China bad, even when it’s good.
Extreme mental gymnastics to twist literally anything . The US certainly isn’t innocent on this.
So obvious and absurd it has become a meme and something to ridicule.

Maybe I’m too Usian to understand this but the article doesn’t call out tourists from any particular country. So it’s odd to me that China is being called out so much in the comments.

Seems odd to me as well. I feel like we need proof other than strangers on the Internet just making claims.

Strangers making claims on the internet is all this place is. There’s no “proof” needed or available here.

People know… If this news was from somewhere in Europe everyone would be blaming the Brits in the comments. It’s known…

I doubt it.
Americans and Brits tourists here in Europe do indeed have a certain reputation, but Chinese tourists have such a bad reputation that Brits and Americans are welcomed with open arms.
The biggest problem are the groups though. Any group is going to behave badly, nationality doesn’t matter. And that in combination with how different Chinese culture is in some aspects just has given them a bad reputation worldwide.
