I took a girl to a restaurant and she pulled the same thing. Treated the wait staff like crap and was just nasty. I Did not finish the meal. I payed and told her I'm out. Find a ride home. And did it in front of the staff. Best thing I ever did.

I'm with you, Winston. During my nearly 20 years in China, many rich people warned me about poor people - that they would cheat me if I treated them fairly. I found quite the reverse. Most rich people I knew were always cheating - almost like a sport or pathological compulsion. And the poor - like bike repair guys would often do little things for free! One time I actually haggled with a bike repairman - except I was pushing the price up and he was pushing it down!!

Because this is weird. Chinese people actually believe poor people are morally bad and rich people are nice and innocent....although u do kinda here similar rhetoric in the states but less obvious and no one will actually admit that when asked to think about it .but China literally think poor people are bad .
Rich Chinese find no value in the labor of poor . We know that the bargen culture is really high in China. Everything is negotiable but the Rich will actually think these poor people are bad because they even think to desire a fair shake . It's crazy ,and on top of all that no tip lol cuz they not a tipping culture well kinda .give a red packet with less than 1rmb lol

Imo, people handling your food can spit, pee, or even spike something poisonous if they wanted to spite you. Being rude achieves nothing but giving them a reason to do so

Damn straight. I worked at a Taco Bell in high school and there were three sisters they were older Hispanic ladies and they played zero games with peoples attitudes. And what they would do to the burritos of assholes almost makes you wish they just spit in it cause with saliva at least you can rest easy it’s basically water….but when you pop a zit into something, even though it’s minuscule in comparison to the amount of spit you could produce on command there is something about the solid nature of puss and compared to the more liquid state of saliva. And there is no knowing. At the drive through Mexican joint down the road from this Taco Bell I worked at they ended up on the news cause some employee was ejaculating into people burritos and yea that’s disgusting but I’ve wondered the past 10 years how that man was able to produce so much semen and how he got away with Uhm 😶 manufacturing(?) it.
China turned me into the worst possible version of myself when I lived there. You can't be nice. You just can't. The whole environment pushes you to disregard, and in my case, just despise everyone else. Hold a door for someone? As you said, everyone just takes advantage. You're the doorman now, and no one even thanks you. Need to get off the bus or the train because you're coming on your stop? No amount of polite asking will get anyone to move and inch. You have to start shoving people if you don't want to miss your stop. And that's just basic navigation. Never mind the constant scams people are trying to pull, or the terrible food safety.
@@threegenders201 - if you are asking a question than RabaDeuce had the answer. There needs to a a whole system (government) change for this to turn around.
I had a similar experience in Thailand while dating a girl from a wealthy family who was Thai-Chinese. She spoke perfect English and was beautiful, kind, and sweet (to me at least) and we got on great. She could have bought and sold me ten times over but it didn't seem to bother her and I really liked her until spending a few days in her hometown, Hat Yai. The way she treated people and her attitudes towards the poor really turned me off and it was embarrassing for me at times. We would pull up at a restaurant in her Mercedes and she would immediately get on the horn, demanding staff come outside and organise for other people to move their cars so we could park. She was just so abusive I couldn't believe it. One night we walked into a crowded bar and she started yelling at the staff, demanding they find a table for us and eventually a table full of locals were moved away so we could sit down; I was too embarrassed to make eye contact with anyone. Another time she had to pick something up for her father from a local factory. She pulls up next to the security booth and started yelling at the guard, and eventually after several trips back and forth the guard had delivered a bunch of small packages. I asked her why not just bring it all at once and she told me that she only asked for the items one at a time because people like him are too stupid to remember two things at once. The final nail in the coffin came when we were driving past some small rubber plantations. She explained to me that local farmers - at the time at least - were getting really good money for rubber and pointed out new houses they were living in and the nice cars they were driving. I thought that's great for the farmers, but it definitely wasn't an attitude shared by her. She explained to me how wrong it was that these, stupid, uneducated, lazy farm people could earn a good living, which made it difficult for her family to find enough workers for their factories, so they now had to offer better wages and conditions. She was utterly disgusted by these people making a good living. She really seemed to view them as human trash who only existed to benefit the wealthy.

Bullying service people is really one of the most disgusting things someone can do, in my opinion. It really shows someone's character, how they treat someone that they have power over.
It's half the reason they have zero shame in re-using sewer oil etc getting one over on the gullible rich that visit them. that and lack of resources to get fresh of course but their delight when serving some asshat rotten food must give them pleasure lol

Here in the Philippines, there was this Chinese woman who went viral and got into local news years ago due to what she did. In our country eating food at the platforms and inside a our metro trains is not allowed. The Chinese girl at the time was carrying and eating Taho(a warm Tofu like snack) while entering the platform. A guard told her it was not allowed, the Chinese girl in rage threw the Taho at the guard. To make the long story short, due to what she did she was deported and ban from entering the country.
@trumpisthemessiah7017actually most black people act polite. My son is 3 and loves to say hello to people the people who ignore him the most is white people. Most other races say hello back not the white adults or children
I'm guessing there is a very good reason for that rule: if food were allowed, some would accidently spill, and that would be food for rats so they'd be a bigger problem. (I have a relative in New York City. Rats are a big problem. Just look at Trump :-) )
OMG! This is so true! My first visit to Shenzhen. My sister in law was nearly nine months pregnant at the time. We were waiting for the train to arrive. She told me, "Stand right there on the platform, and when the door opens you rush in and grab me a seat". At that moment I was actually standing at the platform, first in line thinking I got this. By the time the train pulled up, I was surrounded by pushing and shoving Chinese people of all genders and ages, pushing and jostling for position. Old ladies were trying to crowd me out. When the door finally did open up, it was tons worse than any Wal-mart Black Friday sale I had ever seen. I am not a small guy, yet those little people around me were friggin animals. They pushed me around like a little kid. And I didnt get a seat for her. Every person on that car (and it was packed full) noticed a pregnant women standing there, and could give two shits about. So after that, on the next train ride back to Hong Kong, same thing going in. Only this time I was bad ass Dick Butkus. I pushed and elbowed a clear path for her and got her a seat. I would hate to have to live my life that way. So long China, I have never been back.
Their One Child policy and the accompanying "family planning by violence" has seen the rise of a couple of generations who dont see human life as valuable. That scares the shit out of me.
I work in the service industry in America, I clean carpets in high end office buildings, I'm in the offices of CEOs and executives every night, sometimes they work late and I run into them. I have had amazing conversations with these people. They make 10 times my salary and they ask me about myself, my hobbies, if I like my job, if my pay is enough, they want to know if my company treats it's people well, and they are always appreciative of my work. They always thank me and most of them shake my hand no matter how dirty it is. I never feel like I'm lesser. Most people in America view each other as equal even if they make more and drive a nicer car. I used to do outside sales at my company and would network and go to luncheons and dinner parties all the time with wealthy executives and they were always so nice to the waiters and restaurant staff, they always left huge tips. And these are the supposed evil capitalists that look down on the working class
@@ithecastic virtue signaling normally involves genuflecting around a group of like minded peers. These conversations happen later in the evening while the executive is working late and nobody else is around. Most of them started as entry level employees and slowly worked their way up. Also most of these people are Republicans so I doubt they do much virtue signaling
As an American I get so pissed seeing people mistreat others in the service industry. I don't work in it myself because I know what its like but I still respect them.
'i dont work in it myself because i know what its like' well consider yourself lucky then. That's called privilege. Most people working food service have no choice. Under capitalism you work or you die, no matter how demeaning/degrading the work is. The united states is nauseating. People wonder why so many amerikans snap and shoot up schools, it's the exact same reason chinese snap and stab school children. capitalism in every form will lead to this and worse levels of societal decay. once you're pushed around enough, you push back, much harder.
Service sector, blue collar and other physical work like emergency services and the military is probably the only type of work I have explicit respect for. Anything that's hard on the body deserves credit, bonus points if it's stressful on the mind as well, then you're an absolute machine for doing it.
I agree 100%. I married into a family in which my husband grew up sleeping in one bed with 5 people in a house with a single room. They were humble back then. Fast forward 13 years from 1990 to 2003. They were now nuevo rich. They suddenly felt just fine treating workers horribly. It was awful. I was so embarrassed traveling around with them. I kept thinking: Have you forgotten where you came from? I guess so.
That's what we call in french "parvenus" it's a word to qualify that exact behaviour. People who are happy to put down others once they themselves have success. And often, those who act like this have succeded out of luck, not because they have talent or worked hard. Those who have talent are often humble.
@@xminusone1 This is one of the few people I have seen who is more objective, analyzing people's experiences or mentality changes, rather than a specific race.
I think it is also how they were raised and how one has perspective of the world too. My family been through lots of up and down in my country. Then when we moved to the U.S. We started all over but we always stay humble and know our root. Funny enough, we never want to dress stand out or deman for expensive food and eat whatever convenient to the family. But even our own families there judge d us saying how come we are not fancy and not dressing well like they are. Said if it were them, they wouldn't eat what we eat 🤣. We just said we mind eating simple food bec we dont want to demand much and make it easy for people. Hah!
I have seen many poor people who have become suddenly rich forget their past. Probably they think money is most important to do what you want to do in life and so tried to make money by taking advantage of others so they still do not care or take into consideration for others. The problem here with Myanmar generals who are now taking the leadership positions are the same too. Since they are rankers rising from privates, when they get power they mistreat their own staff because this is how they were treated before becoming to that level. When they get top leadership role, they think they are small god or kings and want people to worship them.
@@jamperTotal in china it does. In Australia you can't tell the people worth 65 million from anyone else. I know several millionaires and some are relatives. One relative knows a guy worth at least 65 million likely more and said you'd never realise. There's actually PILES of stories here of people worth millions getting kicked out of BMW dealerships. One guy and his brother owned huge coal mines. They wouldn't let him sit in a small BMW and kicked him out basically calling him poor because of how he was dressed. His and his brothers mines were valued that year for tax reasons. 274 million dollars.
@@traqnsavov822 - it really depends on the culture. Japanese ppl don’t do this. It’s gotten worse in Korea but Korean ppl aren’t normally like this either. This is very similar to a caste system like India where ppl of lower classes are treated like dirt.
@Cheng-Tso Hsieh Really? Care to provide some reference to those claims? The only complain I have would be bad traffic and road rage. But in daily life, it's day and night compare to China.

