During the day, I’m an engineer in a multinational company, and we have several Chinese partners working with us. This gave me a chance to interact and mingle with them. They are in fact no different than many of us and any other professionals out there. With cultures taken aside, they are as hardworking and as open as any staffs in our office. I have no problem with them, and I look forward to work with our Chinese partners again. I really don’t care whether they are Chinese, Japanese or Thais. It’s all about business, and that’s it.

Our Chinese partners came from Mainland China, sometimes in Taiwan or Hongkong. Outside work I met this nice guy from Singapore in a social media, and we have a nice chat about article writing. I never liked the government of People’s Republic of China, having occupied an Island near the Philippines and turned it into a military base. But that don’t extend to the Chinese citizens themselves.

And it surprised me now how they are making headlines lately.

Knowing some Chinese in Hongkong, Singapore, and Mainline China, I thought that news about Chinese tourists behaving like they are born in the barn are just online jokes. There is no way that people wealthy enough to afford a trip abroad will be this rude and uncivilized. It must be a 4chan post or something.

Turns out that those accounts are all true. Mainland Chinese do behave in shockingly disgusting behavior that will make one wants to deport them.
