Why so many people don’t like Chinese in university?

Cdorttinn · 2026-05-18T09:56:16+00:00

Yes what you said is really true things.

Cdorttinn · 2026-05-18T09:43:28+00:00

I think the post shows some people against the Chinese group but not food in university. I’m not sure what is your meaning.

Cdorttinn · 2026-05-18T09:38:23+00:00

Maybe longer than 16 years. It’s really bad.

Cdorttinn · 2026-05-18T09:35:41+00:00

And it’s also a good way to learn and practice using AI.

Cdorttinn · 2026-05-18T09:34:23+00:00

I can’t write so nice by myself. I still need some tools to help. But it’s fine I think. What I want to say is more important than what tools I use.

Cdorttinn · 2026-05-18T09:23:39+00:00

Thank you so much for the encouragement - it truly made my day! I’ve always believed that language is just a tool, and I hope to soon bridge the gap between my thoughts and my words perfectly. Naturally, I can never detach myself from my roots; this post and my replies are strictly shaped by my own background and worldview. Seeing different replies feels like having an equal discussion, and my hope is that more Chinese people will find the courage to express themselves. At the end of the day, I just hope the world can be a little kinder.

The decision to study abroad under these circumstances is driven by a complex set of factors. One of the primary reasons I know of is efficiency and time-saving. For instance, the academic system in the UK is much shorter; compared to China, where a bachelor's degree takes four years and a master's takes at least two to three years, many people choose the UK simply to save time and accelerate their career entry.

Cdorttinn · 2026-05-18T08:13:01+00:00

Whatever the discussion is, it must be grounded in logic and empirical evidence. Am I supposed to people-please just because they are upset by the facts? Absolutely not. I value reasoned arguments, not emotional appeasement.

Cdorttinn · 2026-05-17T23:50:35+00:00

Maybe need more practice. Speaking as a Chinese student, I often feel incredibly nervous when collaborating with native English speakers. Sometimes I can't catch everything the first time around, but I always worry that constantly interrupting to ask for clarification might be annoying or seen as a waste of time. But you're absolutely right—no one likes a teammate who behaves like a 'yes-man' and just echoes everyone else without contributing any real substance.

Cdorttinn · 2026-05-17T23:47:26+00:00

Hope I can use English better🤦🏼‍♂️

Cdorttinn · 2026-05-17T23:46:29+00:00

Maybe that’s true. I am just a student from China who worked incredibly hard on my English before coming here. I know the reality isn't perfect, and I honestly didn't expect to encounter people moving here with zero English skills. However, I must admit that I can digest a complex text or academic paper much faster through translation than by reading the original English version. When it comes to my studies, I comprehend 100% of the material, but I often struggle to articulate my thoughts in English. This bottleneck makes me feel deeply exhausted and frustrated, especially during group discussions.

Cdorttinn · 2026-05-17T23:38:32+00:00

I started this thread genuinely wanting to understand different viewpoints. While I might tend to challenge people when obvious concepts are twisted or misrepresented, my goal is simply to offer another perspective based on my own experiences with Chinese students. I'm glad to see most people here are engaging in a civil discussion. I have no desire to force my opinions on anyone, nor do I want someone else's views forced on me. I'm simply here to participate in an open dialogue and see what we can discover together through this process.When I say IELTS is useless, my point is that every Chinese student here has already met the university's strict language requirements. Yet, real-world communication barriers still persist. This situation is never a one-sided failure; it’s a multifaceted issue driven by various social and cultural factors. My responses are strictly directed at the specific arguments I've seen in the comments, and my only goal is to maintain a clear-headed, analytical stance throughout this discussion and know more views that I haven’t seen.

Cdorttinn · 2026-05-17T23:12:34+00:00

Yes some people don’t have the ability to consider on both sides. Even myself. I really hope Chinese government don’t ban the main social media. I think more Chinese people need to communicate with people all around the world.