And who on the world would trust a Chinese "Online reports"? Don't you know Chinese censorship?
2 experiences of dealing with Rich Chinese. My mother being assistant director at Eurotunnel and some high profile Chinese execs turning up - behaved like exclusive VIP and expecting nothing but Chinese food and be served. Me being assistant director for a summer school, and them rich Chinese kids and their assistants expecting full Chinese food catering and be treated like royalty - they had to be put back in their place, told they were students exactly like the other students, blend in if you don't like it, leave and go back to your country.
Here in Vegas I was working at a women's clothing store called Bebe in a tourist heavy area and was ringing up this Chinese tourist. Time to pay she threw the money in my face, I calmly picked up her money bill by bill and folded it neatly, walked to the entrance door and threw her money out into the crowd. Walked back up to her and told her she can leave now. Played out about as well as you think lol, manager wasn't in that day so amazingly I didn't get fired but it was a seasonal job so I was only there other week anyways lol.
You could find that same class thinking in communist Germany. There, it was less about money, but about your position in the party and who you knew. It's all about power.
Which is why people say they're not really communist at all, they're more like a State-Capitalism thing going on, where the government owns the means of production and pretends they're distributing wealth.
I’m an American living in Thailand for the last 4-5 years. This is my second time living near Bangkok and I spent a year teaching in Seoul. Your videos are fascinating to me as I am a California licensed teacher who has taught online to Chinese students and been offered several very high paying positions in China. I’ve been intrigued, but always had a red flag in my mind about China. Thailand and Korea have similar cultural issues, many seem to be influenced by China. Yet, your stories make me really hesitant to consider China as a work option. Foreign teachers may not be paid as well here in Thailand, but the lifestyle seems much more laid back than the nonsense you describe happening in China. Being an immigrant is always a challenge and at times frustrating, no matter where you’re from or where you are, but China just seems to be a non-stop chore.
My sentiments EXACTLY!! I was going to teach in China, I mean complete with closing my business down at the end of the year and basically moving my whole world and life from US to China. This has completely changed my plans, because I know me, and between this and the spitting and the bumrushing masses, it's a no-go on that. My business and clients are happy that I am staying, though. I like my kindness, compassion, and lovely personality, I do not want it to change because I move to another country voluntarily. Hard pass. Good luck to you, though, teaching.
If I may ask, who site/resource did use to teach English online? I find myself in need of a job and I would also like to see how I do in that specific role before making the move to another country to do that. Thank you for your time.
I have a close friend that married a woman that Immigrated to the USA from Japan. He was on a visit with her back to Japan and encountered Chinese tourists while shopping. Several of these tourists attempted to cut in a long line to pay for items. The Japanese shoppers were allowing it as if it was normal. My friend is a typical New Yorker from Staten Island. Needless to say, the Chinese tourists were placed back in line. His wife told him later this was a normal experience and that the average Japanese have an acute disdain for Chinese tourists. She also stated that it was very normal for the wealthier Chinese to come to Japan to shop because they were seeking items in Japan that could only be bought in China as counterfeits.
I have seen worse behaviour with people from other cultural background especially from the West. There dressed inappropriately. Lots of drunkards fighting in the streets, threatening innocent bystanders and you don't feel safe without fearing getting mugged.
@@carolflower8015 When I was a lowly shop girl, we had a group of Japanese men that would come in about twice a year. They would run me ragged, back and forth... and sometimes just stop in the middle of the store right in front of me, just to make me walk around them. They were terribly rude and quite sexist.
My friend told me an old Chinese woman walked up her driveway into her yard and picked tomatoes off her plants. I saw one in Walmart take a whole ream of plastic bags off the register turnstile that the worker had just placed there and walk towards the exit. They had to run after her and stop her. It's like they're under the impression that their behavior is acceptable and if no one stops them they do what they want.
Hence why most public toilets don't have toilet rolls inside; you've got to take your own. And in some places, you've got to scan a QR code with your phone to get a limited supply from a dispenser.
That's literally it. They have no manners. They do not care about anyone else around them. I was just at the DMV in California two days ago and there was three lines to get in. A line for people with appointments, a line for no appointments, and a line for vehicle registrations only. Chinese mother and son came in and looked around.... And then just pushed their way all the way to the front of the line and the woman told the DMV person they were here for his driving test. The DMV lady told her Appointment? And she said no. The DMV person told her to go to the back of the blue line. The Chinese woman looked back, walked like three steps back with her son and just started trying to squeeze in the line and hahahahahahahah this sassy old black lady IMMEDIATELY said "UHHHHH HELLLLL NAAAAAAWWWW YOU GOTTA GO TO THE BACK, NOWWWWW!" and the Chinese lady just looked at her and turned back around BAHAHAHAHAH there's no way in hell that Chinese woman didn't know that what she was attempting to do was messed up, at the very least it should have been obvious to her, assuming she's been in this country for any length of time, HOW LINES WORK! I had no sympathy as she got yelled at by like ten different people because she wouldn't move and the DMV person finally had to intervene and went up to her and told her to get to the back of the blue line..... Well...... She saw the green line (vehicle registration) was WAAAY shorter so she got in that line. 😅 And at that moment the DMV person just looked over at the person in charge of registrations and told him DO NOT HELP THAT WOMAN SKIP THE LINE SHE'S PRETENDING TO BE DUMB OR SOMETHING 😂hahahahahahha had me dead and that's nothing, I recently went to Disneyland and in line for Space Mountain, a Chinese couple and their kids attempted to cut the line as well, just like nonchalantly trying to stand in front of people and they got yelled at, and then like ten minutes later the woman picks her kid up, PULLS HIS PANTS DOWN, AND SITS HIM ON A PLANTER AND THE KID STARTED TAKING A 💩 !!!!! BAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHHHHHHAAAAA needless to say, another sassy black lady saved the day she immediately got out of line and went and got security who pulled the couple and their children out of line and had a Disney crew member who spoke Chinese showed up quickly and had a full blown screaming match with the woman, it was soooooo bad but so funny
It was a culture shock for me when I had to take a business trip to Shanghai and I saw the wealth gap and this mistreatment of people. I described it to friends as a high-tech 3rd world. Ferraris dodging bikes. 50 story buildings with entire sides covered in LCD panels running video and at the base, dirty toothless women with babies begging for money. And I am not talking about a couple. I am talking about hundreds of them and everywhere. I was staying at a really nice hotel. I arrived late in the evening so I dumped my bags and went down to the bar. I sat at a table by myself and watched stunned as every table treated the waitress like absolute garbage. Half of the people there were from Japan so I thought maybe it was a racial thing. After a couple weeks there I realized it was a Class thing and what I had seen was local businessmen showing their clout in front of visiting businessmen from Japan. No matter where I went I saw people with money treating people 'below' them like dogs. Whether it was shopping or bars or restaurants, the more nicely someone was dressed, the more unbearable they were to anyone they were interacting with. Treatment of others was bad as well. As was mentioned, it is almost a necessity to set aside a part of your humanity in order to function there. You have to push your way on or off subways or buses or you will never get anywhere. No holding doors for people. I held an elevator door for a woman and six more people pushed in. I had to take the next elevator and they didn't care. You have to be aggressive standing in line anywhere or people will just push in front of you. It was really sad. I loved getting to see the old gardens and ancient temples. However, once my business there was done, there was never a place that I have been more happy to leave.
Dude the CCP has wrecked China by ripping out traditional Chinese spirituality and morality, which is actually extremely sophisticated and beautiful. I have studied Taoism and I love it, it is amazing. But the chinese communist party wants immoral greedy atheists who worship them/"the party". If you really do a deep dive, communism and cultural marxism has its roots in satanism. Satanism is a very real but occult/hidden spiritual movement and core tenet of it is "the ends jystify the means", ie: do what it takes to get what you want and also "radical selfishness". In addition, if life is meaningless, there is no karma and no god, what does it matter if you are a terrible person? You can be a total demon and there is no penalty so why not? I do not believe this and acrually god is real, karma is real and life has meaning ... but you see how this bad collective spiritual software creates such an animalistic "dog eat dog" society. To learn more see Mark Passio's detailled breakdowns of satanism teachings and mind control:
Dude it's bizarre. Asia is so materialistic these days and in China's case, straight up satanic. Meanwhile the West is - overall - becoming more spiritual in comparison and things like yoga, meditation, 'karma' and taoism have literally never been more popular. Much of this stuff originated in Asia, where it is increasingly being abandoned 🙄🤦♂️🤷♂️
@J Best Two things here - First, You have completely missed the point of Winston's video and message. The message is that no matter one's perceived 'social class' or status, we should treat each other with respect and dignity. This has absolutely zero bearing on a so called 'maturity level' of an economy and/or anything to do with any type of 'wealth gap'. And nothing to do with country/nationality. Second, You used this 'new growing economy' and needing time to close the 'gap' schtick as an excuse for the Chinese behavior depicted. And that is Lame. Not only that, you didn't stop there. You took it even a step further. Feeding-off that to roll tight into a 'whataboutism' aimed at the US. You think you're slick and crafty, but you're not. Nice try Clown.
I agree with you 100%. I lived in China for 15 years and it sickened me to see the service workers treated poorly. I always engaged them. Loved speaking with them. Never saw them as less than me.
Okay this makes COMPLETE sense to me. I used to work in a grocery store here in the UK, and Chinese students would very often just walk straight into me and genuinely make my job more difficult than it would already be for seemingly no reason. I wont lie, I felt guilty that I was stereotyping, but it was every single person who would shop in my store. This video contextualizes my experience perfectly
My first exposure was a Turkish restaurant close to the Chinese embassy in Berlin. Sometimes you would see what I guess were embassy staff walk in, demanding to be able to inspect the grilled chickens just to then comment loudly in front of everyone that the quality was not to their standards and they left. When I was younger things like this puzzled me ... then I went to China... I have to add though that a two year stay in Hong Kong also taught me that you shouldn't really generalise. There were worlds in between Hong Kong and Shenzhen ....
I worked at Sydney Univercity where Chinese studentsfrom China are the majority of students & I have to say I was shocked at their bad behaviour, the level of rudeness was astounding.
I was in highschool and most of the female Chinese foreign exchange students were nice. Some of the Chinese boys though were rude and thought we were stupid. Not all of them, but some
I've been told that a substantial amount of Chinese students in Australia are there because they couldn't get into a Beijing Uni and instead of being seen sending their child to a 'lesser' uni their wealthy parents send them to a foreign western uni which holds its own kind of prestige regardless of the uni itself.
It's "MORALITY" and how your family raised you. Humble, self respect and treat everyone equal. Im no better than anybody, my family just raised me the right way. Thank you for bringing this topic.
This explains so much. I don’t know if you’ve ever been on a (European or American) cruise, but the Chinese guests will push past queues, jump in the elevator you’ve been waiting for, take waaaay too much food at the buffet etc. It’s deeply unpleasant.
I often go to Cancun. The Chinese people totally fill their plates with food overflowing and take like 5 desserts and their small children go to the buffet by themselves and do the same. Then after eating maybe 25% of what they take, they get up and walk out. It all goes in the trash. They are oblivious.
@@ChickensAndGardening Is no excuse not having a religion that you don't know right from wrong. I am agnostic and did not grew up in a religious environment, but I know right from wrong, what is ethical and being respectful.
Years ago I went with a Chinese girlfriend to Sears to help her find some furniture but no one was manning that area so I had to go find someone to help. After a bit of a wait someone finally came and I thought great, now we can get on with ordering what she wanted, but instead my girlfriend proceeded to lecture this low level employee for 15 minutes about our having to wait and the store not having the area manned. It dawned on me that if she treated this person this way, it was only a matter of time before she did the same to me.
I don't get why some people can't just think that there may be a staff shortage or that staff are busy. It's not just some Chinese people, there's that bad and entitled behavior in every country. There's a video about what the Dutch think of Americans. And some people, including some Americans, stereotype Americans as rude too. Such as some American tourists expecting the world to know English. The reverse happens too. Some migrants to English speaking countries expected people to know their language too.

