How traditional culture is destroyed explains why Chinese have bad manners

Sign up for my emails or make a donation at leisrealtalk.com/
Chinese people are very proud of the 5,000 years of Chinese culture. But when they leave China, the bad Chinese behavior often leaves them embarrassed. Many attribute Chinese tourists’ bad manners to a lack of education or proper breeding. But that’s not the case. When traditional culture is destroyed, an ancient civilization is turned into a troubled nation plagued by bad behavior. And is there any hope?

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

A group of little old ladies didn't want to wait their turn to get off so they literally shoved us to the side and pushed their way to the front of the bus. I figured out what was happening and put my hands on the seats to my sides and the last lady in the group could not pass me. Unwilling to get down on the floor and crawl under my arms, she had to wait her turn. It was a shocking display of disrespect.

Many Chinese individuals would cut through the other tour groups, yelling to their travel mates, interrupting the tour-guides lectures. Anyone with any manners would go around the other tour groups but they would just walk right through them like they were some inconvenience. I didn't see anyone else doing that the ten days we were there. Rude, abysmal behavior.

    I used to work at a beachfront restaurant in California. We had many different tourist groups from Asia. We had Japanese, Filipinos, Koreans, Vietnamese, and Hong Kong Chinese as well as Chinese from Malaysia and Singapore. All were generally respectful, courteous and friendly. Mainland Chinese were a different story. The arrogance, sense of entitlement, lack of personal hygiene(especially from a civilization that developed medical advancements)was really shocking to be around. I have a lot of praise and respect for Chinese culture and civilization, but the behavior of Chinese tourists needs a serious upgrade. Respect for other people and their cultures and traditions should be honored. Whether you are American, Chinese, Indian, Russian, Nigerian, etc. Be good to your hosts.

The Chinese company had bought ours 25 year old successfully micropropagation lab and wanted to copy the techniques. It was a drastic change in work condition. We were constantly at odds with our Chinese boss, constantly screaming at eachother. What surprised our new boss most was that we often said 'No'. She was not used to that. But she was asking for things which were destroying the quality and which went against the western work ethics. The company was closed last year after over thirty years of success.

    Our company is also in Western Europe, and our department got a new Chinese boss a year ago. She is a tyrant and a bully. Anyone who does not do what she says will face retaliation, demands respect without earning it, and aggressively blames and shames her underlings for anything that goes wrong - and expects us to take it. She was likewise shocked that we dared say "no" to any of her orders. As such, many in our department have resigned or are leaving (myself included). We went to complain to an ombudsperson last year, who also works for different companies in our city. Interestingly, he said that he was dealing with very similar cases in other companies and organizations - the common denominator was that the bosses acting this way were overwhelmingly from mainland China (and, in second position, Japan). I hate to say it, but this just seems like East Asian management style.

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

The brainwashing still happens but outward, mostly my father. “There’s no crime in China.” Like it’s a utopia to be emulated. “Everyone in China is rich” but whenever we visit our relatives in China where they live probably just above the poverty line.

It's a great shame that the mainland has lost its connection to thousands of years of rich culture, rooted in the values of Confucianism, Buddhism, and Taoism -- culture that spread to other parts of Asia and modern day countries that were once part of great ancient Chinese empires. Countries that today are well known for politeness, kindness, and great manners. It's a real shame, the loss of this connection.

    I always thought it was "little prince syndrome" that was behind the rude behavior of Chinese. Basically, because of the One Child Policy, children were spoiled like little princes and were not given any discipline. Basically, because parents could only have one child, that child was given whatever it wanted. Also, children would not be socialized as well (no brothers or sisters) and would not be able to understand how their behavior would hurt the feelings of others.

