and at high-speed railways, yelling and being rude. The average Chinese traveler finds them a nuisance, too. ...and as others have pointed out, it's usually old or middle-aged people who are making a racket.

That woman said people in Singapore seem indifferent and as a Singaporean I almost laughed from how true it is.

First of all, I feel like these interviewees live in Shanghai too long (literally the nicest way I could put into) that they forget a LARGE part of China isn't as developed as Shanghai or other mega cities. Also a LARGE part of our folks are just NOT as educated as them. Personally I totally get where this stereotype coming from. Just look at how we behave in our own country. For example toilet environment especially in those not so fancy district. Just admit it, we are not the most polite and educated people on earth as a whole, and we should do better. Admit it, apologize, talk about it, work on it, it's not so hard and not at all a shameful thing to do. Respect / reputation is something you earned not something you could get by telling people that they should. Denial only make things worse.

I'm Chinese and I work at Sydney international airport. I deal with tons of tourists on a daily basis. I can confirm Chinese and Korean tourists are the worst lol (also some local bogans haha). Those rude and loud tourists are mostly in their 50s-60s, have zero english speaking skills and travelling in a large group. But I find those individual travellers and younger generations are all well-educated and respectful, even better than those tourists from other countries that I encountered.

From my personal experience it all boils down to historical context and education. Growing up my parents have always taught me the importance of proper manners and respect, along with other traditional Chinese values. My parents were in term taught by my grandparents. My family had that privilege because although we are not wealthy, we are very educated. My grandparents were in fact the first in their villages and counties to go to college, which makes me a third generation college grad. And that’s rarest of the rare in China. Due to historical reasons most Chinese people of our generation are first generation college students. Their parents and grandparents never had the opportunity to go to college. And that had made all the difference. Looking at People’s Republic of China now its easy to forget that less than 50 years ago over 90% of population living a life scraping off trees and grass to survive poverty. During cultural revolution in the 1960s the entire education system collapsed, almost nobody went to school, and there was no university education for 10 years. China has gone through countless wars and famine in the last 200 years which practically completely destroyed the country. What people don’t realize is that what is considered “normal” now has only been the case for 30 years. And now from dirt poor country to a superpower, a lot is changing. With enormous flow of wealth and a lack a social changes as dramatic as the economic ones, it is easy to see why China is the way it is right now. I’m not saying this to minimize anything but it explains a lot of these behaviors and even more about the modern-day China. I hope at least through asking the why people can understand a little better.

Why is it always..."I think it's a stereotype, its because they hate us" or "Everywhere else there is a lack of ethics". And never..."Maybe we should take care of our image when we are guests in a foreign country".

I really thought that most of them would come to agree with some of the stereotypes..........but I was wowed when most of them were all in denial, especially the black shirt dude bringing skin colour into this. I mean it was to be expected but....

I went to Kyoto last year, and being a Chinese myself (from Malaysia), I got scolded and lectured by a local in a bus right after landing. I was speaking mandarin with my friend, discussing where we should go after the bus stops, this local lady speaks english to us in mid conversation and asked us to read more books and respect their culture more. This might be our wrong, but similar instances happened whenever I speak mandarin in Japan. After those incident I try to not speak mandarin there anymore, people really have a bad impression against Chinese. But as I was going through all the beautiful shrines and temples in Kyoto, the chinese tour groups are disaster in flesh. I remember theres this one bell hanging on top of a walkway, with a sign that says "no touching", this group of chinese right in front of me take turns jumping and knocking the bell like a basketball game or someshit. Jesus christ

I remember going to Versaille in France and there was a queue to get in. Everyone was waiting patiently then there were loud noises and there was a massive group of Chinese people trying to cut the queue and avoiding eye contact with everyone. Everyone got angry and told them to go to the back of the line and wait like everyone else. That was my first encounter with Chinese tourists. Other than that, Chinese people seem nice

I am Chinese but from Singapore and honestly it's really horrible how some Chinese tourist from China behave. I have been rejected from making a reservation in Japan but was later accepted when they realise I am not from China