My Chinese wife kind of warned me of the lack of manners in China before I visited. It was astounding. For instance, one thing I didn't know at the time and it really hit home was that, If somebody stops in the street in the UK, people will politely queue behind them. It's a very British thing. Something Brits are proud of. But in China, Queue at your peril. They simply don't know the meaning. First come, first serve. Push, shove, i'm before you. I felt that no one was aware of or had any respect for anyone else around them. The other thing was shouting "Foreigner!" (in chinese) at the top of their voices whenever I was spotted in a street. Something i've never experienced or ever done myself in any other country i've visited. Really strange and slightly annoying. As for the "wealth is power" thing. I have seen that a lot in a few different places. People just act like dicks because what else have they got to worry about. But generally, it is curbed in the west as 3rd parties tend to step in and give them a good hiding for behaviour like that. No longer does the "Do you know who I am?" thing work with these people because they could potentially be eating fist before the sentence is over. Disrespecting people of lower financial standing is just disgusting and scummy. Maybe that doesn't happen in the east.
@@faye891 I once told my wife i'd be prepared to live in China when I retired. I've since redacted that statement. I was in North east China. Majority of Chinese people are good (I guess much like any other country) but I was married there and a policeman was assigned to me. I was never told this would happen. I found the food to be a real mixed bag. Building Health and safety was non-existent during construction. No international internet. Government personnel were A-holes and totally unhelpful. Zero wildlife. No modern headache tablets! The local pharmacy told me to drink an infusion of some herbal rubbish and if it didn't cure my headache in 10 days, return and try something else. I really expected a few thousand years of amazing history but it felt very eastern european. It was an amazing adventure but not one i'd care to repeat. It just felt like a huge backward step.
@@sneakygloworm I will NEVER visit China until they start educating the children basic manners, overthrow the CCP that thrives on corruption and insatiable power grabbing, and all-for-myself mentality.
@@shsu7426 It's strange and sad isn't it. These problems probably start with children's education and stick with them their whole lives because they don't know any better. Without labelling (and being to harsh to the average Chinese citizen) one might call them Uncivilised. But I feel that is because they simply have next to zero outside influence so it ends up in a self sustaining loop of weird and awkward behaviour to many people outside, looking in. What I find very odd is that just across the water in Japan, the absolute polar opposite in social behaviour occurred. As far as manners and etiquette go, I found Japan to be the most advanced on the planet in that respect. And I truly felt that if I could, i'd move to Japan with all of it's cultural complexities. Kind of my soul-country. My Chinese mother-in-law was amazed at the freedom our son had. She said in China, children are made to study dawn to dusk every day. And I can imagine it would mostly be false information about the west and how great Mao was. China is like the weird man that locks all the children in the cellar and tells them the world has ended.
We saw a waitress crying the other night when my husband and I went out to eat. She didn’t want to tell us what happened but finally (after we bugged her) we found out that the rowdy guys that had been sitting close to us had skipped out on their bill plus they had harassed her the whole time they were there. She said her boss would take the cost of their meal out of her paycheck. My husband went and paid those guys check and gave her a tip on top of it. She was astonished that we did that but I have been a waitress when I was younger and in college. I hated it. It was the most thankless job I’ve ever had in my life. I know there are so many waiter’s and waitresses that are good at their job and love it but I absolutely hated it. We did that for the waitress because we wanted her to know that there are awful people in the world but there are also kind, decent people. I don’t care how much money I have I will never treat anyone less than. Not the janitor at the school and not the waitress in a sports bar. You should treat others with dignity unless they mistreat you or someone else. That lady crying at the car broke my heart. I wish I could give her a hug and tell her not everyone is hateful like that.
@Sheepdog9 Yes, I am. I cannot stand people using incorrect wording. It makes me feel "less than." The one thing you must never, ever do - in this modern world - is make someone feel "less than."
@@Infodumptruck at least You can say 'Was' now.. Hope You got what You needed out of it tho!.. I don't understand this kind of open disrespect for People..Makes Me sick tbh.
I was disappointed with how my Uncle treated people in China during his tourist trips, he was told due to the fact he has millions of dollars. That he can freely treat the civilians with the worst attitude, yet receive no consequences about it. He recorded videos of himself disrespecting rural villagers, elders, homeless people & shop owners, etc. I seen a side of him I wish I knew about a lot sooner, he bragged about how satisfying it was to assert his dominance. It's heartbreaking.
I'm so sorry. I'm happy to hear you don't share those kinds of horrible traits. He sounds like someone to stay away from all together. Sucks you can't choose your family, I have some relatives like this as well. Shame on all these people talking down to and treating others as less. Pompous assholes
I live in Las Vegas and there were a group of chinese people in front of the Mirage Casino Hotel. They pushed themselves through to the fence where the volcano goes off (with flames )and just ignored me and my family like we were not even there. They seem to have no awareness of others and only cared about themselves.
Most of them are CCP agents, get ready when they take over America and our police force protects them over us. Americans will be arrested by their police so China is able to take us over. Look at Covid and cops arrest church goers and restaurant owners. Sad times.
Yeah. Sounds about right. Tell you what, it’s even more likely for them to do that to their fellow Chinese people abroad, because it’s somewhat easier for them to push around fellow Chinese people than Americans. I was at Flamingo hotel eating my fish & chips meal on a patio. It was pretty busy, and a group of Chinese tourists just surrounded my table and shout around each other about my order of food, how much does it cost, how soon will I leave, etc. They want a table, but they don’t dare to invade the space of any American tourists, they think I am an easier target and it’s easier this way to annoy me off so they can have my table. So I finished my meal, and I intentionally spread the residues to the table and the ground. They grab my chair even before I left the table, and I watched from a distance of seagulls constantly bothering them by picking up residues 😂
I’m from China. There were always old ladies picking up cardboard everywhere. Horrible feeling, to need to respect your elders but there’s old ladies picking up trash as if they were invisible!
@@midnightteapot5633 Same here - even though Taiwan is as much of a capitalist society as China, you will see that people there have not lost their ways the same way I experienced in Shenzhen -> although I have to stress that Shenzhen seems to be one of the worst examples in China. I've never experienced that level of rudeness in other parts of the country.
Yeah, Taiwan rules! I was raised in North America, but born in Taiwan. Went back to Taiwan as an adult for the first time since I was an infant a few years ago, and wow, such a great experience and the people are kind and definitely different than everything I read about people from mainland China. Unfortunately, my grandma would act fairly entitled and would treat servers pretty horribly.
me and my brother almost knocked down a Chinese family over seas on holiday. we where waiting in a line to get breakfast and they just came out of no wear and sort of shoved us aside and started being super rude. it caught us off guard because we never seen anything like that before and the way they talked to the breakfast guy pissed me off but unfortunately for them they are all like 4ft3. so the next day me and my brother waited for them and did what they did the day before but almost shoved them to the floor then gave them a look of disgust and tipped the guy serving breakfast and apologised to him but it seemed to make him smile but the look on that family's face ill never forget.
So right with your comments. The amount of wealthy Chinese who have been buying up here and taking over suburbs and living life as if it was still China; absolute arrogance / pompousness of these people is overpowering the Aussie spirit of welcoming, tolerance and giving everybody a chance. We are losing our identity because of a lot of these rich immigrants coming here in hoardes continuing the horrendous behaviours from their cultural background (and not just the Chinese, I might add)....
Yeah same here in UK too, don't wanna sound bigot, but I guess we have a religious problem now, people from lslamic nations like Pakistan, North African and some Arab states come here with their ludicrous and backward mentality, ghetto-fying places, grooming little girls, making sure to degrade the Christian culture.
I was working in Egypt about 4 or 5 years ago going to new dig sites to get archaeological experience for my under grad. While I had some time off I went to the valley of the kings to experience the gorgeous tombs cut into the rock. While I was there I saw a Chinese man reach up and pick some of the paint off the wall of a 3,000 year old tomb. I just about lost my mind. I dragged him out of the tomb threw him in the sand and started screaming at him about what he was doing. The guards came over and I explained to them and they kicked him out but the whole time it’s like this guy had no clue what he was doing wrong. HE WAS DESTROYING HISTORY and he said “I just wanted to know if it was real” it’s just unbelievable
Nice one.. Was a Paris Airport and these 2 Chinese suits deliberately jumped the queue bit by bit. We all watched as they rudely nipped in. But polite westerners observed but action at Airport security was not what the wise wanted. So. Observed them later at duty free with bags of fags and booze. Big smiles of triumph. I felt sorry for them. Seriously sorry. They also made me think about things a lot deeper. Thanks to the Chinese 😊
From 1998 to 2001 I made several week to a couple months long trips to China for my job. I was testing software and computer systems that my company sold to Chinese oil companies and installed on site. The oil company execs had several banquets for us celebrating progress milestones during our work. I noticed the rude way waitresses and other low level workers were treated. The waitress were never thanked, even though they were very good at their jobs. I always said thank you in my best "cher shi" or "xi xer" Mandarin I could muster. I even spoke to them by their names when I could. I noticed the locals, especially the oil company officials, noticing my politeness. One of my American colleagues gave me a "stop that" look several times. I could tell the waitresses appreciated it because they were more cheerful around me than they were around the Chinese. The oil co. employees attempted to take turns "being polite" with me by going one-on-one with the toasts, "Ganbei". I don't remember the name of the liquor, but it was clear and to me it tasted like kerosene. I turned my shot glass upside down so that it would only hold a small amount of liquor in the concave well on the bottom. They told the waitress to turn it over before filling it. They were trying to get me drunk. She filled only the bottom well as I asked. I had already witnessed this one-on-one trick being used to get my colleagues very drunk. I held my ground and did not buy into their game. At the end of this particular banquet I spoke to one of the English speaking waitresses. I proposed a toast to the waitresses and cooks and invited all of the waitresses to participate (all at once). I took a full shot this time for them. The waitresses were very happy to have been included. To my surprise, and even more so to my colleagues' surprise, the Chinese (CCP members) oil company officials seemed to admire my gumption as they treated me with great respect later.
@@backoff333 they wouldn't necessarily be, "you know what," just because there's an extra polite American. It's the right thing to show graciousness and kindness to others. Always.
A buddy of mine married a women from China. My buddy basically had to break her of that poor attitude she had towards service workers. It was seriously like he was breaking a wild horse. She had to learn a whole new mindset. It was a struggle for her but she eventually came around and she is a great person now.
@@lloydbond13as a western woman it doesn't help that so many of my gender have this attiude of I am strong independent woman who can open my own doors can do things for myself & need zero help from a man which in turn causes de masculine men and making shit hard for them. I feel like I am a rarity because I like things old school sure I can do things for myself even pay for my own dinner but I like being treated like a lady and having man feel like a man and be the man he is supposed to be but nope that concept is top hard to understand for the western woman which is leading men to find wives over seas unfortunately..
@@mercedesvelasquez8781ok hon, no need to be a pick me 😂 too many women died and sacrificed their safety and freedom just so you can say “i love being traditional. All women should be traditional 🥴” No hun, the problem is that women now have the right and freedom to choose who and if they love a man and marry him. They’re no longer forced to marry in arranged marriages or forced to marry because as single women they have no rights. And that’s a fantastic, wonderful thing.
I wanted to give that first woman at the gas station a big hug 😣. I hope that those cruel people find themselves on the other side of their inhuman treatment one day.
I used to go regularly to a Chinese warehouse/store here in the UK ,and the staff were very nice and polite. Slowly over the years I saw a shift in the Chinese staffs attitude towards the English customers (Their business was mostly wholesale to take- away restaurants) So I stopped going. But recently a friend asked about it as she had never been, so I took her and OMG I have never felt so uncomfortable. We were totally ignored at the fish counter until we just gave up and moved away, then my friend asked another staff member a question and he gave a very curt and unhelpful reply...then called out very loudly (In Chinese) to another member of staff who looked at us and burst out laughing. It was horrendous and I will NEVER, NEVER step foot in that place again.........even if I was starving!!
Same thing happened to me and a friend from Germany in San Fran. We went for a bite to in in a small local restaurant. We walked in and a few workers were sitting at a table chopping food others walking around. No one acknowledged us at all. Not to say, 'we are not open, or we are on lunch please come back'. Nothing. They just looked at us like we were ghost or a look of hostility. I was so embarrassed. My German friend brings it up all the time. I should have yelped a bad review but to be honest I was in shock, and still am.
How come you all don’t call out the bullshit and stop it. It’s your country! What’s wrong with whites these days? You all created or enhanced , and you all are receiving bad customer service!
@@lacommentaire141 Your comment seems to imply that I treated them like dirt and now the rolls are reversed. Which is incredibly presumptuous of you. We live in a multi cultural society so we are all used to interacting with many nationalities, and I go in shops and stores for commercial transactions not to make friends or be treated like royalty, but I do give and expect to receive basic politeness and common courtesy.
That is something you have to be taught wherever you may live in the world. Many give in to hive mind or societal pressures. Look what just happened to us all recently. I saw the ugly side & saw how mind control works on people. Now I know how Germany happened.
That is a fairly common judeo christian belief combined with western ideology. Not as common in other parts of the world with a more authoritarian or hierarchal belief.
You have solved a mystery that has haunted me for over a decade. I live near Yellowstone national park, very popular among the chinese, and whenever we travel and stay at nearby hotels there inevitably are Chinese tourists staying as well. I have had chinese vacationers steal Belgian waffles many times at the free continental breakfasts. I had just assumed they're super rude people without western boundaries. I go through the trouble of filling a cup with batter and pouring it in the waffle iron only to have someone swoop in and take my waffle as the timer goes off, and before I can retrieve it. Has happened dozens of times and had me perplexed, it even became a joke among family and friends.
This makes me sad. I guess you have to stand there and guard your waffle, LOL. Have never heard of this before. Chinese people (both living in the U.S., in Taiwan, and PRC) have always been very decent and kind, in my experience.
Dude! Are you saying you were standing right in front of the waffle machine and they pushed you aside and took it? Or you mean you left it a bit, not guarding it& they took it. The latter is maybe they thought you worked there & just making it for people. Honest that was my 9 years old thought until later I stand corrected...Like who fills it and leave? I guess you can say those people were ignorant or rude ppl who cuts in fron of lines or cars in the freeway or cut in & take your parking spot. I hated those ppl. 'Tis life 🤷🏻♀️
When I enter the store I say "Hello" And when I leave the store I say "I wish you a good day" It's not hard to be a human and treat others as fellow humans
Any job where an individual is forced to interact with humanity constantly and on a regular basis throughout the day tends to get as much politeness and respect from me as I can give them. After all, chances are, they're already suffering a form of hell. Why add to it?
I saw the link to this video on my feed and found your channel. You are very well spoken and the video was highly informative. Thank you, I have subbed.

@@yadusolparterre Yes, USSR had socialism for over 70 years, China only for about 30 before it became just an excuse for authoritarian gov and that was 40 years ago.
That's because in the entire Eastern Bloc shop workers held a lot of power over what you could buy- bare shelves and very long queques did not apply to you if you've been nice to the shop lady (even better when you had something to barter). They've been treated like royalty fr
@@nineten9011lookup “Upheaval in the East; Moscow McDonald's Opens: Milkshakes and Human Kindness” for an article in 1990. Explains this exact issue in Russia. I was skeptical of the op’s comment but it’s true.
I love that you included the video where the Chinese tourists were removed from the hotel. I live in Sweden and read about the incident. Swedish people know absolutely nothing abut China. It wouldn't surprise me if half the population doesn't even know it's not a democracy. When swedish people saw the unruly people rejected from the hotel, they figured they might have been drunk or mentally ill and thought nothing of it. When the CCP warned citizens of traveling to sweden, the swedish people was so confused. Such a culture shock.
Most do know how bad China is. The approval, rating and trust in China is at its lowest point ever. The official China/CCP BS is not liked by Swedes. The Confucius institutes were closed by Sweden, hardly any kids want to learn Mandarin in school anymore, there’s countless of articles in the media almost daily since many years about all the shit and threats China is doing. China and it’s embassy in Stockholm has threatened Swedish journalists and that is a matter of national security. The case of Gui Minhai (Chinese: 桂民海), the Chinese-born Swedish book publisher and writer who was kidnapped in Thailand by the CCP in 2015 and is kept in some dungeon in China, is an other huge beef Sweden has with China. Even the police in the short clip were laughing because the Chinese people acted so ridiculous, the Chinese turned up the wrong day and the hotel or hostel had to call the police because they refused to leave.
Yea not exaggerating at all.. I remember that incident very clearly and we had a good laugh about it for a month. Most people know about China, it's just that swedes are lazy and don't wanna be bothered by that dump. The incident was covered on svenska nyheter aswell where they ran an analysis on what was going on. Before that there were talks about whether we should include Taiwan on their maps or not and that was also a joke for a while. Stop generalizing.
Swedish people are so friendly. I used to date a Swedish lady. Even police officers are so friendly. Haha some stunning pretty hot female police officers in Sweden. You almost feel “lucky” to get handcuffed by hot Swedish police. 😂😂😂 You should travel to Taiwan. I find Taiwanese people are also very friendly. I think it is the long term bully and suppression by communist CCP that’s why rich Chinese are so rude. Because you need to be rude and bully to become rich in China. You only need to put up a fake smile to your boss to get promoted. Seriously it is a pyramid scam. You need to bully and push your competitors out to reach to the top of pyramid.
The supermarket where I lived once had corn on sale at a very low price. They had to have been losing money on it. When I walked into the supermarket, I immediately saw a large crowd of Chinese people surrounding a large box of corn. They were pealing the husks off and throwing them on the floor. That was so that the corn weighed less and they saved a few pennies. It was such a disgusting site, that I just left the supermarket and went to another one.
The price for that behavior in a western country is that everyone will see you as that outcast village idiot. And it's definitely not worth the price of a few corn husks. That a group of ordinary Chinese are shamelessly trying to save a few pennies in that way is scary.
Those fools. The husk makes the corn taste better if you grill it with the husk on. lol I guess if that's not how they plan to cook it, I can understand removing the husk before buying, but throwing it on the floor is just uncouth and should frankly get them kicked out.
It's so sad. My heart pains me to see the treatment of less fortunate humans like this. You have done a fine analysis of why the rich behave the way they do in China with those that have less money. We need to think of each other more collectively as one 😢
As someone who worked in the service industry during Covid-19 it was a little ray of freedom. First time ever I was able to tell rude customers that they could eff off and when they complained to corporate the managers did nothing because they were desperate for workers! It was a magical time.
I don’t even work in the service industry, and I wish service workers could treat customers exactly how the customers are treating the workers. Hearing stories like this makes my day.
@@user-gu9yq5sj7c I have never once talked down to anyone in the service industry. It’s not vengeance, it’s treating people the same way they treat you. Equality.
This is why as Chinese-American, I always try to be as kind and polite as possible to anyone up front, so they don't assume I'm the same kind of rude, badly educated(in etiquette), loud and annoying tourist group that gives all Chinese people a bad rep.
Actually that rings true in my experience. I took a Chinese friend to nice, hip restaurant in New York to show her an authentic local spot. She had a very expensive camera she wanted to show off, and started taking pics of people, got up and totally invaded their privacy. When a waitress politely told her to stop, she all but screamed at her, like yelling at a dog, insisting she can do what she wants. Pretty embarrassing! Luckily it was not a date. I was just helping a friend out, who had this person visiting from China…
I use to go to an Irish pub in Germany. The bartender is an Irish guy. One evening there was two rude Germans talking bs for a while and then complained why the bartender was speaking English in an Irish pup… I got to their table and said if they not go now willingly I will force them to leave. The bartender said to me that he used to hate Germans but with me he will make an exception😅
This was definitely something I experienced in China. Especially as a foreigner, they assume you have money...and certainly by comparison, even as a broke college student, I did... I experienced a lot of friendly, and genuinely kind service, especially buying street food and produce. But the staggering poverty is everywhere. My heart goes out to the gas attendant. 💔
So what would happen if someone retaliated against that behavior? Like what if the driver of the car behind got out, walked up to the window of the lead car, ripped the guy out of and began mercilessly beating him?
Sorry to say it's a simular situation here in Australia with a lot of the Chinese nationals. I'm a tradie and fell in to working for a lot of Chinese, many of them were horrible and argue the price so I ended up just refusing the work, it wasn't worth the pain for me and my staff.
Unfortunately there are a hundred scum bags ready to be abused by these human trash cans for a buck . Until they are ostracised from society they will continue to treat their host country like shut .
I have caught on multiple occasions while working in my field, Indians vandalizing their utility meters to get free services. It never works and they always talk down to you. I have ran across my fair share of nice ones though.
That explains a lot of my college years…I wondered a lot why the Chinese exchange students were such assholes to everyone around campus and intentionally broke things in front of janitorial staff. The Chinese students born in the US were very embarrassed because some people associated them with the exchange students.
I'm sure you can guess that during my 10 years living and working in China I came across multiple examples of this It is endemic. I also noticed that it was mostly practiced among the nouveau rich classes or by those who wished to give the impression that they had money. My students at the university were at first astounded when I explained that the two most important words in English are " Please & Thankyou" as they are hardly used in Chinese and are especially missing when talking to someone considered inferior in status to one's self.
It's funny that you say that as please and thank you are two of the first words I taught my child. I've never thought about a society that wouldn't use good manners and social respect as a goal.
@@gladiammgtow4092 I've had great experiences living in Australia. The people I've worked with and become friends with are good, kind, fun people.