    I too have noticed over the years that the Chinese seem rude loud and aggressive. With one notable exception. I was having a week's holiday in Vienna visiting galleries, restaurants and museums mostly. In the main art museum I decided to have a very nice lunch in it's in-house restaurant. It was quite busy and a young Chinese woman asked if she could share my table. Being English, I of course said she was welcome while wondering to myself what I was in for. It turned out that she was visiting Vienna as a tourist for much the same reasons as me. Her command of spoken English was impeccable, with a good English accent and she was cultured, polite and well mannered. I noticed that she wore expensive clothes and had an expensive phone and camera. We had a most pleasant conversation and each went out separate ways. Thinking back, I concluded that she came from a wealthy family and had been educated at an expensive Englush private school. It seems that, as everywhere else, a priveliged upbringing can pay dividends.

    @@eduardochavacano and yet the difference is so obvious you have no excuse for ignoring it. In China people can't fight back or they get their skulls kicked in and are thrown into concentration camps where the guards can pretty much do whatever they want to them. In the west however people fight back and if the government retaliates the people fight even harder and more committed. And unlike what left wing groups used a year ago these people show resistance through non-violent means no matter how much leftists try to provoke violence. In fact westerners demonstrated they stand a better chance of using the law to it's full intended effect this way and the left is in retreat as a result because they now have no idea what to do. That's the difference between a country that has a soul and is willing to fight for it and a country whose soul has been robbed. For China to change it would take a fight on par with the American Revolution. All westerners need to do show we do not support this, whatever it may be, is to simply say no, or honk a horn, block a road, you know pick your non-violent method.

But instead of joining the back of the queue, they all went around the sides and pushed through the middle as if the rest of us were furniture or something. I couldn't believe what I was seeing. I to this day can't understand the disrespect and arrogance.

I was born and raise there and they came in, took over quite fast real estate on the coast side of the City. We were already a diverse City and it would baffle, and annoy most of us quite fast that you could be at a gas station looking across at a man with a turbin on his head, Pakistani for example, who did not speak a word of English BUT knew how to smile and be A HUMAN BEING. In the super markets the newly arrived Chinese would push and shove, UNNNECESSISARLY in line. I was already in my 40s so after a few years I put it together. ALL OTHER FOREIGN BORN, NON ENGLISH SPEAKING PEOPLE coming & staying in San Francisco, acted with an ounce of humanity, while the mainland Chinese, never made eye contact, had no social graces at all. This is not about money. This was I suppose years of what you are saying: Red China took away their past culture, and the lack of knowing how to maneuver POLITELY through the Western World.

    I was married and lived in Hong Kong in the late 90’s, the Chinese Hongkonger’s there were the very height of well mannered cultured global citizens, this changed after the handover, after mainland Chinese flooded into Hong Kong… This is not an elitist outlook, it is what it is I’m afraid. Hong Kong had the potential to teach so much to mainland China, and the Chinese 'culture' as a whole; yet that opportunity was not only mislaid it was intentionally forfeited. A Culture, a city like Hong Kong can not be made, but it can certainly be subverted.

    idk rhe history about China, so im only going to answer the question in your comment. An appreciation for the arts is to learn appreciation for the human heart, its flaws and differing interpretations of the world. The correlation of the destruction of the traditional arts to poor manners, comes from the fact that if a lot stuff LIKE the arts was destroyed, not just arts, it leaves mostly only space for things you’d do that would garner ‘clout’(social credit score), that only benefit the government, reputation, eventually there comes in other nasty stuff. (side note; Art still exists in china of course, but i cant imagine theres total full freedom to do as you wish without repercussions.) So like in the video, imagine if you cant do ballet that tells a beautiful story of freedom, or the flawed human experience, but only about propaganda, perfection of the nation and weapons. The easiest way to destroy a culture, a people, is to destroy their art and stories. Most people dont tend to think art is important like science or math, but it contributes as a whole to the culture and wider community. It does a lot more than what people realize basically, freedom of expression(how you dress, what you eat, music, etc) vs strict protocol(the opposite)

    It's not just the Chinese Communist Party that does that. Any puritanical or fundamentalist outfit tends to do the same. The religious zealots in 16th and 17th century Britain wiped out a lot of folklore and replaced it by the cod-history of the King James Bible. At times they managed to ban music, dancing and the theatre. The Wahhabi sect of Islam does the same. It was taken to extremes by the Taliban and ISIS. I would be surprised if Pol Pot's regime left Cambodia undamaged. The "Punk" movement of 1970's Britain fostered the kind of behaviour people are complaining about here. They prized spontaneity over art and skill. Sometimes a subculture becomes the dominant culture and everyone tries to copy it.

