    Chinese tourists complaining of rudeness? That’s rich!Given the shocking behavior (i.e., spitting in the street, taking their shoes and socks off in public, jumping queues, talking loudly) of most Chinese tourists abroad, the Chinese government itself is threatening to pull the passports of those who refuse to comport themselves in a dignified or even civilized fashion when abroad. I’m sure the Parisians (as wells as Singaporeans, Malaysians and residents of other nations that the newly-affluent Chinese deign to visit) would love it if they boycotted their cities/nations. They crowd into shops/restaurants/cafes in enormous groups, are extremely rude, demanding and loud and then wonder why salespeople and wait staff groan when they see them coming. Perhaps they should just stay home?