It's not merely the noise factor that people hate about mainland Chinese tourists. It's the sense of self-entitlement. The majority of them (i utterly refuse to apologise for saying this) have absolutely no respect whatsoever for anything or anyone, especially in SEA where they apparently consider themselves above everyone else, especially non-Chinese Asians as well as Hakka and non-mainland Chinese. Consequently, they are loathed and hated by everyone in SEA, but (and this is worth emphasising) especially by non-mainland Chinese. Everywhere I travel in SEA (I currently live in Malaysia), i see examples of why they are hated. For example, in the marine wildlife reserves (Malaysia has some of the best in the world), they utterly refuse to show even the smallest level of respect for the parks, the staff or the rules. They casually pick coral off the sea bed and wantonly litter, and when they are confronted about it they are unfathomably arrogant. All the dive-masters on my last trip confirmed their hatred of the mainland chinese, and i witnessed their behaviour for myself. Their attitude was 'we already paid, we can do whatever we want!'. Hotels will often default reply to enquiries to groups of mainland Chinese with 'sorry, we're fully booked', which speaks volumes as to how problematic they are; it's just not worth having them around. This is not the way local Chinese in SEA behave. This is a very specific issue relating to Chinese from mainland China. The difference between Chinese from Hong Kong or Taiwan or Malaysia is visible. You can spot mainland Chinese practically anywhere, literally on account of the stereotype.

Most frustrating behaviours from Chinese tourists in New Zealand and Australia: when going for a hike in our beautiful scenery, only to witness Chinese tourists littering rubbish everywhere, even nappies get stuffed in between tree branches. We now take an extra rubbish bag just to clean up after them. Why visit a beautiful place, and leave it polluted? And filming, photographing, or trying to touch our kids hair. Its so taboo. Just. Don't.

nah nah nah...”they like quiet, we are very enthusiastic” how about throwing hot coffee on a stewardess face, putting newspapers so kids can poop in their seat on the airplane, ram sacking buffets and not eating what they take

The one lady who says "we think it's fine" proves the point of the stereotype haha These are all young people so they will respond this way.

I live in Thailand, I'm Asian, so I'm not racist against Asians (obviously). Last year, 9 million mainland Chinese tourists came to Thailand. I have to say, Chinese tourist manners have improved greatly over the last few years. I don't think they want to be rude, it's just how they behaved in China, and once they became aware that theirbehavior was not socially appropriate they changed. No one wants to be called a rude tourist after all. I also want to point out that there's a big difference in behavior between Singaporean, Hong Kong, Taiwan Chinese vs Mainland Chinese. Singaporeans are super polite, always have been!

when I go to amusement parks in Korea, the Chinese tourists are always cutting in line for the roller coasters or other rides that have a long wait time. I guess they don't know how to stand in line and wait their turn

I love how they try to play the race card when this stereotype also exists all over Asia as well.

2:51 I live in a Southeast Asian Country where ~23% of our population are Chinese. You virtually can’t tell by looks if someone is local Chinese or Mainland Chinese tourist. But you can definitely tell by behavior. Our Chinese are well-behaved with really good manners. Even they are embarrassed by the mainland Chinese tourists and don’t want to be associated with them at all.

Hygiene is the most critical part.

i never knew the stereotypes but when i was in Hong Kong every time i encountered large groups of Chinese tourists they fought to be at the front of the line and even hurt other tourists who were there first. it ruined our trip, but the Hong Kong people and other Asian tourists were very polite and friendly.

you cannot use the race card in this lmao. i travel everyday on tokyo train and there’s always some chinese person shouting on the phone

They dont know the culture huh...but throwing shrimp shells on the floor , vandalising artifacts pooping on the floor etc has not something to do with culture theyre basic etiquette

I think the one guy made an important distinction, Young chinese or East Asian people in general are very polite and usually very considerate tourists. It's the older people especially Korean and Chinese old people are the ABSOLUTE RUDEST PEOPLE. I've traveled so many times were our flight, bus, attraction had a crowd of old Korean/Chinese people and you can tell right away because they shove people, cut in line, get in your personal space, shout across planes, get in everyone's way and are generally the least polite least considerate people you will ever encounter. I always try to get as far away from them as possible now because of how many times i've been shoved or had some old dude way too close for comfort.

China is now taking the place of " loud & rude americans " hahahaha

As a Chinese Australian, who works in a Chinese restaurant who serves Chinese tourists, you see all sorts of different types of “tourist” in my experience a fair chunk of Chinese Tourists are respectable and quiet and do their best to adhere to our customs. But occasionally you get that one Auntie and Uncle who think they are privileged and deserve more and starting making a racket.