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

She acted surprised and looked around as if she had no idea there was a line and then made her way to the back. I didn’t think much of it at the time.

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

    Fascinating I have observed first-hand some of the appalling public behavior by Chinese tourists, but given that Americans have had a reputation as ill-mannered tourists, I felt reluctant to call out the behavior of the Chinese tourists. I also worried that my attitude might come from some racist attitudes. I finally decided there was something uniquely troublesome about the behavior of Chinese tourists after an incident during the Japanese festival of ohana-mei, cherry blossom viewing, when a group of Chinese tourists climbed into the trees to tear off branches as souvenirs. Nothing could have horrified the Japanese more, and now the Japanese have special sections of exhibits for Chinese tourists, or carefully escort Chinese tourist groups just as the Japanese have done with Westerners for many years. I had attributed this to Japanese racism, which they have in abundance, but it seems to have a factual basis as well. Thank you for explaining a behavior of Chinese tourists that had previously surprised and confounded me.

So many Chinese people gathered in the King's bedroom and agressively pushed everyone to take pictures, without any regards for people around them. In that room in particular. They didn't seem to care about any other. We tried to figure out why with my husband and my friends. We wondered if it was because it's the king's room, so because of hierarchy and the idea of power it represents, or because it was a red room, and Chinese people tend to like red, that it unleashed so much passion from them.

It’s not about power or the hierarchy…but if you wanna go there you can always say the reason a king’s room being the central part is because of hierarchy. China is an overcrowded country and there are generations of traumas generated from lacking of resources, including food and other essentials. So in a way yes, we do have this every man out for themselves mentality, and people can get really competitive, rude or even ruthless. I don’t like it, I wish we can grow out of it, but seeing westerns who probably know very little about our history and our current life making comments like this still hurts me.

They never ever tip and even start giggling and laughing when you give them the card machine with the add a tip screen on.

    As someone who used to identify as Chinese, I feel a moral obligation to warn you that China's traditional culture is just as autocratic, brain washing, barbaric, fatuous and violent as the communist party itself. A very good comparison to Chinese culture would be the Aztec civilization of the new world. If you find it hard to believe (I know it is), look through some pages of Chinese history and you will know the unthinkable events that had happened on this ancient and barbaric land long before communist took over, and understand the roots of the ill-mentality of its people. Fa lungong started up as a cult in mainland China aiming to brainwash poorly educated, illiterate, superstitious peasants and rob them off their family relationships, proper healthcare, mental capacity, and more important, the ability to reason with logic and science. They later grew too big and threated the CCP, who persecuted and banished them aboard. Despite that, it is also true that the enemy of your enemy could be a fiercer enemy instead of your friend. Nowadays medias sometimes give selective truth to serve their political purpose so independent thinking is always the key for you to stay alert and not falling under the influence of ill-purposed people or organization like I used to.

I sincerely believed the Chinese were once very polite and well mannered until when Genghis founded the Mongolian empire and took over China. a barbaric ruthless empire that reached to Europe. the Russians inherited this brutal method from the Golden Horde. also allied were the Jurchens which later became known as Manchus, who are derived from tribes, took over Beijing and formed the Qing dynasty.

