I’ve lived in close proximity to many Chinese people for the last 25 years and have never once seen one of them spit. This includes several hundred children.

Were the people you know fresh from China? It takes a while for some people to acculturate to a different society.

Yeah, I've worked with a lot of Chinese and have never seen anything like what this article describes. Of course, most of the Chinese I have known were in the IT profession. I wouldn't think uncouth peasants would have the means to vacation in Switzerland though.

Spitting on the floor? Chinese?

The Chinese are ‘the holidaymakers’, as they say, but the rest of the tourists maybe from some of the different oriental lands, and since they are not European, do not have the same more’s as the Swiss.

I don't doubt that what you are saying is accurate to your experience, but if you happen to visit a casino in Atlantic City or anywhere to which buses from NY's Chinatown run, you will see this quite often unfortunately. Spitting on the floor indoors as if they were out on the street. Not all - mind you - but enough to give you a different perspective.