Amazing how China went through multiple genocides trying to wipe out their old class system and are still the same but with a Marixst killer running the entire show. Very sad. They need Christ.
When I arrived in China I would always be carefull when exiting a subway train (i'm a big guy and I am conscious of the space I use) but after a while I have had enough of rude people who would not let me go out before trying to enter the train so I started to just push back like a football player !
Yes I was being pushed and knocked at the subway stations in China. But I automatically always apologize due to habit and the other person would turn to look at me with surprise. When I related this experience at times in some videos, some Chinese would scold me
Spot on. Returned to the world after 8 yrs in CN. Having to re-acquire the basic manners I once had like holding doors, saying "bless you" when you sneeze, respecting the queue, etc.
@@serpentza Culture shock? I'm a hardened expat. It's a culture shock that lasts from the moment you arrive until the time you leave. The pandemic was just the ice cream with a cherry on top.
Bless you after sneezing is just a weird religious superstition which I find personally creepy and brings attention to someone just doing a natural bodily function, hence why people end up stifling their sneezes. Just let people sneeze.
I live in an area in Southern California with a very large number of Chinese immigrants and most of them need to make the effort to assimilate to American culture that every other group has always made in generations past. Unfortunately assimilation is not only not promoted for the obvious reasons regarding social cohesion, but many on the Left actually think assimilation is wrong and it’s clear that they are the ones that are wrong.
We spent 3 months in Wuxi building a manufacturing facility. We stayed in the International Hotel which was very nice. We witnessed a HUGE range of difference in how people treated the staff based on their nationalities. We were always kind, patient, talked to the staff, joked with them and eventually we had a core group that would attend to us solely. When we left, we had the entire wait staff gather around us, shake our hands, take pictures, and wish us well and it wasn't because we did anything different, I believe it was because we treated them well and respected them. I was proud to leave a good impact as an American.
In fact, many dark sides are not shown in the official media. They are indeed better for foreign enterprises, because China’s labor is cheap, and they do not strike. Working overtime without extra pay is normal. Foreigners are comfortable in China for this reason, but if it is Chinese people working, the position is reversed.
1/30/24_6:11 pm (NY EST): Good evening Winston! It's been a number of months since I saw one of your videos. I share the sentiments you express in this video. Thank you for teaching us about the society there. Stay Awesome! 🙏🙏🙏❤💐
In my experience over my travels around the world, I've made one observation: It's usually the people who have little to nothing, who are the warmest, most hospitable, and friendliest.
The gas station attendant... As someone who has worked multiple frontline customer service jobs. I have both witnessed and experienced first hand what she went through. Seeing it happen to others always pains me like a dagger through my heart each and every time I see it. Even if i had shaq o'neal levels of money, I could never treat another person like that. Why cant people treat other people with a bit of love and respect. Some people are stuck on the ladder just trying to survive and make it through life on a small wage so they can feed themselves, their family and maybe rent. There is no need to bully them and make their lives harder. absolutely sickening.
I've experienced it working service in America, but I've always been able to defend myself with minimal repercussion. That's what makes the difference... having the ability to punish them with poor service and of your boss doesn't have your back, there are other service jobs.
I'm a janitor, you get used to it. There's no politics in capitalism and communism here, just 'professionals' that have power and aren't afraid to show it. Its why these woke politics is so boring to me. So much bigger issues to deal with in this video.
@@terrancecloverfield6791 I appreciate you doing your job. Done all sorts of jobs during uni even "janitorial things". Never think nobody sees what you do. Even if most take it for granted.
ugh the first clip made me sooo sad... i studied in the UK and US but my parents didn't immigrate from china. when i went back i would say please and thank you to the wait staff and they would be so surprised (both my family and the staff) because so few people say that. it made me feel really bad like they work hard and dont even get a tiny bit of respect :(
I'm glad this topic has come up. 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾 I'm Kenyan, and we've had many Chinese relocate here to build these many projects they are doing all over Africa. Talk of open discrimination!! Some time back, some managers were deported after cases of violence against the African workers (captured on camera caning workers for being "late")... Another establishment was closed temporarily after open cases of racism against any black customer were confirmed (no entry for blacks, literally in the middle of Nairobi). Then some would walk around like we owe them a lap dance for getting noticed by them!!! They are rude and act like they own the president himself!! And treating their workers like the gum beneath their shoes!! The nice ones are the "poor" ones, maybe because they understand how wrong this entitlement is. But thanks for this video. This "emperor mentality" is a Chinese reality, sadly.
those who gravitate towards spearheading a venture like those, yet treat you this bad, don't have anyone's best interests in mind. Many live in a bubble of self granted superiority, because of their political image. Unless it's their insecurities showing, they are just psychopaths, and you bet there are many there. It's perfect for a "small dictator", to go into uncharted territory like yours, and try to blow smoke up his superiors, slantering your people and giving blame, yet doing the worst he can on his own to others, pretending he's upholding a "you still at the bottom, you need to work up to me/us" mindset, when all he's doing is shifting blame and awarenenss from those dealing with him by trivializing and talking over problems and doubt about his fellow Chinese's conscience, it's a delusion you have to feed, like any. A tactic which he'd have used everyday at home, and now he can try to be seen as a couragerous conqueror and "enterpreneur"- a-la any other dictator "trying to make a change", by strangling the others and their opportuinities by manipulation. Where we see inequality and bullying, asia sees incompetence and "ideas over people- by those who deserve to decide"- yet never living up to their own skeletons at home and the fears of their own culture, and of their family. The let-up and kick they get from being powerful enables their deranged cruel behaviour, and the people take it out of fear, yet you can always talk these things out- ultimately, there are capable, empathetic people at most of the highest positions, and where there aren't, there also aren't any real issues, as the issue makers also don't have cover, and are protected mainly by their mouths. You can alwys push on them, and phase them out, and there is ultimately the ultimate limits of shit taking in the matter of public justice.
Not only in China, Koreans have more or less the same attitude too. If you watch enough k-movies you'll notice that even among cops and in offices, the superiors will slap, hit, punch, spit, or kick their subordinates physically for the slightest mistake without any repurcussion. Now I understand it. Thanks. Keep up the good work 👍.
👍👍👍 They are rude af and discriminates according to how light/dark your skin is. I was rolling my eyes whenever Hollywood substitutes the White Savior characters in movies/shows with Korean actors. And, the rich Koreans? Chaebols produce fuerdai just as terrible as the rich in China.
I can relate to this. I met a Chinese girl a while ago and went on a few dates, she was always very sweet but then one time we went to an authentic Chinese restaurant and she acted horrible towards the staff. I ended it about 20 minutes after dinner.
I think could be a cultural thing. Because to them, they see it that to get things done in a Chinese restaurant, you have to be fierce and assertive. And because service line people for Chinese don't practise tipping, they may not be that attentive to the diners
@@SuccessforLifester I've never had bad service at a Chinese restaurant and I'm always patient and kind. Stop making excuses for the Ass Hole class of China! Hold them accountable and be kind to staff!
I remember the day still when my Chinese roommate at university realised what the bribes were about that her parents received. Her parents worked for the government. She was so sad that day. She also knew, at that time and fully, how she was able to attend this university in a foreign country. You have reminded me of that day.
I work in aerospace and there was a young Chinese man who was living and working in Kansas that worked in our office. I still don't know how he was allowed to work there. Anyway, he was what we considered upper middle class and even he was incredibly pompous. He couldnt wait to brag about every little thing he felt was superior. He told me, completely unsolicited, that he'd never driven himself anywhere until he came to Kansas. He drove 150 miles to buy sandals at a luxury store in KC and never cooked his own meals. He was under the impression this was appealing behaviour to Americans.
Thats how large the gap are between the poor and the rich. Most of the time through nepotism, the rich get richer and the poor get more desperate. The ethical issues between the moral compass of the people is really low if you go higher in the pyramid and also to the lower pyramid. Human degenerations, it's accumulated through this conjunction. Low ethics will gave rise to that of a unlawful societies. Propaganda everywhere.. We are in war against the principalities of this world. War against the enemy of the humanity. War against the atrocities committed by Evil. Our world right now are moving towards changes. Both toward the goodness of Humanity and Full control over the population via brainwashed deadbeat zombies. This is not a threat but something that had accumulated through the years. It's now being pulled to the surface because we have internet and now the social media platforms are being repressed. But..I believe in humanity. I believe we all will win against the Evil that are begin to show themselves causing hatred and trying to divide us all. I believe we all will made it.
People without God (or moral teachings) in their heart think "humans" with money and political connection is God... He expected you to think of him as superior by telling you he has money and connection.
@@secondfoundation4137 Yes on Donald Trump as arrogant and flamboyant, but Elon Musk is quite lowkey and humble in his manners and lifestyle. Also, Donald Trump is no where near as rich as Elon Musk.

I worked on a constrction site for a luxury resort off the coast of Australia. The catering was provided as we couldn't leave the island, dozens of Chinese workers were on the project doing the dry-lining. They were ultimately forced to have to eat last because any time they would be allowed to go to the buffet before other workers they would pile their plates so high with food & then never even eat half of it & waste it for everyone else. They would spit indoors and throw litter where ever they fancied; on the floor or straight into the ocean. Once a sea turtle swam into the bay and whilst everyone else was looking on in amazement, the first thing the Chinese workers did was hurl large rocks at it to try and kill it. I honestly don't know how a vast proportion of such a huge race can be such disgraceful human beings.
Bcuz China is not a homogeneous society and the only way to get all the different ethnic ppl to work and fight for the same country is by violent force which is basically like soviet russia and current russia tbh. It's disgusting and it's unbelievable that it's still a reality in 21st century. These two nations need to be demolished so russia is consist of truly russian ppl and china is consist of truly chinese ppl not other population that are taken prisoners by them!
Culture.... Not race. There are plenty of Chinese whom are not this way and it's because they were raised in a different culture. I'm only pointing this out because I think it's an important distinction.
@@Kevin-ur9us huh ? culture is RACE its the same thing, UK Australia Canada USA New zealand have the same race and almost exactly the same culture they all came from the Uk.