    I've seen and heard many, so many, unpleasant stories regarding Chinese (mainland) ppl behaviours. I was really taken aback how they behave so poorly, even when they're overseas. From their grab hag culture, littering habit, unflushed toilet, dirty room, loud noises, rude speech, etc. To the point some hotel/inn owners here won't receive Chinese tourist from mainland. I personally won't forget how they literally cleared up the whole breakfast buffets, leaving other guests waiting for the refill (some even left) and watching them eating, talking, and laughing so loudly, and so carefree w/o burden. Forget table manner, they even litter on the table and floor! I was utterly speechless! And maybe others too! There's also one from security guards of girl dorms. They said, "Don't look at how those Chinese girls dress in branded clothes and pretty make up when they're going out. Trust me, u don't want to see how their rooms look like. Or how they look and smell at home. Not to mention their attitude." And this really opened my eyes. When my dad avoid anything related to China, I thought he's just being judgmental. Turned out it's me who need to learn more. Yes, not all Chinese are bad. But when the majority of them behave so badly, it makes me wonder what kind of mentality they live with, or what kind of society they're in. Hopefully they're growing better in the future.

    Being a tennis coach teaching alot of mainlanders, i share the same sentiment. The ones i teach never throw their own trash. Its always on the floor. We have plantations out the court and some would stuff trash out the court. Today at work, one of my clients fell down the stairs. He's 60 and we all know how serious it could get for older people to fall. He was in pain and laid on tje floor for 10 minutes before sitting upright for another 10 minutes to finally decide he needed an ambulance. Told my contractor about this and his first reaction is to laugh and joked that je was probably busy looking at some pretty girl. Best way to describe them is that they seem to be rejected by society quite a bit, so they don't have much sense of the social norms. I really feel like they might need 2 generations of globalization to reach where people are at now.

    Two examples I've experienced, we were once at the front of the a group to see the soldiers parade at Syntagma Square in Athens, as we had arrived quite early we were right at the front. A Chinese "princess" with an umbrella, pushed her way to the very front of the crowd even though she had got there quite late. My husband had words to her, to make her understand she needed to go to the back of the gathered crowd. She was shocked. The other example was on an isolated bushwalk in our country, a Chinese tour group followed us up to the top of the rocky outcrop. As we came down, we noticed someone had laid a large human turd on the ground, right at the information board. It was not there when we went up the trail, so it could only have been done by someone in that group, so disgusting.

For those who don’t know China has troll farms full of people who scour the internet looking for any content that is critical of China and then blast the comments with Chinese propaganda or just insults anyone who is critical of China. If you go through any KZread videos of Chinese critical content you will see the same accounts in the comments over and over again. Often they will make the same comments, insulting people or just spewing propaganda.

I have seen quite a few chinese, english, japanese, other european and australian guests. in order of politeness: japanese other european ( that also varies) australian english chinese I have had numerous instances where english people (and specifically english, not counting irish, welsh or scottish) basically told me to go do everything for them even if they attended a self serviced buffet. mannered, but rude af. mostly comprised of older people. Chinese were worse tho. By a longshot. I don't like to generalize as that can often lead to rather problematic trains of thought. But holy hell. The tables they left looked like a warzone, they were very loud and obnoxious to the point where other guests asked us to quiet them down, they were rude with their requests and looked at everyone like they were part of a freak show.

    I have had my share of bad interactions with Chinese people. I like in a city that you can go into apartment buildings and not one name is English. Worst by far was when my Chinese wife and I were on an elevator with 2 young men dressed in their likely knock off designer gear started talking shit about us. Now the thing is I speak FAR more Mandarin than you would expect a chubby white boy to be able to. Well I have no issue you calling me fat, but say nasty things about my wife and well its on like donkey kong. I calmly stopped the elevator between floors and stood tall and dressed them down in my broken Chinglish. I am lucky my smarter, nicer wife pulled me away or it was getting close to hands being thrown. Also saw Sheng Yun, it was lovely... right up to the end. Then it went gruesome, which is fine by me but my 6 year old and my 86 year old REALLY did not appreciate it.

I lived with a mainland Chinese partner (they were 29 years old) and when my father passed away or when my son was in a coma in hospital it registered no emotional or empathy towards me which I would have got from a stranger. This is the kind of poison the CCP creates from its very existence and the kind of society that China is now where impressing friends with wealth and position mean everything.
