Swedish police action appalling

When some Chinese tourists misbehave with locals or are disrespectful to local customs overseas, the Chinese government and people immediately condemn their actions. But Chinese tourists traveling abroad often are at the receiving end.

On Sept 2, a Chinese man and his parents landed in Stockholm, Sweden, in the early hours of the morning. After reaching the hotel, the man requested the staff to allow his parents to rest in the lobby because they were not feeling well and couldn't check into their rooms until a few hours later. And he offered to pay for it.

The man later said the hotel not only declined the request but also called the police, who ignored his explanation and pleas, and dragged his father from the sofa and pushed him to the ground. The three were eventually forced into a police car and dropped near a cemetery kilometers away from downtown Stockholm.