I went on an island near my country as vacation with my family when we realised the majority of the tourists there were Chinese. I never had the mindset that Chinese tourists had bad behaviour, but I was shocked to witness how rude they can be. They always spoke so loudly, even from a distance. No, they practically screamed their conversations amongst themselves as if they wanted others to hear. It was so annoying. One time, the food at the buffet had just arrived. Instead of lining up, they swarmed the food and took as many food for themselves. For example, one dish had tons of fruits in it, and it was also meant for the other hotel guests. But it literally took only 2 chinese tourists to finish the whole dish as they practically kept it for themselves. I couldn’t even have one bite. Unbelievable.

I live in Buenos Aires and I've come across a lot of Chinese tourists. Most of them are actually pretty nice and well-behaved. So far the only "problem" I've found is that they litter way too much, even for our standards. Other than that, they are one of the nicest people I've ever met here. Regarding Chinese people who are actually living here, it's a whole different story. Some of them are nice, but the rest of them are really unfriendly people.

lol most noisy or worse manner Chinese tourists r older generation, the group who suffered heavily during the great famine and culture revolution. many didn't attend high school, its almost impossible to ask them act differently as some ideologies r entrenched within them.

"WHEN IN ROME, DO AS THE ROMANS DO" do these people actually think the locals would adjust their behavior for them? Smh 🤦🏽‍♂️

Your first question was “have you traveled abroad?” and your second question revealed an assumption “how did the group behave?” This is a big part of the problem. Chinese travel in huge groups. Most westerners never travel in big groups. Chinese as a result don’t interact with the locals. This is understandable because there is less need and less comfort but it really affects behavior I think.

I live in bali and chinese tourist is everywhere. They are loud, they shout from across the room to call the waiter instead of maybe, waving their hands or something. They don't queue (i think they never knew what a queue is actually) at all, they cut lines. And the worst thing is, they cross the road without giving any damn to the cars and motorcycles. What if the drivers accidentally bump into one of them that carelessly walk in the middle of the road? Silly.

i think the problem is with tour groups, which tend to be louder and more rowdy because there's a lot of them, doesn't matter what race or ethnicity they are. solo or small group travellers are less rowdy. here in San Francisco, i've noticed more younger solo Chinese and other Asian tourists, so hopefully the stereotype will change soon.

Japanese: *silently here and hopefully nobody notices otherwise I have made too much noise and it's rude* Chinese: *SO MUCH NOISE FOR NO REASON!!! LOUD!!!!! LOUD!!!!! NOISE!!!!!*

i work in a hotel CAN confirm all American and chinesse tourist act the damn same

These guys live on the longest river in Africa. Denial

I'm an Indonesian with Chinese descent, and when I went to Japan there are a lot of Japanese people doesn't really like Chinese tourists and I totally agree with them because most Chinese tourists are sometimes unhygienic and knowing how hygienic and clean Japanese people are they can't seem to like Chinese tourists. I've also heard from my mom's good friend who went to Europe, she went into a certain branded shop, and they employees acts a bit cold to them but after the employees ask where she is from (which she answered Indonesia), they immediately change their behavior and started to be more amicable and giving them a seat and offer them drinks. So I think not ALL Chinese tourists are like that but maybe most of them are, which is kinda sad though really.

Working in the airport in Japan, I'm having hard time to deal with those Chinese tourist. Watching this kinda helps me to try understand them.

I hope more action are needed to be done to fix this issue. Cause I also feel deeply ashamed and embarrassed.

I always thought that these were only stereotypes until I met different groups of Chinese tourists in Canada recently. The pushing, line jumping, grabbing all the food from the buffet and loudness were all true af.

2 minutes in and all I hear is "deal with it" attitudes. Or they don't think it's a problem. tf. It's not about what YOU feel. If you're in another country you observe their manners and try to follow. Lame.

The guy with glasses who talked about how the Chinese are spending their money in the local economy...his entitlement sums up this video.

Asian Boss leads the war by using *MISTRANSLATION* 😂

There was a group of Chinese exchange students in my university. They're just a ticking bomb wherever they go. 1. Loud in the canteen? Understandable since teenager can be overly excited sometimes. 2. The hallway? Okay, I'm good, guess you probably missing friends that you spend 24 hours with. But why can't they keep their excitement to themselves in the library? Do you really to laugh and clap? Shot and point at your friends? I saw nothing amusing about final assignment.

I've encountered chinese tourist who pushed to get to the front of the queues, who spoke too loudly when not necessary. But when i went to China, i found that it was NOT POSSIBLE to get to the front without pushing because everyone else was pushing. And i had to shout for waiters because we couldnt be heard otherwise. I guess when they go overseas, they forget to behave because those are the norms in their country. But some also have the mindset that they are here to spend and they contribute to your economy, and are therefore entitled.

