Cup noodle fans should think twice when booking holidays in the Maldives, according to several Chinese travel agencies. Some luxury resorts have stopped providing Chinese guests with hot water to prevent them from skipping meals and room service in favor of cup noodles.
One even allegedly coined a new interpretation for “CN” – the acronym of “China”: cup noodle, as reported by the SCMP.
Another complaint is that Chinese tourists sometimes cook food in the water heaters (including crabs) and ruin the heaters.
Chinese tourists often fail to try out any “foreign food” preferring the (bad) cup noodles. They should learn to eat other food. Just imagine I stay here in Beijing and refuse to eat Chinese “ugly food”, accepting only Belgian fries and steaks, and of course a Camembert. How insulted the Chinese hosts would be. I am now more Chinese than the average Chinese: I love all the different cuisines here, but Chinese stick often to “their” food only and can be so damned fussy (I am from XYZ and we don’t eat rice, spicy food, beef, etc.). Things are changing slowly, as I see the many Chinese now eating out in Western restaurants (and visibly enjoying it). But we still have too many “farmers-eating-noodles-only”. Many Chinese have really closed minds for other cultures.

Actor Jackie Chan says it’s time China got tough about upholding the law. The actor comes regularly in the news for his remarks, his frequent advertising stunts and even being seen using a military car.
At least here Jackie Chan is right (he made a similar remark years ago that I quote in my seminars). As Chinese people generally speaking have zero respect for laws and regulations, only enforcement works. Singapore, with all its ethnic Chinese had no choice either and became a police state. As I explain to first-time visitors to Beijing, if you want to understand Chinese mentality, forget Confucius. Stand at a traffic intersection, see how people have no regard for anything. Including throwing trash through their car windows.
Beijing has a new law prohibiting smoking in restaurants. While most foreign-managed restaurants respect the regulation, just walk into most other bars and restaurants where Chinese smoke as much as before.

“Chinese billionaire: ‘People with lower education levels should be prohibited from giving birth'”
Chen Guangbiao sparks outrage on internet, 05 March, 2013, by Chris Luo (SCMP)

Chen Guangbiao is a typical example of the odious “new rich” generation, looking down at fellow Chinese, not giving value to what those “uneducated” contribute to society (who is “servicing” him and his family?), bullying others. Recent scandals with those new-rich show a real ugly side of the new Chinese society, not even to mention how they behave in traffic. I feel very sad for this trend. it gives China a poor and undeserved image. Mr. Chen, I really despise people like you while I always try to be friendly to the “fuwuyuan”. And yes, let them have children.
