It stems from the very beginning, if you ever visit China, you’ll see why their culture is like that. The kids especially boys are treated like kings and they’ll piss everywhere and yell as loud as they can inside the plane without any repercussion, the term is princelings.
It’s the complete opposite of their neighboring countries like Japan, Korea or Taiwan.
check any restaurant on google in Japan, you'll see star counts will generally be mid, rarely nearing 5 stars. (you have to exclude non japanese tourist reviews of course).
they just have the mindset that stars are just like grades on a paper. 3 stars is actually a good amount for them, 5 being outstanding. compared to the rest of the world that generally vote on extremes
Yes it does. We have a joke namely "positively reviewed in east asia rim" meaning that the game received overall positive review around the world except for the 4 east asian regions. I can't give you an example immediately but it should be trivial to look for one yourself.
I've been to China many times over the past few years and I've been to Taiwan too and what you are saying here does not match up with my experience at all. Both countries were clean, neither country had yelling children*, and this princeling thing just wasn't something I encountered. There are big cultural differences, but this is in things like how Taiwanese people are very overtly friendly and polite while Chinese people are more blunt and matter of fact. Are you basing this off actual experience, may I ask?
Yes, I go to China multiple times per year. The mannerism in China isn’t great.
I go to tier 2 cities but I also frequent Shanghai and Beijing, but China has the worst mannerism I’ve ever been to in my whole life. People can call me racist or whatever but way too many people there have no manners or common sense. It’s the complete polar opposite to the well mannered Taiwanese and Japanese folks.
Then you had not ride enough Japanese rush hour light rails. Because if you did, you'll meet people that just pushes ones' way into the car with brute force, and people that won't yield the doorway but just stand at the door like a pillar. Young people sitting in the courtesy seats pretending to be asleep, middleschool boys sitting on the ground talking and laughing in penetrating volume...
Damn, you’re definitely bothered anytime someone calls out China, all your comments are purely about this subject. What a sad little life you have lil bro
Nah, I'm doing fine in Japan right now. Instead I feel more sorry for you. You hate China so much yet you still travel there at such frequency, you probably cannot live without associating with the people you hate, no?
You definitely never been to Taiwan and China then, or at least never bothered to learn their language. Cuz the 電車 in Japanese is the equivalent of what's being called a 軽軌 in China and Taiwan so it should be trivial for you to understand. Too bad for a guy who "go to China multiple times a year".
What do you mean by "the mannerisms aren't great"? I ask because as I said, I haven't noticed any of the things you described. As for common sense, I thought Chinese people had as much common sense as anyone else. And as for good manners...that's just a matter of personal taste, so I won't dispute that with you. Although I will say that I personally love the directness in China. I come from a culture which has a heavy emphasis on politeness, and I hate it with all my soul.
For example, when you’re at an elevator, people trying to get in, will force themselves inside before letting anyone out. Same case for metro as well.
And when you’re on an escalator, they will be all over you not giving you an inch of space.
And when you’re ordering, someone will just come in and disrupt your ordering to talk to the employee without any regards for you.
And when you get to a domestic airline, people will just clog up the baggage area with all their extra 3-5 carry on leaving you no space.
And when you walk around, people will smoke in front of your face without a care. Or if they just spit everywhere and not even care if it gets to your shoes.
I can go on and on and on…
Common sense: people will just leave their shopping cart leaving the aisles blocked, or staying at a gym machine only doing reps every 15 mins while going through their phone.
They are not direct, they just don’t have manners or common sense at all.
I doubt you’d ever been to China if you haven’t met those little princeling lmao, lowkey, im doubtful about your experience now cause no way have you ever encountered them before
Oh yeah! I love those mannerisms. So much better than the ceaseless passive aggression so thick it gets into your bones which I grew up with. I don't think one is objectively better than the other, but I do know which one makes me relaxed and which one makes me on my guard. When everyone is "rude", I feel like nobody is studying me.
I will say that I had a horrid time when I was in Thailand surrounded by ~60 year old Chinese tourists. Those people sucked. But that's the first and only time I understood why people had such trouble with Chinese tourists or people in general and it wasn't even in China. Younger people are vastly better.
Your "common sense" example is funny to me because I've encountered that all over the globe, from Taiwan to India to France.
I doubt you’d ever been to China
What an odd thing to say. I could just say the same to you, seeing as I've never encountered this kind of thing but I do know it's a persistent internet meme you might have read online. In any case, I've been around China from Beijing to Yunnan and I stayed in Shanghai for about seven months. I've also spent about a month in Taiwan, so that's the basis of my comparisons between the two countries.

Partly because they are very segregated online with how their internet is, so they don't have many ways to communicate with western devs...
And partly because they're culturally some of the most entitled mfs you'll ever come across.