I love these videos, thank you

I’m Chinese . I would say that at this point I have no words to defend. I don’t want to say it is cultural difference that cauz the situation and stereotypes. Some of the tourists from China surely behave themselves rudely and not respectful enough. I do really hope that our behaviors can change the bad stereotypes into respectful images one day,with the improvement of our education. Peace .

It’s not a stereotype. It’s the fact.

These people acting like its okay to be the same way they are in China in OTHER COUNTRIES?? Where is the respect? You're not at home in your own mainland, different countries have different cultures and they should make an effort to LEARN about it and not make themselves look like a fool, which in turn perpetuates this negative stereotype of "typical china tourists". Do you not care about upholding your name? So what if China is emerging as a potential second superpower if you don't have basic manners? It's a shame to your country and your people.

Man I feel so bad. I am Chinese and even though I grew up in Australia, I have the same problem. I have had way too many friends asks me to be more quiet when we're in a restaurant or ask if I have an 'inside voice' lol. I don't even realise I'm being super loud

I've heard the same argument, "this is how we usually do it China." The problem is, you are a tourist in a foreign land and are not in China anymore. When in Rome, do as the Romans do.

i love how one of the guys say its race but come one, u cant even queue up in a line properly. im chinese and many of them are so disrespectful not only to the rest of the world but to each other.

i just got back from Beijing this past Monday. Subways are clean and quiet. Everyone is staring at their phones. No one is pushing and shoving to get in and out of trains anymore. This is vastly different from my last visit in 2011. People stand to the right on escalators and allow for people in a rush to pass on their left. They employ attendees (乘车管理) on all their buses whose job it is to maintain order on buses, and help those in need. I see young people regularly giving up their seats to the elderly. People also help the elderly who fall down when the bus has to brake suddenly. They're doing a really great job at becoming "civilized". There are public service announcements everywhere reminding people to be polite, courteous, and moral. It was a vast improvement from a decade ago. What I think I am seeing is a concerted effort by by Chinese society to change the behavior of 1.4 billion people in a concerted manner. The older people find it harder to change their habits, while the younger people are more malleable. That's why you will notice that older people will still act "loudly" while the younger people are adopting international norms for politeness.

Thanks for this video, I'm currently doing a research study on Chinese tourist behavior and this is very helpful.

Interesting, everytime my Taiwan classmates behave bad, they'll say that they are chinese. And when they behave normal, they are Taiwanese.

I see Chineese tourists almost every day in Stockholm and I like them. They usually keep to touristy areas, have big cameras and take pictures of everything and wear touristy clothes. I think they always seem well mannered, happy and respectful to people around them, not loud at all. Often I get in a good mood when I see them walking around. Sometimes they wear breathing masks which Is amusing to see, we don't really use them in western countries.

I think the problem stems from the fact the China economically rose up quickly but the societal norms lagged behind. The people who contribute to the stereotypes are the ones who are suddenly wealthy (especially the ones from the rural areas) and doesn't realize the need to respect one's country or culture their traveling too because the arrogantly believe that money can solve everything. Things like trashing an airport, peeing in fountains, or excreting on the streets are prime examples that pushes prejudice against Chinese people across the world.

I've never been outside of America, but I'm beginning to believe that the Japanese must be the most well-behaved people on the planet. Nobody ever complains about them (We have mostly Chinese and Korean people where I live, so I haven't personally interacted with many Japanese people).

My worst experience of foreign tourists are French. I visited the tallest building in Shanghai around 2015. On the top level of that building, I went to use the bathroom. To my surprise, several foreign tourists were speaking loudly there and they seemed very surprised about the heating toilets and the view from the toilet. Even worse，some foreigner brought some guys to the lady’s restroom. All the Chinese were waiting in a line to use the restroom. But those guys jumped in and talked to those foreign ladies loudly and used the bathrooms! I really cannot bear this. So I shouted to them and complained to the staffs. I only knew they spoke French. So I think they are French tourists.

This video makes me cringe. I live in Hong Kong and I know exactly how BAD Chinese tourists are. They are loud, rude, unhygienic etc etc. That man who said we focus on them too much can leave, you can't even realize your own problems and you claimed that you're improving?? wtf??

