Video surfaced on Monday (Oct. 18) showing two Chinese men storm out of a restaurant in California after they were angered by Chinese-Americans singing the U.S. national anthem.
In surveillance camera footage of the incident, two men dressed in dark clothing and wearing black masks can be seen entering a Chinese restaurant in Los Angeles at 7 p.m. on Oct. 13.
About 20 minutes later, camera inside the restaurant's banquet hall shows four or five tables packed with customers, including elected officials and community representatives from various cities in southern California. The event was a fundraising dinner being held for Mike Fong's (方樹強) campaign for California's 49th Assembly District, reported World Journal.
As is standard protocol at such events, prior to the start of the proceedings, everyone stood up as a woman stood next to an American flag and lead the group in singing the "The Star-Spangled Banner." At that same moment, a camera inside the kitchen pointed towards the cashier counter shows one of the men seen earlier gesturing to his friend to get up and leave.
He then asks a waitress for the check, and she quickly hands it to him. He glances at the bill, starts to open his wallet, but suddenly shuts it, points in the direction where the national anthem is being sung, and quickly walks out of the restaurant.
According to the waitress, both men could be heard speaking Mandarin with a northern Chinese accent. As the man was starting to pay the bill, he changed his mind and bitterly complained, "Chinese people singing the American national anthem is so infuriating, we won't pay this bill," before leaving the scene.
The restaurant's owner said the men had ordered about US$100 (NT$2,788) worth of food. In addition to frustration over the monetary loss, he said that he found the men's behavior incomprehensible.
He said he doubted they were trying to get away with a free meal since they barely ate a bite. The owner surmised that the men truly were angered by the patriotic customers.
"These Chinese are all American citizens who were naturalized in the United States. If they can't sing the American national anthem, what can they sing?" asked the owner. He then questioned if the men hate the U.S. so much, why they had come all that way just to "endure hardships and look for anger."

Why they came “all that way” to do their part to destroy this enemy nation.
We have so many enemies who are emboldened now as they know this is the perfect administration during which to attack.
If they really wanted to torque their jaws, sing the Taiwan national anthem. That’ll really get their goat.
Sounds like a good way to ferret out the CCP spies.
Sounds more like Chinese spies waiting to talk to Fong about “opportunities.”
You nailed it!
Or, more likely, deadbeats who scored a free meal while pretending the National Anthem offended them.
Well, THAT worked!
No, they left without eating.
I have a number of Vietnamese friends who grew up under communism and now live here. If you dis the USA in their presence you will leave with lumps and bruises.
I’m sure CNN and MSNBC are busy tracking them down to offer them their own shows.
People who eat and skip out on the bill should be taken down hard, very hard. Oh well.
“Sounds more like Chinese spies waiting to talk to Fong about “opportunities.””
I’m thinking they were spies too, sent there to watch over things.
There is a substantial percentage of Chinese immigrants to western countries whose primary allegiance is to the Communist Chinese regime. In the recent Canadian election, every riding with a significant Chinese population voted for the CCP appeasing Liberal Party. Three Conservative MPs of Hong Kong heritage were defeated, after CCP funded Chinese language newspapers in Vancouver and Toronto engaged in a smear campaign against the Conservatives. If the Chinese military ever stepped foot on US or Canadian soil they would be enthusiastically welcomed by many in the Chinese communities. On paper they should all be voting Republican or Conservative - business oriented, family values - but their primary allegiance is to the Motherland.
... in contrast to a southern Chinese accent I suppose. Just how do you say "all y'all better durn well stop a-singin'" in Mandarin?
Hahaha!
Ooh, or a new ring tone for the phone. Background elevator music.
Sounds like the scene in Casablanca were the diners sang La Marseillaise, pissing off their German occupiers.