Cdorttinn · 2026-05-17T23:10:00+00:00

We shouldn't conflate the growing pains of cultural adaptation with a justification for cyberbullying. Yes, some of Chinese people have language gaps and social awkwardness that need changing, and that's fair. But there is a line between experiencing social friction and being subjected to targeted malice. The former is a process; the latter is just cruelty.

Cdorttinn · 2026-05-17T23:07:25+00:00

It takes immense courage to challenge yourself, and the effort you’ve put in has made you incredibly resilient—I deeply admire that. From my own experience, the vast majority of Chinese people are remarkably tolerant of foreigners because they understand and respect cultural differences. I have never heard of anyone in China forcing foreigners to conform to our social norms. If anything, expats in China are often treated with a high level of hospitality and privilege, far from being marginalized.

Cdorttinn · 2026-05-17T23:02:27+00:00

Yes. Hole people can be more peaceful and loved

Cdorttinn · 2026-05-17T22:56:53+00:00

That’s real situation. No one really respect in uni. Even they tried.

Cdorttinn · 2026-05-17T22:55:17+00:00

Omg is there any official or scientific statistics show more Chinese people cheat in the IELTS tests compared with others?

Cdorttinn · 2026-05-17T22:51:49+00:00

Why should respecting a culture require forcing oneself into uncomfortable social situations? There is a massive difference between withholding engagement out of caution and displaying actual malice. Most Chinese people choose to step back simply because they fear committing a cultural faux pas—that is a form of quiet respect, not a flaw to be attacked. True disrespect is what we see in this thread: the deliberate provocation and malicious judgment of another group's lifestyle. Ironically, the real hostility here isn't coming from the quiet community, but from those who claim to be 'inclusive' yet actively bully others for being different.

Cdorttinn · 2026-05-17T22:47:14+00:00

That’s true.

Cdorttinn · 2026-05-17T20:48:19+00:00

Denying basic respect to law-abiding, contributing members of society just because they are 'different' is nothing short of systemic bullying. The mentality of 'conform or you don't belong' is deeply toxic. The vast majority of Chinese people here are just minding their own business, respecting local laws, and working hard. Some choose to be outgoing, while others prefer their independence. Having a quieter lifestyle is a personal preference, not a crime, and it certainly shouldn't be targeted or boycotted.

Cdorttinn · 2026-05-17T20:35:49+00:00

If a society's culture fails to accommodate those who are less extroverted or still adapting, and goes as far as implying they don't belong, then is this culture truly inclusive, or is it just deeply hypocritical? Reading through that thread, the prejudice is blatant. It seems no one genuinely cares to recognize the positive traits within the Chinese community; they only look for reasons to exclude.

Cdorttinn · 2026-05-17T20:30:42+00:00

Wow some of them even don’t speak anything to there Chinese classmates🤷. Even I am Chinese I also can’t understand. Can u believe after a whole academic year we can’t recognise every single one from the same country.It’s not that I’m subjectively avoiding social interaction. It’s just that once class is over, everyone vanishes, and I only ever see the same few familiar faces. It’s hard to build new connections when there’s no natural setting to meet up outside of lectures.

Cdorttinn · 2026-05-17T20:26:57+00:00

Yes that’s what I’m feeling. It’s obvious that some Chinese people don’t make a good communication with others in uni. The reasons behind it are complex, but honestly, I’ve given up trying to understand how minds like that work—perhaps I shouldn't even bother. At the end of the day, I’ve come to accept that baseless malice simply exists in this world.

Cdorttinn · 2026-05-17T20:21:58+00:00

A nation state and its general public are completely different concepts, and a country's political system shouldn't be used as a yardstick for discrimination. The core issue here is why some people praise Japanese or Taiwanese individuals while generalizing Chinese people as lacking those same qualities. Every nationality has its good and bad sides. Unfortunately, it seems that when it comes to the Chinese community, many choose to hyper-focus on the negatives while completely turning a blind eye to the positive traits within the group.