I remember years ago I was on a flight to Korea on China Air and the flight attendant in my aisle was extremely hostile to me. I was really young and had never experienced treatment like that in America so I thought maybe it was something I did wrong. Whenever they would pass out the food or blankets that came with our flight I was the only one she skipped over. It was so bad that I couldn't hold back my tears. Eventually there was another passenger on the flight who noticed this as well so they got upset and complained on my behalf. Afterwards they sent a different flight attendant to serve me because the first one flat out refused.
I was in Tokyo for the Golden Holiday Season. Before that, I was amazed with the level of hospitality, kindness and overall respect. People would literally gift me an umbrella when it rained and others would come run after me and hand it back, when I left it on the subway seat. All of that changed when the Chinese tourists arrived to celebrate for that one week. It was such a contrast. All of a sudden people bumping into me, cutting lines, shouting at waitresses. Puking on the train station on a regular basis. One would even try to start a fight with me because I jumped out of the way when they spit in front of me on the pedestrial. It was horrible. I made the same experience at the Milano fair event. They would push you aside, go into backstage areas as they pleased, threw all their trash on the ground and shamelesly took apart the kitchen furnitures on display. Then they took pictures of the insides, prosumably to copy the items for cheap. So rude. So rude.
Another story from my home town Berlin: I used to go to this Chinese restaurant late at night and sometimes it was full, sometimes empty. Nevertheless, the owner would always serve us gladly and kindly. They had this VIP section that was always empty. The kind of room where they have mirrors and those spinning dining tables for big bowls in the middle. Until one night there was Chinese costumers there. They would literally wreck up the place and throw at each other with drinks. Every 20 minutes or so you would hear a glass being thrown to the ground and through the slit of the sliding doors I could also see spitting on the floor going on. As the owner had always been kind to us, we asked if he needed any assistence throwing them out, to which he responded with a smile on his face and said: "Oh no, I don't mind the few bucks on glasses and the cleaning. They spend so much money on these stupidly overpriced bottles on the top shelf!" He meant the ones that no one ever orders, but you can always see 'em and wonder who the hell orders them. Moet Champagne, Henessy, Grey Goose Vodka, in those huge bottles. "They are buying it to impress each other and I make a fortune, so I really don't care."

I experienced some of this nonsense at Shanhai (ShangXi?) airport pre-departure gate. One of the children of the family in front of me had gone back to get a drink from a vending machine. The rest of the family got through, but the guard wouldn't allow the child through. The cutoff time was 12:00 and the child had arrived back at 12:01. The father was saying "Look, you can let him through. Otherwise it is a disaster for us. One of us will have to stay back with him, and we will have to rebook flights. For what? What is served?". And the guard stepped onto the raised kiosk so he was towering over the man and shouted at him: "I am the boss! You do not talk back to me!" It was a horrible situation, and the family was visibly struck by this cruel and needless ego-trip. I felt like a jew en-route to a concentration camp. Never again will I route any flight via China. I will not be a part of their sad power-play drama. Something is deeply wrong in that culture.
When you're raised in a dog eat Dog environment, you'll take every opportunity to step on the weaker. It's sad but that's the culture they're raised in.
Definitely sick headed culture’s they’re living. I’m half Chinese. Over my dead body, I will never go to China. I’ve seen enough in Chinatown how rude they are and especially try to catch buses. They just so damn mean, rude, pushy old Chinese people. I would push them back and shout at them. They just don’t have feelings.

I have had similar experiences. One time my granny cart was falling apart while I was walking in the NYC metro. Two very humble looking Chinese people (boyfriend and girlfriend?) saw my plight and rushed up to help me peice it back together. Conversely, while on a disney cruise I offered to take a picture for a seemingly wealthy young Chinese couple. They practically shewed me away like a fly.
omg I am so impressed by how deep u knew about the Chinese thinking. Though my dad is a Taiwanese but he once worked in China, then kinda became like Chinese. So he likes to show off by scolding waiters, or maybe shouting, and feel being powerful by doing so I guess. Even when he was back in Taiwan. It made him feel like he was rich, powerful or something, but it indeed disgusted me a lot, I hated it so much. It is just purely rude, impolite, awful. I really appreciate your presentation. sorry for my poor English tho
No need to apologize for your English because it is very good! Just remember, there are many people who not be able to master Chinese, Mandarin or Cantonese, as well as you have handled your English! I know this because I'm an English teacher and I tell my students I'm still perfecting my English. All the best.😂
I was at a restaurant once, waiting in a long line to place my order. A Chinese family of 5 walked in and cut in front of the entire line while the father just kept saying "thank you, thank you yes, thank you." everyone in line was like what the fuck are you doing but they didn't care. they just shamelessly cut to the front of the line and ordered. It made me sick. what a horrible family

Hell yes, great vid and I couldn't agree with you more! I'm an Englishman but speak fluent 普通話 and that disrespect towards people performing menial jobs really got to me during my time in China. I've witnessed it many times. I've had a lot of great times in China but this part was not one of them. During my time in Japan I also remember how easily the rude Chinese tourists stood out with no manners whatsoever towards the staff, even shouting at them in Chinese when they obviously couldn't understand!! Completely uncivilized and I feel sorry for the woman in the video with that cash just thrown at her with total disrespect.

Living in a Swedish city, there was a restaurant near my workplace where I used to have lunch. The owner was Chinese but some of the staff probably were immigrants from other countries as they spoke broken Swedish to each other. One day the owner said some really mean things to one of the waitresses when we customers could hear him and I decided never to eat there again. The restaurant went bankrupt during the pandemic. There is a new restaurant there now and it seems to be fine.
If you cannot confront for whatever reason, that was the best that you could do to help people who are being mistreated. I just hope the ‘migrants’ got replacement jobs somewhere and are now not being abused anymore.

I'm with you, Winston. During my nearly 20 years in China, many rich people warned me about poor people - that they would cheat me if I treated them fairly. I found quite the reverse. Most rich people I knew were always cheating - almost like a sport or pathological compulsion. And the poor - like bike repair guys would often do little things for free! One time I actually haggled with a bike repairman - except I was pushing the price up and he was pushing it down!!

China turned me into the worst possible version of myself when I lived there. You can't be nice. You just can't. The whole environment pushes you to disregard, and in my case, just despise everyone else. Hold a door for someone? As you said, everyone just takes advantage. You're the doorman now, and no one even thanks you. Need to get off the bus or the train because you're coming on your stop? No amount of polite asking will get anyone to move and inch.

I had a similar experience in Thailand while dating a girl from a wealthy family who was Thai-Chinese. She spoke perfect English and was beautiful, kind, and sweet (to me at least) and we got on great. She could have bought and sold me ten times over but it didn't seem to bother her and I really liked her until spending a few days in her hometown, Hat Yai. The way she treated people and her attitudes towards the poor really turned me off and it was embarrassing for me at times. We would pull up at a restaurant in her Mercedes and she would immediately get on the horn, demanding staff come outside and organise for other people to move their cars so we could park. She was just so abusive I couldn't believe it. One night we walked into a crowded bar and she started yelling at the staff, demanding they find a table for us and eventually a table full of locals were moved away so we could sit down; I was too embarrassed to make eye contact with anyone.
Another time she had to pick something up for her father from a local factory. She pulls up next to the security booth and started yelling at the guard, and eventually after several trips back and forth the guard had delivered a bunch of small packages. I asked her why not just bring it all at once and she told me that she only asked for the items one at a time because people like him are too stupid to remember two things at once.
The final nail in the coffin came when we were driving past some small rubber plantations. She explained to me that local farmers - at the time at least - were getting really good money for rubber and pointed out new houses they were living in and the nice cars they were driving. I thought that's great for the farmers, but it definitely wasn't an attitude shared by her. She explained to me how wrong it was that these, stupid, uneducated, lazy farm people could earn a good living, which made it difficult for her family to find enough workers for their factories, so they now had to offer better wages and conditions. She was utterly disgusted by these people making a good living. She really seemed to view them as human trash who only existed to benefit the wealthy.

She told me, "Stand right there on the platform, and when the door opens you rush in and grab me a seat". At that moment I was actually standing at the platform, first in line thinking I got this. By the time the train pulled up, I was surrounded by pushing and shoving Chinese people of all genders and ages, pushing and jostling for position. Old ladies were trying to crowd me out. When the door finally did open up, it was tons worse than any Wal-mart Black Friday sale I had ever seen. I am not a small guy, yet those little people around me were friggin animals.

I work in the service industry in America, I clean carpets in high end office buildings, I'm in the offices of CEOs and executives every night, sometimes they work late and I run into them. I have had amazing conversations with these people. They make 10 times my salary and they ask me about myself, my hobbies, if I like my job, if my pay is enough, they want to know if my company treats it's people well, and they are always appreciative of my work. They always thank me and most of them shake my hand no matter how dirty it is. I never feel like I'm lesser. Most people in America view each other as equal even if they make more and drive a nicer car. I used to do outside sales at my company and would network and go to luncheons and dinner parties all the time with wealthy executives and they were always so nice to the waiters and restaurant staff, they always left huge tips. And these are the supposed evil capitalists that look down on the working class
@@ithecastic virtue signaling normally involves genuflecting around a group of like minded peers.

Then when we moved to the U.S. We started all over but we always stay humble and know our root. Funny enough, we never want to dress stand out or deman for expensive food and eat whatever convenient to the family. But even our own families there judge d us saying how come we are not fancy and not dressing well like they are. Said if it were them, they wouldn't eat what we eat 🤣. We just said we mind eating simple food bec we dont want to demand much and make it easy for people. Hah!
I have seen many poor people who have become suddenly rich forget their past. Probably they think money is most important to do what you want to do in life and so tried to make money by taking advantage of others so they still do not care or take into consideration for others. The problem here with Myanmar generals who are now taking the leadership positions are the same too. Since they are rankers rising from privates, when they get power they mistreat their own staff because this is how they were treated before becoming to that level. When they get top leadership role, they think they are small god or kings and want people to worship them.
@@jamperTotal in china it does. In Australia you can't tell the people worth 65 million from anyone else. I know several millionaires and some are relatives. One relative knows a guy worth at least 65 million likely more and said you'd never realise. There's actually PILES of stories here of people worth millions getting kicked out of BMW dealerships. One guy and his brother owned huge coal mines. They wouldn't let him sit in a small BMW and kicked him out basically calling him poor because of how he was dressed. His and his brothers mines were valued that year for tax reasons. 274 million dollars.

2 experiences of dealing with Rich Chinese. My mother being assistant director at Eurotunnel and some high profile Chinese execs turning up - behaved like exclusive VIP and expecting nothing but Chinese food and be served. Me being assistant director for a summer school, and them rich Chinese kids and their assistants expecting full Chinese food catering and be treated like royalty - they had to be put back in their place, told they were students exactly like the other students, blend in if you don't like it, leave and go back to your country.
Here in Vegas I was working at a women's clothing store called Bebe in a tourist heavy area and was ringing up this Chinese tourist. Time to pay she threw the money in my face, I calmly picked up her money bill by bill and folded it neatly, walked to the entrance door and threw her money out into the crowd. Walked back up to her and told her she can leave now. Played out about as well as you think lol, manager wasn't in that day so amazingly I didn't get fired but it was a seasonal job so I was only there other week anyways lol.
Nice job
Americans are also dumb.
Why would your Manager fire you for doing that If He was there? Wouldnt He understand your Action?
Good for you for not taking that shit. And being treated like that is not worth it for the slave wages that service industry workers get these days.
Should have dragged her out and given her a kick in the back to help her out the door.

For a communist country, China has the worst social class related issues.
These are ALL Communist countries. Believe, I lived in one since birth until our Revolution.
You could find that same class thinking in communist Germany. There, it was less about money, but about your position in the party and who you knew. It's all about power.
Which is why people say they're not really communist at all, they're more like a State-Capitalism thing going on, where the government owns the means of production and pretends they're distributing wealth.
This is true. I've met people from other communist countries who would never dream of behaving that way.

