China accuses Sweden of violating human rights over treatment of tourists
The Guardian ^ | 17 Sep 2018 | Lily Kuo

A disagreement between Chinese tourists and a hostel in Stockholm over check-in time has turned into a diplomatic spat between China and Sweden, after Beijing criticised Sweden for violating the human rights of Chinese citizens. [snip]

Bizarre video footage posted online shows police carrying the group outside, while the son yells in English: “This is killing. This is killing.” Another clip shows the three lying on the ground crying loudly while the mother wails in Chinese: “Save me.” [snip]

“I broke down and lost my mind,” Zeng said. “I was not able to think whether it was appropriate or not. I just wanted to denounce the police and seek help from pedestrians.” A manager at the hostel told Swedish newspaper, Aftonbladet, the family had arrived the day before their booking and refused to leave...

Re China asserting “human rights”?

Who do they think they’re kidding?

Its clearly a set-up.

China’s watching America’s left and has learned some lessons.

The question is why Sweden, and why now?

You are correct. When I make a reservation at hotel the first thing I ask is: “You you have Chinese Tour Groups staying there?” If “yes”. Me: “Nice to know ya!”

I’ve done a lot of work with Chinese over the years - even they are horrified by their countrymen’s behavior. Most are the spoiled offspring of the party elite. Hardly anyone else can afford to take any trips outside the region.

So no problem for the police there in roughing up Chinese tourists, but HUGE PROBLEM dealing with their ‘new arrivals’ raping the crap out of their women.

Go figure.

If the tourists are connected to the Party, that would explain the Chinese government getting involved.

This was because the Dalai Llama visited Stockholm some weeks before this:

China warned the Swedes not to recive the Dalai Llama yet the Swedes went ahead, anyway, and let him speak.

The wailing tourists were on a political mmission, their goal was to provoke an incident in which China could be cast as victim, instead of, per the Dalai Llama’s speech, culpable instigator invaders.

So the “tourists” did some more instigating.

The arrival of the “tourists” on the wrong day was deliberate, it was an orchestration.

This isn’t my experience with Chinese people who come over as students. They’re generally lovely people with great manners.

A few years ago, China was ‘punishing’ those tourists that caused too much trouble for China’s image. Now they’re politicizing them.

To pull from the subtitles of a video linked below, China tourist misbehavior is a direct manifestation, the cultural end result, of Marxism and Communism:

“Scholars say that the Chinese Communist Party’s destruction of morality, traditional culture and people’s faiths has ruined today’s Chinese people. If moral standards can’t be restored, no matter how many rules are created, it still won’t work...Chinese cultural critic Ye Kuangzheng says Chinese people’s uncivilized behaviors reflect that they lack of common sense...”An important reason is that a revolutionist or Marxist style of communicating and education was implemented for the first 30 years after 1949. Revolutionaries ‘don’t care about details’ as they tell it. In the following 30 years, the values standard was simply based on two things: money and power. Ye Kuangzheng says the Chinese custom, traditional culture, Confucian culture and religion were decimated by the CCP. In addition, the deprival of rights to the freedom of expression and communication has completely overturned Mainland Chinese people’s moral standards and values causing the Chinese people’s overall quality to decline.

Yep, they tried that and the senior party guys got an ear-full from their families so they are going a different route to test the waters.