Couple of things. I am Chinese, when I've traveled, I behaved according to standards and customs of the countries I am visiting. If I behave well, people assume I am Japanese, meaning, people's prejudices make it so even Chinese tourists behaving well are not recognized, reinforcing negative stereotypes. Also, there are many many rude tourists from every country. There are Americans that are rude to Chinese tourists. I don't think this issue is so simple.

2:45 no one notice the guys at the back?

it's mostly a generational problem i once saw an older chinese woman in her mid 50's she was taking a young child to the bathroom but on the sidewalk and a younger chinese girl from the same group was shouting at her and kept trying to pull up the boys pants she looked visibly embarrassed and older lady was fighting her like she saw no problem with it

As of South Korean, I think young generation of China is not that different from Koreans or Japanese. but always elderly group of tourists are making huge stereotypes about Chinese tourists in foreign land.

I really enjoyed listening to everybody's opinion in this study, except that guy in the black shirt who seemed to be very insecure. I also think that China is improving.

⁠It’s not just loudness but the utter disrespect for other people and cultures - from spitting in public to cutting in line and bellicose and aggressive behaviour, and greedily taking all the best food at the buffet and eating like utter pigs

I do think that the way their language is, it helps to the stereotype of loud and noisy. The intonation and certain emphasis is so thick.

From an Asian perspective, the Japanese definitely are most courteous and maintain a good personal space with strangers. By personal space, I also refer to tangible and audible aspects. They definitely learnt to be considerate of their own actions that might affect others as compared with other equally competitive Asian societies.

The last time I was in Japan, it was interesting how almost all of the locals stared into their phones or tapped away at their tablets. The ones who talked resembled those in library, keeping their voices to a minimum and almost muttering their words. Meanwhile, you could always rely on someone in the train blabbering out loud in Mandarin. Not that there's anything wrong with it - just an observation I made.

I am Japanese, we immigrated to NZ late 80s and my family were the first Asian moved into their neighborhood community and school welcomed us with open arms. But by mid 1990s it turned for the worse when NZ opened up more Asian immigrants and Asian do not accept or try to be part of NZ culture. My friends were all mixed and grouped together and after we graduated, I went back after five years for old school student speech, I was shocked how divided the students in the room, with Asian group on one side, whites on the other. Asians would come up and ask me why am I being friends with whites and I'm like "Hell seriously you're asking me this? I've been living here for 19 years what do you expect?!". They do not believe me that I lived this long. My father is tour guide/driver he translates, NZers would tell him to speak English or go back where he came from... Recently back in March this year I went back home to my hometown where my parents still lives, I was shocked by these Chinese and Korean tourists at the airport especially inside the plane, they were so rude, impatient and pushed me and others around to get to their seats! I am appalled and disappointed with their manners and have them to show more courtesy/respect others!!! They are as bad as Indians/Pakistanis in the U.S. especially in grocery stores. However, things got a lot better with young generations of both Asians and NZers as they learn to understand, tolerate each other more and with ease than it was before. It's the Asian tourists that needs to learn their manners...

6:13 yeah... Singaporeans can be very cold towards mainland Chinese. The majority of our population may be Chinese but we seemingly have a disdain towards mainland chinese

I've met a lot of Chinese tourists since I'm a waiter in a very touristic zone in Spain and most of them behaved really well,they are very polite and respectful.

Nooo... this isn't a prejudice because of their "yellow skin" as the guy said. There have been Japanese tourists here for decades, if it was based on some anti-Asian stereotype then it's weird I've never ever heard anyone complain about the Japanese. I lived in a "tourist destination town" for years and met a lot of people who worked in the tourist industry, and when you work with people from all over the world on a daily basis I think it's a matter of experience and not prejudice. They all complained about Chinese tourists :P It used to be Americans that had a bad reputation, now it's becoming Chinese and Russians. This video sorta suggest what is the problem as well, when you're in another country you are kinda expected to be aware that it's another culture and things works differently, yet these people don't see it as a problem because the behaviour is normal in China. Chinese education and Chinese media has been very self-centred and so they don't really have knowledge about the world. I blame their government and not them. But it looks like the government is trying to fix this problem.

I'm Chinese so it shames me to say that such selfish ignorant behaviour is based on misplaced arrogance....nothing to do with a lack of education/cultural differences....these people CHOOSE not to learn local etiquette and only behave in a way that maximizes their enjoyment of their holiday because they believe that their money gives them that right.

3 Chinese woman cut in front of me in a small elevator that barely fit three in New Zealand. After I yelled at them, they got out. Just yell at them. It works.