I’m an American living in Thailand for the last 4-5 years. This is my second time living near Bangkok and I spent a year teaching in Seoul. Your videos are fascinating to me as I am a California licensed teacher who has taught online to Chinese students and been offered several very high paying positions in China. I’ve been intrigued, but always had a red flag in my mind about China. Thailand and Korea have similar cultural issues, many seem to be influenced by China. Yet, your stories make me really hesitant to consider China as a work option. Foreign teachers may not be paid as well here in Thailand, but the lifestyle seems much more laid back than the nonsense you describe happening in China. Being an immigrant is always a challenge and at times frustrating, no matter where you’re from or where you are, but China just seems to be a non-stop chore.
My sentiments EXACTLY!! I was going to teach in China, I mean complete with closing my business down at the end of the year and basically moving my whole world and life from US to China. This has completely changed my plans, because I know me, and between this and the spitting and the bumrushing masses, it's a no-go on that. My business and clients are happy that I am staying, though. I like my kindness, compassion, and lovely personality, I do not want it to change because I move to another country voluntarily. Hard pass. Good luck to you, though, teaching.
If I may ask, who site/resource did use to teach English online? I find myself in need of a job and I would also
like to see how I do in that specific role before making the move to another country to do that. Thank you for your time.
I have a close friend that married a woman that Immigrated to the USA from Japan. He was on a visit with her back to Japan and encountered Chinese tourists while shopping. Several of these tourists attempted to cut in a long line to pay for items. The Japanese shoppers were allowing it as if it was normal. My friend is a typical New Yorker from Staten Island. Needless to say, the Chinese tourists were placed back in line. His wife told him later this was a normal experience and that the average Japanese have an acute disdain for Chinese tourists. She also stated that it was very normal for the wealthier Chinese to come to Japan to shop because they were seeking items in Japan that could only be bought in China as counterfeits.
The difference between Japanese and Chinese people is night and day
I have seen worse behaviour with people from other cultural background especially from the West. There dressed inappropriately. Lots of drunkards fighting in the streets, threatening innocent bystanders and you don't feel safe without fearing getting mugged.
Mainland tourists are among the most least desired in the world.
@@carolflower8015 When I was a lowly shop girl, we had a group of Japanese men that would come in about twice a year. They would run me ragged, back and forth... and sometimes just stop in the middle of the store right in front of me, just to make me walk around them. They were terribly rude and quite sexist.
@@terfalicious As a foreigner in Japan I call BS on this
My friend told me an old Chinese woman walked up her driveway into her yard and picked tomatoes off her plants.
I saw one in Walmart take a whole ream of plastic bags off the register turnstile that the worker had just placed there and walk towards the exit. They had to run after her and stop her. It's like they're under the impression that their behavior is acceptable and if no one stops them they do what they want.
Hence why most public toilets don't have toilet rolls inside; you've got to take your own. And in some places, you've got to scan a QR code with your phone to get a limited supply from a dispenser.
I miss having Japanese tourists. Chinese tourists always litter, damage our local parks and let their children defecate in the street
That's literally it. They have no manners. They do not care about anyone else around them. I was just at the DMV in California two days ago and there was three lines to get in. A line for people with appointments, a line for no appointments, and a line for vehicle registrations only. Chinese mother and son came in and looked around.... And then just pushed their way all the way to the front of the line and the woman told the DMV person they were here for his driving test. The DMV lady told her Appointment? And she said no. The DMV person told her to go to the back of the blue line. The Chinese woman looked back, walked like three steps back with her son and just started trying to squeeze in the line and hahahahahahahah this sassy old black lady IMMEDIATELY said "UHHHHH HELLLLL NAAAAAAWWWW YOU GOTTA GO TO THE BACK, NOWWWWW!" and the Chinese lady just looked at her and turned back around BAHAHAHAHAH there's no way in hell that Chinese woman didn't know that what she was attempting to do was messed up, at the very least it should have been obvious to her, assuming she's been in this country for any length of time, HOW LINES WORK! I had no sympathy as she got yelled at by like ten different people because she wouldn't move and the DMV person finally had to intervene and went up to her and told her to get to the back of the blue line..... Well...... She saw the green line (vehicle registration) was WAAAY shorter so she got in that line. 😅 And at that moment the DMV person just looked over at the person in charge of registrations and told him DO NOT HELP THAT WOMAN SKIP THE LINE SHE'S PRETENDING TO BE DUMB OR SOMETHING 😂hahahahahahha had me dead and that's nothing, I recently went to Disneyland and in line for Space Mountain, a Chinese couple and their kids attempted to cut the line as well, just like nonchalantly trying to stand in front of people and they got yelled at, and then like ten minutes later the woman picks her kid up, PULLS HIS PANTS DOWN, AND SITS HIM ON A PLANTER AND THE KID STARTED TAKING A 💩 !!!!! BAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHHHHHHAAAAA needless to say, another sassy black lady saved the day she immediately got out of line and went and got security who pulled the couple and their children out of line and had a Disney crew member who spoke Chinese showed up quickly and had a full blown screaming match with the woman, it was soooooo bad but so funny
The new-rich act like this in any country. There is an old saying: ''A suit suits well in 3-rd generation.''
So sad
It was a culture shock for me when I had to take a business trip to Shanghai and I saw the wealth gap and this mistreatment of people. I described it to friends as a high-tech 3rd world. Ferraris dodging bikes. 50 story buildings with entire sides covered in LCD panels running video and at the base, dirty toothless women with babies begging for money. And I am not talking about a couple. I am talking about hundreds of them and everywhere.
I was staying at a really nice hotel. I arrived late in the evening so I dumped my bags and went down to the bar. I sat at a table by myself and watched stunned as every table treated the waitress like absolute garbage. Half of the people there were from Japan so I thought maybe it was a racial thing. After a couple weeks there I realized it was a Class thing and what I had seen was local businessmen showing their clout in front of visiting businessmen from Japan. No matter where I went I saw people with money treating people 'below' them like dogs. Whether it was shopping or bars or restaurants, the more nicely someone was dressed, the more unbearable they were to anyone they were interacting with.
Treatment of others was bad as well. As was mentioned, it is almost a necessity to set aside a part of your humanity in order to function there. You have to push your way on or off subways or buses or you will never get anywhere. No holding doors for people. I held an elevator door for a woman and six more people pushed in. I had to take the next elevator and they didn't care. You have to be aggressive standing in line anywhere or people will just push in front of you.
It was really sad. I loved getting to see the old gardens and ancient temples. However, once my business there was done, there was never a place that I have been more happy to leave.
Dude the CCP has wrecked China by ripping out traditional Chinese spirituality and morality, which is actually extremely sophisticated and beautiful. I have studied Taoism and I love it, it is amazing. But the chinese communist party wants immoral greedy atheists who worship them/"the party". If you really do a deep dive, communism and cultural marxism has its roots in satanism. Satanism is a very real but occult/hidden spiritual movement and core tenet of it is "the ends jystify the means", ie: do what it takes to get what you want and also "radical selfishness". In addition, if life is meaningless, there is no karma and no god, what does it matter if you are a terrible person? You can be a total demon and there is no penalty so why not? I do not believe this and acrually god is real, karma is real and life has meaning ... but you see how this bad collective spiritual software creates such an animalistic "dog eat dog" society. To learn more see Mark Passio's detailled breakdowns of satanism teachings and mind control:
Dude it's bizarre. Asia is so materialistic these days and in China's case, straight up satanic. Meanwhile the West is - overall - becoming more spiritual in comparison and things like yoga, meditation, 'karma' and taoism have literally never been more popular. Much of this stuff originated in Asia, where it is increasingly being abandoned 🙄🤦♂️🤷♂️
Not surprised for a country that do not know God. The result is cruelty to fellow human and animal cruelty.
San Francisco is worse
@J Best Two things here -
First, You have completely missed the point of Winston's video and message. The message is that no matter one's perceived 'social class' or status, we should treat each other with respect and dignity. This has absolutely zero bearing on a so called 'maturity level' of an economy and/or anything to do with any type of 'wealth gap'. And nothing to do with country/nationality.
Second, You used this 'new growing economy' and needing time to close the 'gap' schtick as an excuse for the Chinese behavior depicted. And that is Lame. Not only that, you didn't stop there. You took it even a step further. Feeding-off that to roll tight into a 'whataboutism' aimed at the US.
You think you're slick and crafty, but you're not. Nice try Clown.
I always go by "no-one is below me and no-one is above me" meaning we are all equal and to treat everyone with respect and dignity
Agree 100%
Excellent comment
I agree with you 100%. I lived in China for 15 years and it sickened me to see the service workers treated poorly. I always engaged them. Loved speaking with them. Never saw them as less than me.
You're a good person, thanks
Okay this makes COMPLETE sense to me. I used to work in a grocery store here in the UK, and Chinese students would very often just walk straight into me and genuinely make my job more difficult than it would already be for seemingly no reason. I wont lie, I felt guilty that I was stereotyping, but it was every single person who would shop in my store. This video contextualizes my experience perfectly
Never, absolutely never feel guilty for your own observations and conclusions (as long as they are valid).
My first exposure was a Turkish restaurant close to the Chinese embassy in Berlin. Sometimes you would see what I guess were embassy staff walk in, demanding to be able to inspect the grilled chickens just to then comment loudly in front of everyone that the quality was not to their standards and they left. When I was younger things like this puzzled me ... then I went to China... I have to add though that a two year stay in Hong Kong also taught me that you shouldn't really generalise. There were worlds in between Hong Kong and Shenzhen ....

@@peterfunfstuck8094 These are the people that give Asians a bad name. Shame on them!!!
I worked at Sydney Univercity where Chinese studentsfrom China are the majority of students & I have to say I was shocked at their bad behaviour, the level of rudeness was astounding.
Same as ubc and university of Toronto
And their lack of manners while eating!
I was in highschool and most of the female Chinese foreign exchange students were nice. Some of the Chinese boys though were rude and thought we were stupid. Not all of them, but some
These students by good chance are from the family like the one who was driving the Benz.
I've been told that a substantial amount of Chinese students in Australia are there because they couldn't get into a Beijing Uni and instead of being seen sending their child to a 'lesser' uni their wealthy parents send them to a foreign western uni which holds its own kind of prestige regardless of the uni itself.
It's "MORALITY" and how your family raised you. Humble, self respect and treat everyone equal. Im no better than anybody, my family just raised me the right way. Thank you for bringing this topic.
Truth is morals are ethics applied.
This explains so much. I don’t know if you’ve ever been on a (European or American) cruise, but the Chinese guests will push past queues, jump in the elevator you’ve been waiting for, take waaaay too much food at the buffet etc. It’s deeply unpleasant.
LOL sounds just like the Russians I encountered at the Dead Sea in Israel.
I often go to Cancun. The Chinese people totally fill their plates with food overflowing and take like 5 desserts and their small children go to the buffet by themselves and do the same. Then after eating maybe 25% of what they take, they get up and walk out. It all goes in the trash. They are oblivious.
@@macc240038 It's like they forgot to teach the children right from wrong. Well, religion is banned in China, so...
@@ChickensAndGardening Is no excuse not having a religion that you don't know right from wrong. I am agnostic and did not grew up in a religious environment, but I know right from wrong, what is ethical and being respectful.
@@whutcat682 Then your parents/friends/teachers taught you well. Clearly this is not happening in China, at least not among the wealthier class.
Years ago I went with a Chinese girlfriend to Sears to help her find some furniture but no one was manning that area so I had to go find someone to help. After a bit of a wait someone finally came and I thought great, now we can get on with ordering what she wanted, but instead my girlfriend proceeded to lecture this low level employee for 15 minutes about our having to wait and the store not having the area manned. It dawned on me that if she treated this person this way, it was only a matter of time before she did the same to me.
I don't get why some people can't just think that there may be a staff shortage or that staff are busy. It's not just some Chinese people, there's that bad and entitled behavior in every country. There's a video about what the Dutch think of Americans. And some people, including some Americans, stereotype Americans as rude too. Such as some American tourists expecting the world to know English. The reverse happens too. Some migrants to English speaking countries expected people to know their language too.

@@isopa2543 China has no customs, culture and traditions as these keep changing since Mao died.
My Chinese wife kind of warned me of the lack of manners in China before I visited. It was astounding. For instance, one thing I didn't know at the time and it really hit home was that, If somebody stops in the street in the UK, people will politely queue behind them. It's a very British thing. Something Brits are proud of. But in China, Queue at your peril. They simply don't know the meaning. First come, first serve. Push, shove, i'm before you. I felt that no one was aware of or had any respect for anyone else around them.
The other thing was shouting "Foreigner!" (in chinese) at the top of their voices whenever I was spotted in a street. Something i've never experienced or ever done myself in any other country i've visited. Really strange and slightly annoying.
As for the "wealth is power" thing. I have seen that a lot in a few different places. People just act like dicks because what else have they got to worry about. But generally, it is curbed in the west as 3rd parties tend to step in and give them a good hiding for behaviour like that. No longer does the "Do you know who I am?" thing work with these people because they could potentially be eating fist before the sentence is over. Disrespecting people of lower financial standing is just disgusting and scummy. Maybe that doesn't happen in the east.
Reading your comment makes me not want to go to China
@@faye891 I once told my wife i'd be prepared to live in China when I retired. I've since redacted that statement. I was in North east China. Majority of Chinese people are good (I guess much like any other country) but I was married there and a policeman was assigned to me. I was never told this would happen. I found the food to be a real mixed bag. Building Health and safety was non-existent during construction. No international internet. Government personnel were A-holes and totally unhelpful. Zero wildlife. No modern headache tablets! The local pharmacy told me to drink an infusion of some herbal rubbish and if it didn't cure my headache in 10 days, return and try something else. I really expected a few thousand years of amazing history but it felt very eastern european. It was an amazing adventure but not one i'd care to repeat. It just felt like a huge backward step.
Ironically, they refer to their countrymen as "Da Jia" meaning big family.
@@sneakygloworm I will NEVER visit China until they start educating the children basic manners, overthrow the CCP that thrives on corruption and insatiable power grabbing, and all-for-myself mentality.
@@shsu7426 It's strange and sad isn't it. These problems probably start with children's education and stick with them their whole lives because they don't know any better. Without labelling (and being to harsh to the average Chinese citizen) one might call them Uncivilised. But I feel that is because they simply have next to zero outside influence so it ends up in a self sustaining loop of weird and awkward behaviour to many people outside, looking in. What I find very odd is that just across the water in Japan, the absolute polar opposite in social behaviour occurred. As far as manners and etiquette go, I found Japan to be the most advanced on the planet in that respect. And I truly felt that if I could, i'd move to Japan with all of it's cultural complexities. Kind of my soul-country.
My Chinese mother-in-law was amazed at the freedom our son had. She said in China, children are made to study dawn to dusk every day. And I can imagine it would mostly be false information about the west and how great Mao was. China is like the weird man that locks all the children in the cellar and tells them the world has ended.
I was married to a Thai-Chinese, and she had the same attitude. Needless to say, the marriage didn't last long.
We saw a waitress crying the other night when my husband and I went out to eat. She didn’t want to tell us what happened but finally (after we bugged her) we found out that the rowdy guys that had been sitting close to us had skipped out on their bill plus they had harassed her the whole time they were there. She said her boss would take the cost of their meal out of her paycheck. My husband went and paid those guys check and gave her a tip on top of it. She was astonished that we did that but I have been a waitress when I was younger and in college. I hated it. It was the most thankless job I’ve ever had in my life. I know there are so many waiter’s and waitresses that are good at their job and love it but I absolutely hated it. We did that for the waitress because we wanted her to know that there are awful people in the world but there are also kind, decent people. I don’t care how much money I have I will never treat anyone less than. Not the janitor at the school and not the waitress in a sports bar. You should treat others with dignity unless they mistreat you or someone else. That lady crying at the car broke my heart. I wish I could give her a hug and tell her not everyone is hateful like that.

