Brief Summary
The video discusses a series of incidents involving Chinese tourists behaving poorly in various countries, including Singapore, Malaysia, and Japan. These incidents range from petty crimes and violations of local laws to displays of poor manners and hygiene. The video explores the negative impact of these behaviours on the image of Chinese people abroad and examines potential reasons behind these actions, including cultural differences and the influence of the Chinese Communist Party.
- Chinese tourists are increasingly criticised for their behaviour abroad.
- Incidents range from petty theft and queue jumping to hygiene issues and disrespect for local customs.
- Some blame the Chinese Communist Party for instilling extreme nationalism and self-interest.
Drinking Water on the Singapore Subway
The video starts by addressing the prohibition of drinking water on the Singapore subway. A Chinese man filmed himself drinking water on the subway, violating the rule against eating or drinking, which carries a $500 fine. This act sparked anger and criticism online, with some calling for the revocation of visa-free entry for Chinese tourists due to such behaviour. The subway company reported the incident to the police, and it's under investigation.
Crimes and Misconduct in Singapore and Malaysia
The video highlights a recent crime wave in Singapore involving Chinese nationals who flew in specifically to commit theft, stealing nearly 3.85 million Singapore dollars from wealthy homes. Several individuals have been arrested and could face up to 10 years in prison. Additionally, five Chinese men were involved in bribing law enforcement officers to extend their stay in Singapore and continue illegal activities, such as selling aphrodisiacs. In Malaysia, Chinese tourists have been involved in scandals ranging from queue jumping and fighting to falsely reporting a bomb threat.
Manners and Complaints
The video addresses complaints from Chinese tourists about Malaysia and Singapore, despite their own questionable behaviour. A Chinese student in Malaysia criticised the lack of manners among Chinese students, citing examples such as not saying thank you after asking for directions. Some Chinese tourists have also criticised Singapore for its strict rules and high cost of living, with one person saying that Singapore is full of Chinese people and feels like they haven't left China.
Criticism of Malaysian Food
A Chinese student shared a video criticising Malaysian food, questioning the hygiene and ingredients used. They criticised the use of colourful drinks and dishes like blue rice and overfried chicken. In response, a Malaysian blogger defended the use of natural ingredients in Malaysian cuisine, contrasting it with the artificial coloring and additives used in Chinese food. The blogger also pointed out hygiene issues in China, such as restaurants cooking while smoking and the use of gutter oil.
Misconduct in Japan
The video discusses instances of Chinese people behaving badly in Japan, including using fake Taiwanese driver's licenses and catching large quantities of cicadas in parks. Two Chinese nationals were arrested for using counterfeit Taiwanese licenses to apply for Japanese driver's licenses, as it's easier to convert a Taiwanese license than a Chinese one. Additionally, Chinese tourists have been catching so many cicadas that they are almost wiping them out, despite cicadas being an important part of Japanese summer culture.
Sampling Food and Historical Context
The video shows a Chinese person in a Japanese fruit shop repeatedly using the same toothpick to sample grapes, despite being asked to use a new one, leading the staff to cover the fruit to prevent contamination. Mr. Lee, a Malaysian resident, attributes the decline in Chinese moral behaviour to the Communist Party's influence, which he says destroyed traditional Chinese values and promoted self-interest and aggressiveness.
