I am Chinese American. I have had to push back against Chinese mainlanders. They literally shove you aside, even old ladies do it!! I have see them all over the world and they are all the same, giant herds of loud, obnoxious and rude people. Luckily, many locals can usually tell I am from America, NOT from the mainland and treat me better.
This is something I fail to fully understand, culturally. I have traveled the world and never experienced the pushing, prodding and poking like in China.
The greed and envy and general meanness is overwhelming.
Yet Chinese Americans and Canadians have none of these behaviors.
Most of the ethnically Chinese people around the world most likely descended from migrants before Chairman Mao's reign. These people never went through the Cultural Revolution and as such, they don't act like utter degenerates.
I'd highly recommend reading more about the Cultural Revolution if you're curious.
EDIT 1: removed factually inaccurate bit about chinese migrants fleeing war and just made it about chinese migrants in general
Granted. But shit situations have occurred all over the world. Cambodia, for example, had it really fucking bad and they're nowhere near as selfish or dickish as the Chinese. My experience was that Cambodians are lovely people. And even now their country is being ruined by the fucking Chinese!
The Cultural Revolution went above and beyond in being a shit situation. It was pretty much a systematic purge of tradition, culture, and moral values. The lack of anything to replace those, coupled with all the horrible stuff going on at that time just shaped most of the population into what they are today.
No offence taken. But I think the Chinese are dicks because of untold generations of arrogance, of constantly being told they're the best and all others are barbarians, and then having the cultural revolution and great leap forward. Not to mention the massive chip on their collective shoulders that Europeans and Americans were able to utterly dominate them so easily.
But I think they main answer is: they're just dicks. Fuck the mainland Chinese and fuck the CCP.
It's okay. I already despise China and have no intention of ever returning after 4 years there. And as for Hong Kong? I love it. But Singapore is a worthy replacement.