That he can freely treat the civilians with the worst attitude, yet receive no consequences about it. He recorded videos of himself disrespecting rural villagers, elders, homeless people & shop owners, etc. I seen a side of him I wish I knew about a lot sooner, he bragged about how satisfying it was to assert his dominance. It's heartbreaking.

I live in Las Vegas and there were a group of chinese people in front of the Mirage Casino Hotel. They pushed themselves through to the fence where the volcano goes off (with flames )and just ignored me and my family like we were not even there. They seem to have no awareness of others and only cared about themselves.
Most of them are CCP agents, get ready when they take over America and our police force protects them over us. Americans will be arrested by their police so China is able to take us over. Look at Covid and cops arrest church goers and restaurant owners. Sad times.
Yeah, Chinese tourists are the absolute worst.
Yeah. Sounds about right. Tell you what, it’s even more likely for them to do that to their fellow Chinese people abroad, because it’s somewhat easier for them to push around fellow Chinese people than Americans.
I was at Flamingo hotel eating my fish & chips meal on a patio. It was pretty busy, and a group of Chinese tourists just surrounded my table and shout around each other about my order of food, how much does it cost, how soon will I leave, etc. They want a table, but they don’t dare to invade the space of any American tourists, they think I am an easier target and it’s easier this way to annoy me off so they can have my table.
So I finished my meal, and I intentionally spread the residues to the table and the ground. They grab my chair even before I left the table, and I watched from a distance of seagulls constantly bothering them by picking up residues 😂

So right with your comments. The amount of wealthy Chinese who have been buying up here and taking over suburbs and living life as if it was still China; absolute arrogance / pompousness of these people is overpowering the Aussie spirit of welcoming, tolerance and giving everybody a chance. We are losing our identity because of a lot of these rich immigrants coming here in hoardes continuing the horrendous behaviours from their cultural background (and not just the Chinese, I might add)....
Yeah same here in UK too, don't wanna sound bigot, but I guess we have a religious problem now, people from lslamic nations like Pakistan, North African and some Arab states come here with their ludicrous and backward mentality, ghetto-fying places, grooming little girls, making sure to degrade the Christian culture.

I was working in Egypt about 4 or 5 years ago going to new dig sites to get archaeological experience for my under grad. While I had some time off I went to the valley of the kings to experience the gorgeous tombs cut into the rock. While I was there I saw a Chinese man reach up and pick some of the paint off the wall of a 3,000 year old tomb. I just about lost my mind. I dragged him out of the tomb threw him in the sand and started screaming at him about what he was doing. The guards came over and I explained to them and they kicked him out but the whole time it’s like this guy had no clue what he was doing wrong. HE WAS DESTROYING HISTORY and he said “I just wanted to know if it was real” it’s just unbelievable
Ironic how a chinese person wanted to know if something is "real", considering how their country fake all sort of shits 💀
Nice one.. Was a Paris Airport and these 2 Chinese suits deliberately jumped the queue bit by bit. We all watched as they rudely nipped in.

From 1998 to 2001 I made several week to a couple months long trips to China for my job. I was testing software and computer systems that my company sold to Chinese oil companies and installed on site. The oil company execs had several banquets for us celebrating progress milestones during our work. I noticed the rude way waitresses and other low level workers were treated. The waitress were never thanked, even though they were very good at their jobs. I always said thank you in my best "cher shi" or "xi xer" Mandarin I could muster. I even spoke to them by their names when I could. I noticed the locals, especially the oil company officials, noticing my politeness. One of my American colleagues gave me a "stop that" look several times.
I could tell the waitresses appreciated it because they were more cheerful around me than they were around the Chinese. The oil co. employees attempted to take turns "being polite" with me by going one-on-one with the toasts, "Ganbei". I don't remember the name of the liquor, but it was clear and to me it tasted like kerosene. I turned my shot glass upside down so that it would only hold a small amount of liquor in the concave well on the bottom. They told the waitress to turn it over before filling it. They were trying to get me drunk. She filled only the bottom well as I asked. I had already witnessed this one-on-one trick being used to get my colleagues very drunk. I held my ground and did not buy into their game.
At the end of this particular banquet I spoke to one of the English speaking waitresses. I proposed a toast to the waitresses and cooks and invited all of the waitresses to participate (all at once). I took a full shot this time for them. The waitresses were very happy to have been included. To my surprise, and even more so to my colleagues' surprise, the Chinese (CCP members) oil company officials seemed to admire my gumption as they treated me with great respect later.
Good show!
All for show after you leave those waitresses would be ...you know what 😳
The wonders of communism have brought brotherhood and equality to China.
Thank God for you and you're gumption!

I used to go regularly to a Chinese warehouse/store here in the UK ,and the staff were very nice and polite. Slowly over the years I saw a shift in the Chinese staffs attitude towards the English customers (Their business was mostly wholesale to take- away restaurants) So I stopped going. But recently a friend asked about it as she had never been, so I took her and OMG I have never felt so uncomfortable. We were totally ignored at the fish counter until we just gave up and moved away, then my friend asked another staff member a question and he gave a very curt and unhelpful reply...then called out very loudly (In Chinese) to another member of staff who looked at us and burst out laughing. It was horrendous and I will NEVER, NEVER step foot in that place again.........even if I was starving!!
Same thing happened to me and a friend from Germany in San Fran. We went for a bite to in in a small local restaurant. We walked in and a few workers were sitting at a table chopping food others walking around. No one acknowledged us at all. Not to say, 'we are not open, or we are on lunch please come back'. Nothing. They just looked at us like we were ghost or a look of hostility. I was so embarrassed. My German friend brings it up all the time. I should have yelped a bad review but to be honest I was in shock, and still am.

You have solved a mystery that has haunted me for over a decade.
I live near Yellowstone national park, very popular among the chinese, and whenever we travel and stay at nearby hotels there inevitably are Chinese tourists staying as well. I have had chinese vacationers steal Belgian waffles many times at the free continental breakfasts. I had just assumed they're super rude people without western boundaries. I go through the trouble of filling a cup with batter and pouring it in the waffle iron only to have someone swoop in and take my waffle as the timer goes off, and before I can retrieve it. Has happened dozens of times and had me perplexed, it even became a joke among family and friends.
its fucking insane
Wow so did they see you pouring the syrup or whatever on your waffle.bwfore warming it up? That's wild
This makes me sad. I guess you have to stand there and guard your waffle, LOL. Have never heard of this before. Chinese people (both living in the U.S., in Taiwan, and PRC) have always been very decent and kind, in my experience.
Why didn't you knock it out of their hand? You could have then yelled, "Pick that up right now!" The look on their face would have been priceless!
Dude! Are you saying you were standing right in front of the waffle machine and they pushed you aside and took it? Or you mean you left it a bit, not guarding it& they took it. The latter is maybe they thought you worked there & just making it for people. Honest that was my 9 years old thought until later I stand corrected...Like who fills it and leave?
I guess you can say those people were ignorant or rude ppl who cuts in fron of lines or cars in the freeway or cut in & take your parking spot. I hated those ppl.

I was skeptical of the op’s comment but it’s true.
I love that you included the video where the Chinese tourists were removed from the hotel. I live in Sweden and read about the incident. Swedish people know absolutely nothing abut China. It wouldn't surprise me if half the population doesn't even know it's not a democracy. When swedish people saw the unruly people rejected from the hotel, they figured they might have been drunk or mentally ill and thought nothing of it. When the CCP warned citizens of traveling to sweden, the swedish people was so confused. Such a culture shock.
Most do know how bad China is. The approval, rating and trust in China is at its lowest point ever. The official China/CCP BS is not liked by Swedes. The Confucius institutes were closed by Sweden, hardly any kids want to learn Mandarin in school anymore, there’s countless of articles in the media almost daily since many years about all the shit and threats China is doing. China and it’s embassy in Stockholm has threatened Swedish journalists and that is a matter of national security. The case of Gui Minhai (Chinese: 桂民海), the Chinese-born Swedish book publisher and writer who was kidnapped in Thailand by the CCP in 2015 and is kept in some dungeon in China, is an other huge beef Sweden has with China.
Even the police in the short clip were laughing because the Chinese people acted so ridiculous, the Chinese turned up the wrong day and the hotel or hostel had to call the police because they refused to leave.
Acting like a filthy Mongol barbarian is rewarded in China.
Yea not exaggerating at all.. I remember that incident very clearly and we had a good laugh about it for a month. Most people know about China, it's just that swedes are lazy and don't wanna be bothered by that dump. The incident was covered on svenska nyheter aswell where they ran an analysis on what was going on. Before that there were talks about whether we should include Taiwan on their maps or not and that was also a joke for a while. Stop generalizing.
The policemen in that clip should have just left the Chinese on the street and not give them any more attention.
Swedish people are so friendly. I used to date a Swedish lady. Even police officers are so friendly. Haha some stunning pretty hot female police officers in Sweden. You almost feel “lucky” to get handcuffed by hot Swedish police. 😂😂😂
You should travel to Taiwan. I find Taiwanese people are also very friendly. I think it is the long term bully and suppression by communist CCP that’s why rich Chinese are so rude. Because you need to be rude and bully to become rich in China. You only need to put up a fake smile to your boss to get promoted. Seriously it is a pyramid scam. You need to bully and push your competitors out to reach to the top of pyramid.
The supermarket where I lived once had corn on sale at a very low price. They had to have been losing money on it. When I walked into the supermarket, I immediately saw a large crowd of Chinese people surrounding a large box of corn. They were pealing the husks off and throwing them on the floor. That was so that the corn weighed less and they saved a few pennies. It was such a disgusting site, that I just left the supermarket and went to another one.
The price for that behavior in a western country is that everyone will see you as that outcast village idiot. And it's definitely not worth the price of a few corn husks. That a group of ordinary Chinese are shamelessly trying to save a few pennies in that way is scary.
@@larsjonasson2959 They were ripping through the corn like it had gold in it...

Actually that rings true in my experience. I took a Chinese friend to nice, hip restaurant in New York to show her an authentic local spot. She had a very expensive camera she wanted to show off, and started taking pics of people, got up and totally invaded their privacy. When a waitress politely told her to stop, she all but screamed at her, like yelling at a dog, insisting she can do what she wants. Pretty embarrassing! Luckily it was not a date.

We spent 3 months in Wuxi building a manufacturing facility. We stayed in the International Hotel which was very nice. We witnessed a HUGE range of difference in how people treated the staff based on their nationalities. We were always kind, patient, talked to the staff, joked with them and eventually we had a core group that would attend to us solely. When we left, we had the entire wait staff gather around us, shake our hands, take pictures, and wish us well and it wasn't because we did anything different, I believe it was because we treated them well and respected them. I was proud to leave a good impact as an American.

In fact, many dark sides are not shown in the official media. They are indeed better for foreign enterprises, because China’s labor is cheap, and they do not strike.

In my experience over my travels around the world, I've made one observation: It's usually the people who have little to nothing, who are the warmest, most hospitable, and friendliest.
Do you think these same people will remain the same should they become rich one day?
The gas station attendant... As someone who has worked multiple frontline customer service jobs. I have both witnessed and experienced first hand what she went through. Seeing it happen to others always pains me like a dagger through my heart each and every time I see it.
Even if i had shaq o'neal levels of money, I could never treat another person like that. Why cant people treat other people with a bit of love and respect. Some people are stuck on the ladder just trying to survive and make it through life on a small wage so they can feed themselves, their family and maybe rent. There is no need to bully them and make their lives harder.
absolutely sickening.
I've experienced it working service in America, but I've always been able to defend myself with minimal repercussion. That's what makes the difference... having the ability to punish them with poor service and of your boss doesn't have your back, there are other service jobs.

Another establishment was closed temporarily after open cases of racism against any black customer were confirmed (no entry for blacks, literally in the middle of Nairobi).

those who gravitate towards spearheading a venture like those, yet treat you this bad, don't have anyone's best interests in mind. Many live in a bubble of self granted superiority, because of their political image. Unless it's their insecurities showing, they are just psychopaths, and you bet there are many there. It's perfect for a "small dictator", to go into uncharted territory like yours, and try to blow smoke up his superiors, slantering your people and giving blame, yet doing the worst he can on his own to others, pretending he's upholding a "you still at the bottom, you need to work up to me/us" mindset, when all he's doing is shifting blame and awarenenss from those dealing with him by trivializing and talking over problems and doubt about his fellow Chinese's conscience, it's a delusion you have to feed, like any.
A tactic which he'd have used everyday at home, and now he can try to be seen as a couragerous conqueror and "enterpreneur"- a-la any other dictator "trying to make a change", by strangling the others and their opportuinities by manipulation. Where we see inequality and bullying, asia sees incompetence and "ideas over people- by those who deserve to decide"- yet never living up to their own skeletons at home and the fears of their own culture, and of their family.
The let-up and kick they get from being powerful enables their deranged cruel behaviour, and the people take it out of fear, yet you can always talk these things out- ultimately, there are capable, empathetic people at most of the highest positions, and where there aren't, there also aren't any real issues, as the issue makers also don't have cover, and are protected mainly by their mouths. You can alwys push on them, and phase them out, and there is ultimately the ultimate limits of shit taking in the matter of public justice.

