Tourists tarred with old brush

Perhaps because of some embarrassing previous incidents overseas, there was much online criticism directed at the Chinese tourists supposedly making trouble at Bangkok Airport recently.

Even without satisfying any curiosity to know the truth about the incident, many netizens unhesitatingly reproached the tourists concerned, claiming they had "no quality" and were making "Chinese people lose face".

In view of past reports about the uncivilized behavior of Chinese tourists overseas, from "making too much noise" to "vandalizing historical monuments", many Chinese do feel there is a need for our fellow citizens going abroad to behave better.
