Like, would they do this in their country too?
Absolutely

Among them, “entering houses without permission to use the bathroom,” “break-ins,” “littering,” and people “defecating in private yards” and “complaining when residents catch them.”
I really don’t understand how a tourist can think any of this makes sense. Like, would they do this in their country too?

I had the absolute fortune to make my way through there at the end of last year. It was so bizarre to me that for the most part people are left alone to follow the rules with no oversight
And for the most part I saw everyone behaving well and not doing anything stupid; except the group of people trying to take pictures of a bison who was clearly unhappy about how close they were getting. He was grazing and would walk away a couple steps and they would follow. The boi was swishing his tail and showing what I saw were “leave me the fuck alone” signs and I had to at least shout to the people to leave him alone and they were fucking idiots. I was HOPING that they got charged and had some sense knocked into them
My partner and I had had discussions previously about what we’d do if something like that was about to happen and the kiddo in the car. If it’s just us adults then we’ll stay and watch the carnage but we’ll take off if they’re with us

There is no reasonable explanation here except inadequate availability of public restrooms for the amount of tourists.
gravitas_deficiency@sh.itjust.works 2 weeks ago
That’s… not the problem. And even if it was, the solution is absolutely not “I guess I’ll shit in that guy’s yard”. Go into a hotel lobby or coffee shop or bar or whatever, ask for the restroom (use your phone as a translator if you need to, because that’s a thing now), and do it there.
PumaStoleMyBluff@lemmy.world 2 weeks ago
Also, what exactly are you suggesting “the problem” is, then? Because based on the rest of the thread, it sounds like most of the people refusing to name the problem are quietly encouraging Chinese racism.
gravitas_deficiency@sh.itjust.works 2 weeks ago
Holy fuck, guy, it’s not racism against Chinese people. It’s frustration and irritation against tourists that behave heinously. Those tourists unfortunately happen to be predominantly Chinese. But if Americans or Russians or Brazilians or Indians were doing it, we’d all be having the same reaction. Stop borrowing outrage.
Tollana1234567@lemmy.today 2 weeks ago
dude its not racism has happened for the last 10 years, its chinese tourists from china. nobody said british, canadian or even uk chinese people.
PumaStoleMyBluff@lemmy.world 2 weeks ago
Elsewhere in this thread, it definitely sounds like that’s the problem? People are saying these are residential neighborhoods where the only public restrooms are in a park, and they were already packed and overflowing.
gravitas_deficiency@sh.itjust.works 2 weeks ago
Even if that is true, how is “I will shit in this random residential yard” a reasonable solution to that?
Tollana1234567@lemmy.today 2 weeks ago
trashy chinese tourists, i have heard over the years the ones from china are especially bad, and very feral.
jaschen306@sh.itjust.works 2 weeks ago
China. These are China-nese tourists. They used to do the same shit in Taiwan before the government banned them.
I saw a mom put their kid on the trashcan so he could pee into a trash can. This was an indoor mall.

It’s a frequent issue in Hong Kong too where people from the mainland will just shit right in the street and walk away like its no big deal.
Scirocco@lemmy.world 2 weeks ago
I was not aware that mainland China had designated shitting streets.
Huh
Tollana1234567@lemmy.today 2 weeks ago
why is there a poop deck on ships if not for pooping
thatradomguy@lemmy.world 2 weeks ago
how do they wipe?
UnspecificGravity@piefed.social 2 weeks ago
They don’t
jaschen306@sh.itjust.works 2 weeks ago
Oh they do wipe. They preemptively decided to shit in public.
It’s worse that they do wipe. They don’t take their tissues with them and drop it on their poop and the wind starts terrorizing the local people cuz that tissue becomes a moving bio weapon.
Tollana1234567@lemmy.today 2 weeks ago
i dont think they do.
lechekaflan@lemmy.world 2 weeks ago
Most tourists are usually mindful of the country they’re visiting, but then most Mainland Chinese are former farm peasants who suddenly got wealthy for some reason and live in big cities, so able to even travel abroad, but unfortunately have little to no understanding of etiquette and how to properly conduct themselves elsewhere.
ulterno@programming.dev 2 weeks ago
It still feels weird though.
Farm peasants over here, know to shit in farm areas where it would actually serve as manure, rather than right next to the street.
I would also assume they actually dig before and cover later.
Tollana1234567@lemmy.today 2 weeks ago
usually its very unsanitory to shit in your crops, because you spread bacteria that is more harmful other people. its different from a cows dung feces over humans. E-coli being one of them, thats why they use manure of herbivorious animals over carnivores/omnivores, more potential to have parasites too.

farm peasonts that have always lived there at least for hundreds or thousands of years vs american farm peasants who have been there for like 320 years max, like peasant culture is more modern/new here than other countries

Weirdly, you don’t see that behavior from Chinese tourists in China. Well I did see one dude have hus toddler piss on the floor of a train because the bathroom was occupied, but he got yelled at, because in chinese culture, its considered disrespectful to piss on the floor. They even have a concept called “别他妈的往地板上撒尿”.
sukhmel@programming.dev 2 weeks ago
I don’t know, I’ve seen grown ups pissing in the park in Shanghai, not somewhere deep in the bushes but right beside the pavement and buildings. That was not indoors, at least
Tollana1234567@lemmy.today 2 weeks ago
its probably farm people vs city people, the latter has more etiquette than the rural folks. alot of rural chinese suddenly became RICH overnight, so they havnt adapted to proper etiquette.
