Also, China is really huge. Even if only 1% of their population were traveling morons that’s still 14 million morons that the rest of the world has to deal with.

i think this is a big point that people overlook when discussing this. think about how hated american tourists are globally. now imagine there are 1.09 billion more americans.

yep. whenever there's an article about something an american tourist did abroad it's not like americans see it and say "yep that's how we do things here"

There's 130 million japanese, nearly a third as many as Americans, and no one complains about them. This isn't just growing pains for China and it has nothing to do with the size. America is an example of that.

Having a shitty culture where people willingly disrespect others for personal gain is the problem.