He told me, completely unsolicited, that he'd never driven himself anywhere until he came to Kansas. He drove 150 miles to buy sandals at a luxury store in KC and never cooked his own meals. He was under the impression this was appealing behaviour to Americans.

Our world right now are moving towards changes. Both toward the goodness of Humanity and Full control over the population via brainwashed deadbeat zombies. This is not a threat but something that had accumulated through the years.
It's now being pulled to the surface because we have internet and now the social media platforms are being repressed.
But..I believe in humanity. I believe we all will win against the Evil that are begin to show themselves causing hatred and trying to divide us all. I believe we all will made it.
People without God (or moral teachings) in their heart think "humans" with money and political connection is God... He expected you to think of him as superior by telling you he has money and connection.
@@ligbzd837 Same way people think about Elon Musk and Donald Trump in America
@@secondfoundation4137 Yes on Donald Trump as arrogant and flamboyant, but Elon Musk is quite lowkey and humble in his manners and lifestyle. Also, Donald Trump is no where near as rich as Elon Musk. Elon Musk is self-made. Donald Trump's wealth came from his Dad and all the people he screwed. They are not in the same wealth class nor in the same moral class.
I'm glad you put "or moral teachings" in parentheses like it's a second-class citizen.
I worked on a constrction site for a luxury resort off the coast of Australia. The catering was provided as we couldn't leave the island, dozens of Chinese workers were on the project doing the dry-lining. They were ultimately forced to have to eat last because any time they would be allowed to go to the buffet before other workers they would pile their plates so high with food & then never even eat half of it & waste it for everyone else. They would spit indoors and throw litter where ever they fancied; on the floor or straight into the ocean. Once a sea turtle swam into the bay and whilst everyone else was looking on in amazement, the first thing the Chinese workers did was hurl large rocks at it to try and kill it. I honestly don't know how a vast proportion of such a huge race can be such disgraceful human beings.
Bcuz China is not a homogeneous society and the only way to get all the different ethnic ppl to work and fight for the same country is by violent force which is basically like soviet russia and current russia tbh. It's disgusting and it's unbelievable that it's still a reality in 21st century. These two nations need to be demolished so russia is consist of truly russian ppl and china is consist of truly chinese ppl not other population that are taken prisoners by them!
Culture.... Not race. There are plenty of Chinese whom are not this way and it's because they were raised in a different culture. I'm only pointing this out because I think it's an important distinction.
@@Kevin-ur9us huh ? culture is RACE its the same thing, UK Australia Canada USA New zealand have the same race and almost exactly the same culture they all came from the Uk. Chinese and china , there is a reason why its so different to Japan and Korea, and the things in this video almost never happen in Japan so its not an asian only thing
@@nic7048 how can it be a race thing you fool, there are Chinese societies all over the place. SIngapore is mainly Chinese, you donlt see this behaviour. It's what happens when a communism wipes out history and culture and it is replaced with a dog eat dog mentality.
@@nic7048 disagree, it is culture. There is a Chinese diaspora existing outside of China for generations and we don’t do that.
Sir thank you for making this wonderful vlog, wealth is very intoxicating and not everyone can handle it properly.
Oh, I teared up seeing that poor woman treated like that.... How cold and cruel.
Me too, I want to give her a hug
Don't travel to China. You'd constantly be drowning in tears, unfortunately.
I remember years ago I was on a flight to Korea on China Air and the flight attendant in my aisle was extremely hostile to me. I was really young and had never experienced treatment like that in America so I thought maybe it was something I did wrong. Whenever they would pass out the food or blankets that came with our flight I was the only one she skipped over. It was so bad that I couldn't hold back my tears. Eventually there was another passenger on the flight who noticed this as well so they got upset and complained on my behalf. Afterwards they sent a different flight attendant to serve me because the first one flat out refused.
China Airlines or Air China? Because one is Taiwanese and the other Chinese.
Chinese people are extremely xenophobic unless you're white and rich.
I'm sorry you had to go through that :(
This story did not make sense until I looked at your pfp.
@@melaniedomingo5755That name really got people confused.
I was in Tokyo for the Golden Holiday Season. Before that, I was amazed with the level of hospitality, kindness and overall respect. People would literally gift me an umbrella when it rained and others would come run after me and hand it back, when I left it on the subway seat. All of that changed when the Chinese tourists arrived to celebrate for that one week. It was such a contrast. All of a sudden people bumping into me, cutting lines, shouting at waitresses. Puking on the train station on a regular basis. One would even try to start a fight with me because I jumped out of the way when they spit in front of me on the pedestrial. It was horrible. I made the same experience at the Milano fair event. They would push you aside, go into backstage areas as they pleased, threw all their trash on the ground and shamelesly took apart the kitchen furnitures on display. Then they took pictures of the insides, prosumably to copy the items for cheap. So rude. So rude.
Another story from my home town Berlin: I used to go to this Chinese restaurant late at night and sometimes it was full, sometimes empty. Nevertheless, the owner would always serve us gladly and kindly. They had this VIP section that was always empty. The kind of room where they have mirrors and those spinning dining tables for big bowls in the middle. Until one night there was Chinese costumers there. They would literally wreck up the place and throw at each other with drinks. Every 20 minutes or so you would hear a glass being thrown to the ground and through the slit of the sliding doors I could also see spitting on the floor going on. As the owner had always been kind to us, we asked if he needed any assistence throwing them out, to which he responded with a smile on his face and said: "Oh no, I don't mind the few bucks on glasses and the cleaning. They spend so much money on these stupidly overpriced bottles on the top shelf!" He meant the ones that no one ever orders, but you can always see 'em and wonder who the hell orders them. Moet Champagne, Henessy, Grey Goose Vodka, in those huge bottles. "They are buying it to impress each other and I make a fortune, so I really don't care."
@@macksryanhold That's the solution, separate them from others, like the animals in the zoo. They can do stupid stuff, people can make money of off them and people around them don't get bothered.
@@macksryanhold This business man is lucky enough to earning a fortune on their stupidity but in another scenario, another person, it'd not likely have same result.
@Rodney 1984 I've been there for 2 weeks only and I sure felt that. Even they found me annoying (and by God, I know how annoying I can be) they still smile and forgive. I don't care if that's fake smile or true forgiven, till it's heart warming and I am very respect them. Take a big courage and mature to suppress your temper.
Go to china and you will see how ARROGANT the rich chinese are. And they way they treat people. Here in the USA as well, go see all the rich chinese government officials and their families driving in name brand cars, and living in giant mansions, in CAlifornia, Washington, New York, and you will see how arrogant they are!!
I really felt bad for that traffic police girl. How can someone treat service people ,who help us , like this.
I experienced some of this nonsense at Shanhai (ShangXi?) airport pre-departure gate. One of the children of the family in front of me had gone back to get a drink from a vending machine. The rest of the family got through, but the guard wouldn't allow the child through. The cutoff time was 12:00 and the child had arrived back at 12:01. The father was saying "Look, you can let him through. Otherwise it is a disaster for us. One of us will have to stay back with him, and we will have to rebook flights. For what? What is served?". And the guard stepped onto the raised kiosk so he was towering over the man and shouted at him: "I am the boss! You do not talk back to me!" It was a horrible situation, and the family was visibly struck by this cruel and needless ego-trip. I felt like a jew en-route to a concentration camp. Never again will I route any flight via China. I will not be a part of their sad power-play drama. Something is deeply wrong in that culture.
When you're raised in a dog eat Dog environment, you'll take every opportunity to step on the weaker. It's sad but that's the culture they're raised in.
Definitely sick headed culture’s they’re living. I’m half Chinese. Over my dead body, I will never go to China. I’ve seen enough in Chinatown how rude they are and especially try to catch buses. They just so damn mean, rude, pushy old Chinese people. I would push them back and shout at them. They just don’t have feelings.
CCP murdered millions. The Chinese collective live in constant trauma.
@@mehxsquared so should we start treating them like dogs? Cuz wtf
@@jerrycurl637 Hes not saying that. Hes saying that the culture that those chinese people are raised him leads them to be as a monster as possible to deal with the harsh reality.
I could never get along in a society like this. Where I live complete strangers wave, hold open doors, generally just acknowledging the existence of the people they come near to everyday. This shit just broke my heart. Fuckin ouch.
I have had similar experiences. One time my granny cart was falling apart while I was walking in the NYC metro. Two very humble looking Chinese people (boyfriend and girlfriend?) saw my plight and rushed up to help me peice it back together. Conversely, while on a disney cruise I offered to take a picture for a seemingly wealthy young Chinese couple. They practically shewed me away like a fly.
I always wondered why some of them could be so rude. Thanks for the info.
omg I am so impressed by how deep u knew about the Chinese thinking.
Though my dad is a Taiwanese but he once worked in China, then kinda became like Chinese.
So he likes to show off by scolding waiters, or maybe shouting, and feel being powerful by doing so I guess. Even when he was back in Taiwan. It made him feel like he was rich, powerful or something, but it indeed disgusted me a lot, I hated it so much. It is just purely rude, impolite, awful.
I really appreciate your presentation.
sorry for my poor English tho
You have excellent English Daisy!
@@Quackzine
ohhhh thank you. (๑`灬´๑)
You are so kind, I am encouraged. (〃'▽'〃)
Your English is better than a lot of people who were born in England!
Taiwan is part of China.
No need to apologize for your English because it is very good! Just remember, there are many people who not be able to master Chinese, Mandarin or Cantonese, as well as you have handled your English! I know this because I'm an English teacher and I tell my students I'm still perfecting my English. All the best.😂
I was at a restaurant once, waiting in a long line to place my order. A Chinese family of 5 walked in and cut in front of the entire line while the father just kept saying "thank you, thank you yes, thank you." everyone in line was like what the fuck are you doing but they didn't care. they just shamelessly cut to the front of the line and ordered. It made me sick. what a horrible family
never let them get away with it, they rely on your good manners. I grab the *unts and tell them to eff off on the spot. Only way to educate these low lifes.
no manners whatsoever
Hell yes, great vid and I couldn't agree with you more! I'm an Englishman but speak fluent 普通話 and that disrespect towards people performing menial jobs really got to me during my time in China. I've witnessed it many times. I've had a lot of great times in China but this part was not one of them. During my time in Japan I also remember how easily the rude Chinese tourists stood out with no manners whatsoever towards the staff, even shouting at them in Chinese when they obviously couldn't understand!! Completely uncivilized and I feel sorry for the woman in the video with that cash just thrown at her with total disrespect.
And it wasn’t even necessary. It’s not like she did something wrong
They think they’re emperors and can live in their own bat eating social circles
me·ni·al
adjective
(of work) not requiring much skill and lacking prestige.
"menial factory jobs"
describing someone's job as "menial" does not ring very "polite" neither... nothing in writing says a professional waiter is doing a menial job unless he obviously is a bad waiter who doesn't know his job, then it's a bad waiter not doing his job not because he has a menial job.
@@yootoober2009 Well okay, how the fck else are you going to describe it? 'Low skilled'? I didn't mean any disrespect with that comment whatsoever. I just felt sorry for that woman in the video who was just doing her job but was treated awfully by that prick. I've seen the same kind of thing before firsthand.
@@yootoober2009 menial tasks are a part of every job and is not an insult. You can make anything sound good or bad. What matters is intent, which can be gathered from context. Based off the context of the original poster, he had no ill intent. I'm a blue collar worker here in Texas. If someone described my job as menial in nature that would not be incorrect, objectively speaking. The context matters greatly so try not to mischaracterize it by simplifying it.
Thank you for this Report. I did Not know that. Thats very sad.
I dont have words for this.
Greetings from Germany 🍀
Hello gbbl6157, I have many good friends from the Aachen area. My best friend from there loves the US. We went to the Ritz for brunch, and she said, "Let's smile to everyone. " I'm like, okay. Then she said no one in Germany was as friendly as Americans. My experiences in Germany were very different. Even though I don't speak German, they were all kind and generous to me, and my friends couldn't believe it.
@@mickieerickson7267hello, nice to read🪻I have a lot if American Friends, retired/ ex- soldiers who stayed here in Würzburg with wife/ family. Very friendly and honest people. Greetings 🙋🏻♀️🌺
The Chinese Tourists crying on the ground in Sweden had me rolling 😂😂😂
😂😂
Living in a Swedish city, there was a restaurant near my workplace where I used to have lunch. The owner was Chinese but some of the staff probably were immigrants from other countries as they spoke broken Swedish to each other. One day the owner said some really mean things to one of the waitresses when we customers could hear him and I decided never to eat there again. The restaurant went bankrupt during the pandemic. There is a new restaurant there now and it seems to be fine.
🇸🇪
If you cannot confront for whatever reason, that was the best that you could do to help people who are being mistreated.
I just hope the ‘migrants’ got replacement jobs somewhere and are now not being abused anymore.
China has always been this way. Allied vets from WWII noticed this about the Chinese.
A lot of people in China are on a perpetual power trip. Just reeking of insecurity.
This guy's really interesting to listen to. I've been binge watching his stuff for the last 3 hours. 😂 Greetings vannie PE bozza.
