How is that?

These mainland Chinese are infamous for their rude behavior. If you visit countries such as Hong Kong and Singapore, this can be very evident. Although both these nations are overwhelmingly ethnic Chinese, they regard the mainlanders (i.e the ethnic Chinese from the People's Republic of China) as arrogant and rude.

Ha ha ha Thats ridiculous.Seems these Chinese tourist go by the ideology of their great leader Mao Tse-tung " Everything under heaven is in utter choas; the situation is excellent."

[PolarPoint]

You don't need to go to Switzerland to experience that. Visit a China town near you and you can tell which tourist is from China. Their government should force them through a "cultural" course before allowing them to visit foreign countries.

That's such a burn
It sounds quite amusing I remember they had a concert in the alps it must have been part of that group of tourists that pissed the Swiss off.
(Stood on toilet seats to relive themselves spitting on trains, they were rich enough to travel but poor enough to use squat toilets, I guess culturally they still have a ways to go in terms of what the international traveler should act like.)

Whatever reality might be, this does look a little bit racist.

Yeah, this was my first reaction to this story. There is such a deep history of racism and segregation in the US, I highly doubt there is any serious attempt that will be made to segregate public transport. And even if there was, it would more than likely be deemed unconstitutional and shutdown early on.

No, it isn't. This is about adjusting a service for customer demands, and bridging cultural differences . Banning, or forcing them into separated wagons or even trains because of their Chinese origin that would be racist but that's not happening.

not really surprised by the rude part. I know a few native chinese and most of them speaks/acts like they own the world or something. not sure if that alone is enough reason to separate them from other "nicer" people, though.

The same can be said about a lot of different ethnic groups. The Irish were (in)famous for their grumpy behavior during the 1960s and the 1970s. During the 1980s, it was the turn of the Turks, Poles and the Romanians. Now the Chinese, Arabs and the Indians are getting the flak. Within the next 10-20 years, it will be the turn of some other people.

This is in part due to the increased wealth and mobility of the Chinese and Arabs. You do see a lot more of them in international hot spots these days.

It does seem like a solution. The Chinese aren't restricted to those trains and those trains will have more attention to keep those passengers informed and happy. The news could just as easily have stated it as "Swiss train offers club cars for Chinese tourists!"

Wow... this was the perfect solution. Rather than making the Chinese tourists angry, this measure will attract even more of them to Switzerland, thereby giving valuable revenue for the local communities. Now it is the turn of the Swiss tourism ministry to start their propaganda broadcasts in China, advertising about these new club cars.

That is what happens when you get too much communism in your head.

Communism instead of bringing everybody together, and creating an utopia, it creates a slave class which is deprived of spiritual and life energy, and creativity.

It makes you rude, angry, desperate, low self esteem, and no respect for others, and on top of that a mindless drone that does what its told.


Sorry but comunism is a mental disorder.

Have to disagree with you here. The Arabs are one of the rudest people in the earth, and they were never ruled under communism. And if you have ever visited Cuba (one of the last communist countries remaining in the world right now), you will be surprised to see how friendly the people are. IMO, it is the sudden creation of wealth, which makes people rude.

You do realise that even mainland Chinese don't consider themselves as being "communist" (and they haven't considered themselves as such for at least 35 years)?

It is very funny for anyone who actually knows about China to hear "westerners" still saying today that they are communist.

They aren't (and if you don't know that *then you are a brainwashed westerner*).

In regards to their overseas tourists I think that Aussies in Bali or Thailand don't really have a better reputation (and I am an Aussie).

I disagree there, wealth makes people happy and free, wich boosts their mood and become friendly.

I`ve been to rich people for dinner and they are the kindest people of them all. I went to a friends house for dinner and their parents were always bickering over basic stuff.

If you dont believe just go into a ghetto and ask for a cup of sugar from your neighbors, they will not welcome you very friendly.

Communism is not just economic theory, it creates a social/cultural enviroment.

Since every person is equalized, people cant get to a civilized debate, everyone is rude and angry. Most people work in low paying shitty jobs, that adds extra frustration, low self esteem and unhappiness. Plus the constant stress under totalitarianism is making people verry selfish and unhappy.

People get ordered around, they dont have a personal identity, they are just the shackled slaves with no persona or spirit in them, they are just tools for the collective that is siphoning away their creativity and life energy.

I lived in a communist country so i know this from experience.

Again - China is not a "communist country" and if you believe that then you are a "brainwashed westerner".

What else can I say - I live in China and I know!
(you obviously have never lived in China)

They have "first class tickets" here - now what kind of communist country would have that?

Everywhere you can pay more to get "better service" such as "five star hotels" - again - what communist country would have that?

Jesus - even at the banks you can have a VIP account so you don't need to wait so long in a queue (they don't even have that in Australia so basically that makes Australia look more communist than China).

It's not a few perks that distunguish communism from capitalism. So you think that a few train tickets, and VIP accounts are the difference?

Looks like you never picked up an economics book in your life.

It might not be 100% hardcore Stalin style, but it sure has enough remnants of communism left , to be still called communist.

Clearly - you don't know China and are just talking rubbish (and Stalin was about as far away from the ideas of Carl Marx as you could possibly get).

The vast majority of people have to work for a wage just like in the west so your idea of modern China is rather a fantasy.

Also when the natives don't call themselves communist you should probably listen to them (but it seems that you just listen to western propaganda instead).
